The 21C Project

Creating Community Wellbeing Module

Creating Community Wellbeing Module

The module is free for students and available throughout their studies.

The 21C Project (commenced in 2017) has always been explicitly student-centred - comprising a range of interlinking strategies intended to develop the transdisciplinary ‘hybrid’ capabilities that today’s students need to forge a successful future for themselves and their communities.

The work has been based on creating the policy framework to enable flexible program architecture, promoting innovative partnership pedagogy and providing an environment for building staff capabilities.  In 2020, the 21C Project was pivoted in response to COVID-19 to deliver the necessary support for the rapid transition to online teaching and learning.

From March 2021, the re-imagined 21C Project was augmented and realigned to meet the opportunities and challenges presented by the Job Ready Graduates Package and the Post COVID higher education context. The three streams of the 21C Project became:

  • Transforming Curriculum
  • Transforming Teaching
  • Innovating Alternative Credentials (iAC)

During 2022, the work of these three streams will be transitioned into business as usual.

21C has worked to ensure the future resilience and reputation of the University and contribute to the goals and principles of Sustaining Success.

21C Transforming Curriculum

Staff working

21C Curriculum seeks to equip graduates with the transdisciplinary ‘hybrid’ capabilities needed for their success in a disrupted future of work and society.

21C Transforming Teaching

This stream aims to develop a fit-for-purpose academic workforce that is resilient and promotes innovation through a centre for teaching excellence – ‘Badugulang’ a place to share ideas, nurture excellence and celebrate teaching.

21C iAC

The aim of the Innovating Alternative Credentials (iAC) stream of work in the 21C Project is to develop and deploy new non-award product, for new students, in new markets.
