Graduate Certificate of Education (Innovation and Change)

As one of Australia’s fastest growing universities, we take a progressive approach to learning. Our courses are co-designed, developed and delivered with industry, giving you confidence that you’ll graduate job-ready. During this course you will:

• Identify and address complex educational problems with a modern approach.
• Apply research skills and design thinking processes to reinvent the classroom.
• Make independent judgements on the relevance and effectiveness of educational developments.
• Engage in curriculum design and development initiatives.

This course provides you with advanced theoretical and practical knowledge around best practices in identifying issues and opportunities in teaching and learning. Learn to design methods of responding to such issues through practice, and the role of technology in supporting innovation in contemporary learning settings.

The program aims to provide you with a set of advanced technical skills and tools that can be applied across a range of settings, and to reinforce a mindset of critical reflection that can be applied in future practice, as well as in response to current issues and opportunities.
