Please note, our Melbourne gathering will now be held from 10:30am – 2:30pm at the RMIT city campus Building 22, Level 3, Room 2.

Register now for our second member gathering for 2024. We will talk policy, provide professional development and give you the chance to talk to your colleagues from around Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand about the issues that matter most to you.

At this year’s Melbourne gathering we will be joined by Associate Professor Jason Lodge. Jason is Associate Professor of Educational Psychology and Director of the Learning, Instruction, and Technology Lab in the School of Education at The University of Queensland. He will be joined by Professor Mia Lindgren from the University of Tasmania, who is co-leading the DASSH 2024 special interest group focussed on artificial intelligence with Professor Samantha Bennett from the Australian National University.

They will lead a workshop on the chronic and acute disruptors posed by AI to higher education – what are the challenges but more importantly, what are the opportunities?

We will also host an informal discussion between colleagues where members are given a chance to discuss the challenges and opportunities they are facing at their own institutions.

The member gathering will allow you to mingle with colleagues from around Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, to discuss pressing issues, share insights and ideas and to enjoy a complementary lunch. We have had some great feedback on prior events including:

“When you become a Dean your peers become Deans from other institutions. It’s so valuable to have the opportunity to get together and share ideas and challenges with other DASSH members.”
