Now watching more Deakin colleagues Kat Kain & Naomi Nirupa David talk about not just about access to learning environments but how students develop knowledge once they're in the door - "Peopling the technology: Designing for successful student transition"
#UniSTARS
They outline complexity of Deakin context of students learning in different modes, and diverse learning configurations. They're taking care to emphasise this is not a deficit approach, instead recognising competing demands on student time/energy means variety of learning options

Slipped into @pranit_a's presentation a couple of minutes late, oops. He's talking about students who choose not to attend f2f or a range of reasons - which could include physical or learning disability, [mental] health conditions.
@pranit_a But, the online/distance ed experience can be 2nd rate due to lack of social connections, access to internet and equipment, familiarity with technology.
Soooo how can create environments to facilitate groupwork?

Back for day 3 of #UniSTARS. Opening by @rachaelfield68 & @kjnnelson! Rachael acknowledges that conference funding is scarce and informs us that STARS is a not-for-profit conference where fees go towards the organisation of the best experience possible, and to support the journal
Now @KiftSally online to introduce our next keynote speaker, Mark Brown @mbrownz. She acknowledges Country. Mark has many leadership roles in digital and distance learning and while he calls Ireland home now it seems he hails from NZ!
Time for the first keynote. @rg_jones from Te Kupenga Hauora Māori, University of Auckland.
He will be talking about "Moving backwards into the future: Indigenising the health professional curriculum"
#ANZAHPEFestival@rg_jones He starts by asking us to think about designing health professional education - if we build things off what we have done previously, we might miss some of the biggest concerns of the present time - climate change and impact of biodiversity
Hurrah, watching @NLCrawfordTas's presentation at #UniSTARS on her NCSEHE equity fellowship on mental wellbeing. It feels like it's real time but I know it's a recording. Pretty cool experience overall.
Nicole starts off by defining a model of mental wellbeing based on WHO's definition and a self-determination approach which sees it as a complex interaction.
She says that 47.7% of students in her survey considered withdrawing or deferring their studies.

Logged into the #uniSTARS platform and ready to go for the first keynote! Pretending this is a breakfast session 😂 ☕️😴
So, livetweeting may be a bit disrupted as I start my day.... lovely welcome by @kjnnelson & team including reminding us all it is NAIDOC week (the theme is healing country) and acknowledging the traditional custodians of the lands from which we join.
After 10 minutes of fiddling with the room controls finally set up with a big screen version of #CMMNeededNow on Learning Rights. @VerityFirth opened setting the funding scene and what's NQR about how the $$ is spread across the sector currently.
Problems include overall funding level, and who gets the funding for equity. Braden Hill says morning teas ain't going to cut it anymore to achieve equity. #CMMNeededNow

I'm attending a session on teaching and curriculum design to support mental wellbeing at Deakin. There are over 80 people also in the session. It's great to see so many people interested in this.
1 in 4 students will experience a mental health condition in any given year. But this can even be higher in certain subgroups of higher education students. So it's really common. There are a wide variety of conditions - mild, moderate, severe.
