WILing the BA Project 2016

This project aimed to update exemplars of workplace learning opportunities identified in the Nature and Roles of Arts Degrees project to both raise awareness of, and encourage uptake of, effective work integrated learning (WIL) practices in BA programs.

To achieve this aim, the project was designed to:

  • identify common features and models of effective WIL currently in use in Australian BA programs;
  • identify exemplary cases and models with potential for translation to other contexts; and
  • develop strategies to encourage adoption and translation of practices between disciplines and programs.

The project team also actively sought opportunities to identify the potential for expansion of project findings and outcomes to other generalist degrees, such as the Bachelor of Science.

WILing the BA reports

  • A summary report outlining current trends in practice
  • A report outlining the project outcomes and describing the models of WIL in the BA that were identified and proposed
  • A dataset of current WIL practices in BA programs across Australia (password protected, members only).
  • Case studies and examples of the models in practice in BA programs across Australia.
