AAUT & HERDSA National Webinar Series 2026 – Session 2
2 April, 2026
Watch the recording HERE.
Join us for the second session in the 2026 AAUT & HERDSA National Webinar Series, showcasing the innovative practices and insights of 2024 Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) recipients.
This panel explores the theme of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) and Collaborative Educational Partnerships, focusing on how universities and industry can work together to design meaningful, sustainable, and scalable WIL experiences.
Chaired by Prof Angela Carbone (RMIT, 1998 AAUT Award recipient), the panel features Dr Wayne Read (Deakin University – 2024 Citation), Dr Jessica Amy Sears (Charles Sturt University – 2024 Citation), and A/Prof Faith Kwa (Swinburne University – 2024 Citation). Together, they will examine how to build and sustain effective WIL partnerships that deliver value for students, institutions, and industry.
Drawing on their experience, panelists will share practical strategies for identifying and engaging partners, co-designing WIL experiences aligned with curriculum and industry needs, and transitioning from one-off placements to long-term, sustainable collaborations. The discussion will also address key challenges—including workload, systems, governance, and scaling WIL across programs—alongside approaches to maintaining quality and ensuring equitable access for diverse student cohorts.
Participants will gain practical insights to strengthen WIL practice and partnerships in their own contexts. The session will conclude with reflections on the future of WIL, including emerging opportunities in virtual and digital models, cross-institutional collaboration, and evolving approaches to partnership in higher education.
