    Online orientations can provide university students with helpful introductions to relevant knowledge and skills they will need over the course of their studies. While traditional models of university orientation focus on face-to-face lecture delivery and often depend on individual, time-specified events, the online environment can be used for more interactive and discipline-specific orientation. The adoption of an online orientation approach can further provide students with information accessible in manageable time frames and supportive practical applications. Aligned to research literature, this paper proposes a framework for developing an online orientation program for higher education undergraduate and graduate music students. The framework brings together the design benefits of the online environment in conjunction with literature on effective practices of orientation programs. As such, the framework identifies four components of influence when designing an online orientation: Purpose; Audience; Design construction; and Content topic considerations. Areas for future research are also highlighted.

    John Johnstone, ‘a glorified landscape gardeners’ role in forestry in Australia
    Fahey, G (AHA, 2018)
    The Victorian School of Forestry (VSF) at Creswick offered the first formal Forestry Course in Australia and is the longest continuous course, now a part of the University of Melbourne’s School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences. The origins of the VSF are lost, with a range of individuals identified as founders, most notably the politician A.J. Peacock, whose role is memorialised on a metal plaque installed on the gates of the school in 1952. This paper draws on new evidence to introduce John Johnstone, the Superintendent of State Plantations, who oversaw the State Nursery and Plantation at Creswick, as the person who initiated the scheme and did the work to establish the School at Creswick. We will look at Johnstone, described by one writer as ‘a glorified landscape gardener’, his background and his place in Forestry in Victoria and consider why he was omitted from the historiography of Australian forestry

    Can archives fly? Delivering Australian archives to researchers
    Tonoli, P ; McCarthy, G (VALA, 2018-02-13)
    This paper outlines the rationale and initial development of a service that will allow digital materials held by archives to be delivered, via request through an online form, to researchers anywhere in the world. Rather than attempting to provide access to privacy and rights-compromised materials in an online environment, the delivery of derivative copies of these types of unpublishable materials directly to the researcher, under clearly-articulated conditions, helps deal with a range of onerous technical and administrative issues. The process supports, rather than complicates, researcher information transfer needs while meeting the custodial obligations of the information provider

    Built pedagogy and architectural design in the architecture library of the Melbourne School of Design
    GARDINER, B ; Charing, S ; Mullumby, N ; Kealy, K ; Crawford, R ; Stephan, A (The Architectural Science Association, 2015)
    The Melbourne School of Design (MSD) located at the University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus aspires to be a ‘pedagogical building’, with built-pedagogy a driving aspiration behind its design and construction. This paper reviews one programmatic component of the building, the library, and how notions of built-pedagogy were interpreted by the user-group and the project design and management team in the design of the library as one of the key learning spaces in the building. It investigates the nature of current thinking about tertiary education learning spaces and their design from the perspective of those tasked with delivering the Architecture Building and Planning Library as a response to the understanding of built pedagogy developed by the design team, project managers, and library management. It suggests that the notion of built pedagogy contains multiple interpretations, influenced by current tertiary education shifts towards student-centred pedagogic practice, consideration of campus spaces within their social settings and the facility for buildings to engage as reference exemplars in teaching and learning which is generating opportunities for campus-centred student experience within increasing availability of online and digitally enabled education.
