The University of Sydney Business School is a globally impactful
Business School with over 14000 students at our state of the art campus in the
centre of Sydney and is a key faculty within the University of Sydney. We are
delivering a new initiative called Connected Learning at Scale which is
designed to transform the teaching and learning experience for our students
through innovative delivery models, agile uses of technology and cutting edge
approaches to connected pedagogy, all located within our large core
face-to-face programs. This project will be using innovative approaches to
educational transformation that will engage our students in connected approaches
to education, support learning through the community, engage in critical
conversations around learning and teaching spaces and support our approach to
designing innovative pedagogies that may include students as producers,
gamification/playful learning and other emerging models and practices. Both of
these posts are key parts of a large new team being recruited at the USBS.
