Tier 3 Complex negotiations | Course, unit and institutional collaborations Through Course Transformation Pathways and other forms of institutional course prioritisation, we pro-actively work with Faculty, School and Course teams to identify and analyse curriculum resource needs and opportunities at the course level. This includes assessing and advising on opportunities for OER and First Nations content and supporting that transition or opportunity. Through targeted engagement with Faculty, School and Course teams, and through query support and consultation extension, we collaborate with academics to utilise Library archives and special collections resources to support curriculum by creating immersive and hands-on learning experiences that enhance learning outcomes. | Specialised services |
