The symposium, which is being held at the DUT Ritson Campus, ends on Friday, 30 October 2015.
The aim of the symposium is to share critical reflections on learning, teaching and assessment practices and debate key educational issues impacting on student success. The focus is on transformative practices that lead to students successfully graduating with attributes that are personally, professionally and socially valuable. This symposium provides an opportunity to explore – from a critical perspective – contemporary approaches.

Professor Karl Maton, who is a Professor in Sociology at the University of Sydney in Australia, was the keynote speaker at today’s event. Prof Maton is a creator of Legitimation Code Theory (LCT), which now being widely used by researchers in Australia, Europe and South Africa for both research and shaping practice. Prof Maton also introduced conceptual framework that both addresses the difference among knowledge practices and offers a means for relating theory to practice.
