Current Institution: Charles Darwin University
Fellowship: ALTC National Teaching Fellowship at Charles Darwin University
Fellowship Duration: 2008 - 2009
Indigenous elders from remote communities have had little opportunity to contribute actively to academic teaching in Australian universities, yet there is widespread and increasing acknowledgement of the potential of Indigenous knowledge to enhance our understanding of the environment and ecological systems, of linguistic and biological diversity, culture, history, philosophy, art, health and much more.
This Fellowship will bring together:
� international experts in the use of digital technologies for knowledge work and e-teaching
� Aboriginal knowledge authorities who have experience as university teachers or researchers
� Aboriginal knowledge authorities with expertise in digital technology and multimedia
� university teachers and students in Indigenous studies including art, language and culture.
The collaboration will develop, implement, evaluate and report upon systems for the properly supervised inclusion and active participation of Indigenous knowledge holders living ‘on country’, in Australian university academic courses, through the use of emerging digital technologies.
Disciplines: Indigenous Studies, Remote, Teaching with digital technologies
