Continuity and creativity in a digitial ageMerilyn Childs
Breakfast address, Box Hill TAFE, Melbourne, November 2013. In this presentation I argued that the 4 problems I faced in 1979, when I first became an educator, are continuous - if differently resolved in a digital age.
This slide was used for a "Being Digital" workshop I facilitated at an LTC Showcase at the University of Wollongong. I set up a #hackbeingdigital hashtag a week prior, and encouraged participation. The workshop offers participants, who are in 2044, an opportunity to enter a Holodeck in 2014 to see what "being digital meant" at that time. The lived experience of the workshop is not on the ppt, as I switched to twitter, and participants did discovery activities that were then posted at #hackbeingdigital
Managing institutional change in Higher EducationMerilyn Childs
In 2011, Dehub funded Charles Sturt University (NSW Australia) and Massey University (NZ) to conduct a partnership research project to explore the following research question:What do the strategies and activities designed to foster change in blended and flexible learning and distance education developed at CSU and MU help us to understand about learning leadership?
This presentation provides an overview of the study and it's findings.
I gave this presentation as part of a PechuKucha-style colloquy held with colleagues at the Australian Digital Futures Institute on Wed 17th July, 2013. I aimed to give a few hints as to why I began using visual studies method, and some approaches. There is no voice over, so I have added some explanatory thought bubbles.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Key Note Address, Women in Firefighting Conference 2006
1. A celebration of diversity in the
fire services.
Professor Merilyn Childs, University of Western Sydney
Retirement Address
International Women in Fire Fighting Conference,
Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia
7th June 2016
2. The focus of this address…
This address is about culture and history, and is based on social
research
It has not about pitting “men” or “women” fire fighters against
each other
Rather it is about the way in which we imagine “fire fighters” and
how what we imagine is possible is shaped by language &
images
It will foster the idea that it is time for us to imagine and to
remember that it is normal for fire fighters to be female

4. Good work sister –
a century of female fire
fighting in Australasia.
Dr Merilyn Childs, University of Western Sydney.

Today I’d like to honour all

arguably the first female
Captain in the Australian fire
services.

9. Women’s Fire Auxiliary c1940s
During WWII, across Australasia, women were
deployed in what had previously been deemed to be
“men’s” jobs”. One of the jobs they were deployed to
perform was fire fighting. The women of the Women’s
Fire Auxiliary trained as the men did, attended fires,
checked equipment, engaged in community safety,
and competed in fire fighting games.
13. Women’s Fire Auxiliary
Today, I’d like to ask you to honour the presence of
four female fire fighters who served with the NSW
Women’s Fire Auxiliary during World War II.
