Cath Milne has been appointed to the position of Project Officer Tertiary Literacies for a limited term of three years and will commence duties on December 9th, 1997.
"My name is Cath Milne and I am currently working as a Project Officer within the Office of Teaching and Learning at Curtin University. I also work as a sessional lecturer and tutor. I came to Curtin in 1994 as a doctoral student. Prior to this, I had been working in Darwin. Studying at Curtin gave me the opportunity to be involved in a range of activities including the project on dissemination of good teaching and learning practice at Curtin University. My role in this project is to collect, evaluate and disseminate examples of good practice in areas such as teaching, learning, curriculum design, assessment and evaluation. I have been involved meeting and talking with staff to develop case studies. These case studies align with the objectives of Curtin's Teaching and Learning Plan. So far, I have written case studies in areas such as the teaching of generic skills, assisting students to become independent learners, clinical supervision and cross-cultural education. These examples will be placed on the World Wide Web so that they are accessible by staff and students. I am excited by the prospect of working as a Project Officer at the University of Wollongong. I see that there might be some similarities between the project in which I am currently involved, and the Project that I will be involved with at the University of Wollongong. My other interests are keeping fit and reading. Is Wollongong close to the slopes? I'd love to learn to ski."
