COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS
Nominations for the Macquarie University Community Service Awards are now open. The awards cover two categories: Community Outreach Awards and Outstanding Service Awards.
I invite nominations for Macquarie University Community Service Awards. Macquarie University introduced Awards for Outstanding Service by members of staff in 2001 under two heads:
Community Outreach Awards have been established to encourage and reward outstanding achievements in community outreach. Community outreach is a core area of the Macquarie's strategic mission to engage with the community at large and to promote access to high quality scholarship and services.
Outstanding Service Awards mark the long-term commitment and achievements of members of staff in their work at Macquarie University. The nominees for these awards will have made exceptional contributions to the University which have not been recognised through awards for teaching or research or community outreach.
Members of staff may put themselves forward for an award, or be nominated by a colleague. The nomination should include an account of the outstanding contributions in outreach or service, a short curriculum vitae, a supporting statement from the relevant Dean or Head of Office, and names of three members of staff who may be approached to support the nomination.
Nominations should be sent to John Loxton, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic).
The closing date for receipt of nominations is 17 October 2003.
If you would like more information, please call me on x7442.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic)
ACADEMIC SENATE MEETING19 August 2003Bachelor of Arts – Open Learning AustraliaThe most important item was Senate’s recommendation of approval of a new Bachelor of Arts through Open Learning Australia. Macquarie University is a part-owner of the OLA organisation. As a consequence of this decision which University Council accepted on 22 August 2003, Macquarie will now be a major provider of humanities and social science units through OLA. OLA students study independently using materials supplied by the university offering the particular unit. They may take units from any of the participating institutions. They may, if they wish, enrol for a degree to be awarded by one of the participating universities, or they may choose to take one or more single units. These are not HECS places. Macquarie’s BA by OLA is modelled on the general Macquarie BA, with a few changes. To meet the usual OLA requirements, students must compete 24 units, which is more than is required for our usual BA. A minimum of 8 of these must be from the Macquarie OLA schedule. At least 6 units must be at 300 level or above, including at least 3 from Macquarie’s schedule. Senate approved two programs of study for this degree. The first is a combined History and Politics program, and the second is called Society, Life and Learning. The latter concentrates on sociology, but draws on other areas of study as well. In 2004, Macquarie will be offering up to 27 units from 10 Departments across the University, and from 4 Divisions (Humanities, SCMP, ACES, and Linguistics and Psychology). These units are currently being developed for OLA by academic staff with the assistance of the Centre for Flexible Learning. 2005 Undergraduate & Postgraduate Academic Program Senate approved new procedures and timetables for the processing of coursework postgraduate academic program proposals for 2005. This is a change from past practice, with postgraduate procedures being assimilated with those at the undergraduate level. The various forms for changes and proposals in both the Postgraduate and Undergraduate programs can be found online at: http://www.mq.edu.au/senate/rules.html AUQA Report Senate noted that the AUQA Report is very complimentary about teaching and research at Macquarie. And as the Vice Chancellor has pointed out publicly, the Report is very inaccurate on the point that has received the most publicity, concerning one of the offshore programs in Singapore. The Report is generally favourable about Senate’s processes. This includes the processes of approving and monitoring programs and units. Particular commendation was given to the support given to flexible learning, the range of initiatives for promoting good teaching practice, and for the strong commitment to the integration of research and teaching. MGSM’s processes are especially commended. There are a few recommendations that affect Senate directly, including approval of changes of modes of delivery of units; monitoring of Codes of Supervisory Practice; and some aspects of offshore teaching. More detailed suggestions concern the increased use of stakeholder involvement in course accreditation; the possibility of strengthening the reaccreditation of existing courses; the strengthening of generic skills teaching; and the comparison of results between offshore and local students. We are already underway on each of these issues. There is, for instance, a Special Interest Group on generic skills teaching (along with groups working on internationalisation and on assessment). Senate also reached a policy decision that Divisions should establish strategic advisory committees to ensure relevant stakeholders are consulted and involved in the formation and review of programs. Prerequisites Senate endorsed a new policy on the use of prerequisites. Divisions are asked to review their prerequisites to determine which of them should remain, and which should be transferred to a "recommended" category. Credit Transfer Senate also noted that there is renewed interest in credit transfer between TAFE and university, as well as between school and university. The issue is being pressed by the NSW government.

DATES FOR PRESENTING MATERIAL TO THE PRINTERY FOR SEMESTER 1, 2004Due to peak demands at certain times of the year, the workload in the Printery needs to be regulated. It is important for academic staff to recognise this and to plan their work for submission accordingly. This will enable the printing of materials to be scheduled effectively and deadlines to be met (within reason). Distance Education Units Submit by Friday 28 November 2003 Ready for first dispatch of course material by the Centre for Open Education (COE) in early February 2004. Internal Units Submit by Friday 5 December 2003 Ready for commencement of classes Monday 1st March 2004 Internal and distance Education Units (for sale in the Co-op Bookshop) Submit by Friday 5 December 2003 Ready for sale by Monday 23 February 2004.

Projects should involve significant innovation or developments likely to result in improvements to the quality of teaching, student learning or assessment across whole programs or sequences of units. The Divisions involved are expected to make a direct cash contribution to the project. The following priority areas have been identified for the current round:
Invitations to lodge expressions of interest are advertised in Staff News. Short listed applicants will be asked to present a more detailed application to the Selection Committee. Macquarie University Teaching Development Grants support small scale teaching development initiatives that further the strategies indicated in the University’s Teaching and Learning Plan but extend beyond the normal curriculum development activities expected within Divisions and Departments. A maximum of $6,000 is available per project, to be spent over one year. More information is available from Maree Gosper, Grants Coordinator, Centre for Flexible Learning, x9752, email: maree.gosper.mq.edu.au and at: http://www.cfl.mq.edu.au Curriculum Review and Development Grants One or more special areas of interest will be declared each year.

More information about the scheme and the form of application is available from John Loxton, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), x7442, email: john.loxton@mq.edu.au. Other University Sources of Funding The Vice-Chancellor’s Development Fund is another avenue for supporting key initiatives aligned with the University’s Strategic Directions. There is no set timetable or format for applications. Ideas should be raised with the Vice-Chancellor or a member of the Executive. Where there is a direct commercial outcome, the funds may be given in the form of a loan against future income. One major priority is the development of offshore programs and international projects. Flexible on-line teaching initiatives may also be funded from this source. Details about the scheme and deadlines for application are available from John Loxton, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), x7442, email: john.loxton@mq.edu.au and David Rich, Director Centre for Flexible Learning, x8390 or email: David.Rich@mq.edu.au.

GUITARS AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR EAST TIMORESE CHILDRENDo you have an old guitar sitting in a corner that hasn't been played for years? I am collecting guitars and other musical instruments to send to the children of Lauana. This is one of the poorest villages in East Timor with only one school for 400 children. There is one room with an earth floor, a few teachers who can teach to 4th grade, which is where the children's education stops. They have no chairs, desks, blackboard or books. As the East Timorese people are very musical, I am collecting guitars and other musical instruments to send to the children of Lauana. If you don't have an instrument donations are also useful as a guitar only costs around $100. I also run a monthly bushdance in Eastwood which supports this cause. The bushdance dates for the rest of the year are: 13 September, 11 October, 8 November, 13 December. The dances are held at St Andrew's Uniting Church Hall, corner of Rutledge and Trelawney Streets, Eastwood from 8.00pm until midnight. Entry is $15.
