The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

The Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning (C3L) is excited to announce its first face-to-face international conference.

C3L focuses on the complex relationship between human and artificial cognition, how it changes society, knowledge processes, and teaching and learning. C3L uses complex science methodologies, promotes the uptake of applied research and engages with the community, government agencies (healthcare, education, defence, cultural) and industry to research the lifespan of learning and the role of the University of South Australia in serving all stages of knowledge and learning processes.
