Dr Elisa Bone awarded 2021 Universitas 21 Fellowship for Academic Staff

Dr Elisa Bone from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education has been awarded this year's Universitas 21 (U21) Fellowship for academic staff.

The U21 Fellowship recognises outstanding teaching performance, provides development opportunities for the recipients, and benefits the University through the advancement of its teaching and learning quality.

The key objective of the Fellowship is to advance the strategic educational priorities of the University while enabling the fellow to develop their expertise, to pass on their learnings, and to strengthen links with other U21 institutions.

Dr Bone is a senior lecturer in Higher Education Curriculum and Assessment – STEM at the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education.

She will be undertaking a project examining the utility and feasibility of collaborative mobile and digital learning ecosystems within tertiary environmental science programs.

The project will strengthen and extend existing collaborative partnerships at three U21 institutions – Hong Kong University, the University of Johannesburg and the University of Maryland – to examine the potential for creating such a learning system in coastal and estuarine ecology.
