UNIVERSITIES Ideally it works, but too often itâs a disaster As someone who was active in off-campus teaching for some 30 of a 50-year career in higher education, and with awards and media coverage for my innovations, I am nevertheless concerned at proposals such as the use of pre-recorded lectures combined with a weekly or fortnightly seminar. This strategy can work where lecture equivalents are updated, seminar sizes are limited to 30 or so well-prepared students, and they take place in purpose-designed classrooms with movable seating to allow for break-out groups. ....

HIGHER EDUCATION The nex generation of scientists is being robbed As a graduate student of a beloved Melbourne University chemistry professor made redundant as a result of the universityâs pandemic âreset planâ (âUni set to slash subjects and jobsâ, The Age, 3/4), the news has been shattering. Morale among fellow chemistry students has plummeted as the future of scientific research in Australia grows bleaker by the day. ....
AFR hit job on Samantha Maiden backfires spectacularly Amanda Meade When the Australian Financial Review and senior reporter Aaron Patrick set their sights on Samantha Maiden for what is known in journalism as a “hit job”, one could have been excused for expecting it would do the seasoned reporter some damage. Dig up her work history, delve into her childhood, fling around words like “challenging”, “spiky” and “difficult” and the reporter who revealed allegations that Brittany Higgins had been raped in Parliament House might be cowed. What the editor-in-chief, Michael Stutchbury, and Patrick didn’t foresee was that what many believed amounted to the bullying of a top female journalist, who has led the coverage of harassment and sexual violence against women in politics, would backfire so spectacularly. ....
iTWire Author s Opinion The views in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of iTWire. Have your say and comment below. Thursday, 01 April 2021 21:54 Time for some sober reporting on the Nine network attack Featured Nine Entertainment is maintaining a no-official-comment policy on the breach of its Sydney network that came to light on 28 March, but the company appears to have no objection to its staff making the wildest of claims about the incident. Two of Nine s staff put out a podcast on 30 March in which some pretty crazy claims were made, illustrating the fact that the company, as is common with many big fish in small ponds, has a highly inflated sense of its own importance. ....

THE ENVIRONMENT The deadly devastation of global warming The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s global warning canary in the coal mine, and it is dying (The Age, 1/4). Action needed to be taken decades ago and the Coalition has resisted every step of the way. From destroying the Labor government’s attempts to introduce a carbon price, which will now be imposed on us by our trading nations, as Jessica Irvine says (Opinion, 1/4), to encouraging new coal mines and a gas-led recovery, the government has failed Australians. It trumpets the spending of billions of dollars on submarines and missiles “to keep Australians safe” but re ....
