- 21. Panel Questions As Gurukkal (2020) proposed, have the discovered affordances and essential reliance upon online digital learning and teaching during this past year caused an “irreversible” shift to a “new mode” of higher education? Feel free to comment or post your question in chat Learning & Teaching Showcase 2020 21
- 22. Panel Questions A lot is being discussed and debated this year in terms of emerging technologies like mixed reality, virtual reality, immersive experiences, 360-degree video and the more contentious artificial intelligence (AI) and “remote online proctoring.” How have these technologies started to impact online learning and teaching? How HAS technology overall made a genuine contribution to the learning and teaching space and what are the potentials for a virtual campus at USQ? Feel free to comment or post your question in chat Learning & Teaching Showcase 2020 22
- 23. Panel Questions What are some of the potential and perceived risks? At USQ we initiated a hub for immersive and virtual experiences to help explore, experiment and engage with these approaches to enhance online learning at USQ. How might this hub work in the future to best support our students and staff? Feel free to comment or post your question in chat Learning & Teaching Showcase 2020 23

Editor's Notes
- Bio NOTES: I have been nursing since I completed hospital training in 1989. Since that time I have had a diverse career covering paediatrics, operating theatre, infectious diseases, gastrointestinal and liver transplants and intensive care. Early in my career I saw the need for nurses to qualify with a tertiary education so I undertook one of the first bridging (from general nursing certificate to bachelor) degrees, in Qld. Since then I have completed post grad qualifications in ICU nursing where I spent 14 years honing my critical care skills. In 2006 I decided to try studying something different so I completed a Bachelor of Laws degree. I worked in the industry for a short time but missed nursing a lot so I came back. I discovered that I had a passion for education and sharing my knowledge with those wishing to become RNs. I started teaching nursing in July 2012 and I haven't looked back since. I completed a Master of Nursing majoring in Clinical Education so that I could be good at my job. It is my greatest joy to see new graduate nurses embarking on their own nursing journey and knowing that I had a small part to play in helping them achieve that goal. I am now in conducting research on the use of augmented & virtual reality in nurse education, looking at the academic's view of using such technology, as I work to obtain my PhD. I love studying and learning and I hope that I can instill a lifelong passion for learning in all those I teach.
- Bio NOTES: A long-standing member of the engineering faculty and known advocate for technology enhanced learning and teaching, including the innovative use of immersive and virtual approaches in the areas of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Andrew’s approaches and techniques were show-cased at the 2019 AAEE Engineering Educator’s conference hosted by USQ in Brisbane, around this time last year – when the world was “normal.” Somewhat of an online celebrity, Andrew regularly speaks, blogs and podcasts about a range of communication and emerging technologies, reflecting an established level of expertise and hands-on driven know how.
- Segue to Health and Well being discussion: Health and well-being have been upfront and central in our minds this past year. How have we /might we better cater for and support staff and student well-being?
