Overview
Background
Associate Professor Christine Slade PhD GCProfLearning BA (Com Plan & Devt) PFHEA ATCL
Assessment and Academic Integrity
In my role as Associate Professor in Higher Education, in the Institute for Teaching and Learning Innovation (ITaLI) I contribute to the UQ strategic priorities, with leadership responsibilities in assessment, academic integrity and generative artificial intelligence. In 2023 I received an Australian Award for University Teaching Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning for my academic integrity work. In August 2023, I was an invited assessment expert at the TEQSA commissed Assessment Reform in the Age of Artificial Intelligence Forum which developed principles and propositions to support the sector. I also was an expert advisor of the development of the Australian Framework for Generative Artificial Intelligence in Schools.
Digital Ethics
Engaging in technology is part of everyday life, more so since COVID-19. I advocate for the inclusion of digital aspects in curricula and support educators and students in building their digital capabilities for learning and professionals in the workplace. Since 2012 I have advanced folio pedagogies to facilitate students using ePortfolios to demonstrate learning over time, reflect on their developing practices, and to showcase their digital brand to wider audiences. Important aspects of these practices is understanding and applying digital ethics and eProfessionalism principles when engaging online. Therefore, I am a member of the international Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-based Learning (AAEEBL) Taskforce on Digital Ethics and ePortfolios which has produced guiding ethical principles, strategies and scenarios for institutions, educators, administrators and students. I also partnered with the UQ Library to develop a new eProfessionalism digital essentials module for educators and students to use when building their online presence. I have a particular interest in Digital Healthcare and work with international academics and industry representatives to advance student preparation for clinical placements and future work.
Research Interests
My research and teaching interests include innovative pedagogies, assessment, academic integrity, digital curriculum, ePortfolios and ethics. I have written a suite of journal articles and other publications, and presented at national and international conferences about my research and practice (see the 'Publications' tab above).
