Auckland University of Technology (AUT), Lincoln University and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi share how they are building learner success into the culture and operations of their organisations.
The three organisations presented their approaches to building a culture of learner success at the Community of Practice session on 30 November 2024. People, culture and leadership is a key capability that a tertiary education provider needs to get right to enable learners to succeed.
We are pleased to share recordings of their presentations.
AUT – Felicity Reid, Joanna Scarbrough and Katy Thomas talk about creating the right environment for change across Ki Uta Ki Tai (their Learner Success Plan) and other strategic change projects. In their presentation they discuss the formation of cross-functional teams and working groups, along with creating processes to enhance interconnected decision-making and prioritisation, storytelling, data and insights.
Lincoln University – Tracy-Anne De Silva discusses their Manaaki Tauira Course Enhancements Programme. Their presentation focuses on engaging staff in the development of the programme, which they applied to several of their qualifications. The programme supports their learner success work and contributes to their culture of continuous improvement.
Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi – Kuao Wawatai (Ngāti Porou, Te Whānau a Apanui) talks about closing the leaks in the tauira learning pipeline. The presentation focuses on the ecological approach the wānanga takes to learning and how everyone who works at the organisation contributes to tauira success. Kuao shares how they use data and tauira voice to build understanding of the importance of putting tauira at the heart of their organisation.
