The key element in Monash's strategy to improve the quality of its learning environment is its commitment to student-centred flexible learning. The approach emphasises innovation and flexibility in teaching delivery to provide students with more options in pace, place, time and style of learning, as well as the way in which students interact with their peers and teachers. Suitable projects include those relating to the development of courses and subjects which offer teaching and learning activities in a student-centred flexible manner and those addressing key aspects of the LTOP, such as internationalisation of the curriculum.
Applications require faculty endorsement and support.
Applications close on 4 June.
