Associate Professor Gordon Waitt in Human Geography asserts:

I think the link is really important in terms of educating students, as it provides a mechanism, not only for the top performing students but for all students to be actively engaging in research activities. Both teaching and research are learning activities. However, in terms of many academics’ thinking about their responsibilities, some have separated out their teaching from their research responsibilities over the last 10 years, instead of thinking about both as a learning activity.

In terms of exploiting the link I think it is really important to be designing subjects and thinking carefully about the course context as the link itself won’t magically materialise without the educator actively thinking about the course design and subject content.
