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.

Social justice, inclusive design and RMIT’s Open Educational Practices (OEP) Framework

The Australian Open Textbook project will present a virtual seminar and discussion chaired by Matt Brett (Deakin University and NCSEHE) with Anne Lennox, Associate Director, Library Services (Teaching and Research) (RMIT).

This is a timely discussion as higher education deals with major changes in the wake of COVID-19, including the need for policy adjustments and equity initiatives to address local and international digital divides.

This seminar is part of the ‘Australian Open Textbooks as social justice’ project which is currently interviewing students, academics, librarians and staff from various universities in Australia on the use of textbooks and the potential of adopting OER and diversification of content.
