Abstract
The 2019 theme, Vision & Voice is one that hopes both to capture and to inspire ideas about the future of learning and teaching in higher education from an inclusive perspective. It seeks to tap into burgeoning ideas in the sector concerning what sort of future our graduates will face and how this might affect approaches to learning and teaching; how to equip and inspire university educators, and how better to involve (and hear) student voices in university planning and delivery. Perspectives that might be considered for workshops and presentations might include: how globalisation is changing the demographic of both academics and students across the sector; the significance of the first year experience in achieving ultimate success; indigenous representation and the power of storytelling to enhance understanding and empower change; new international markets and what this might mean for academic and service delivery; industry and patient perspectives and their impact on teaching; the challenges for leadership to create, guide and implement an effective vision for the future of learning and teaching in WA.
