Abstract | Diversity among learners has always been a factor that university teachers should take into account when designing or delivering subject matter. 'Massification' of university education seems to have brought diversity into focus in Australia during the last two decades, perhaps more acutely in the post-Dawkins universities. In this chapter, some design and delivery strategies are outlined and preliminary assessments of their effectiveness are made. The strategies focus upon the feasible implementation of sound pedagogical and andragogical principles. There is no intention to attempt to prescribe best practice. The authors have not implemented identical strategies in their respective subjects, but they have a common objective: to improve learning and assessment outcomes by recognising the different learning needs of different students. |
