Abstract
Teaching in universities can be a solitary pursuit, with academics designing and
delivering learning and teaching experiences, and even units, in relative isolation.
Even course design can involve only a small, discipline-specific team that rarely
extends to colleagues outside their specialisation. The challenges and possibilities
provided by introduction of work integrated learning (WIL) to universities offer
an unprecedented opportunity for staff to share knowledge and experience across
disciplines to enhance student learning. This paper focuses on an opportunity for
such cross-discipline collaboration on the issues of WIL through a roundtable
event at the University of Tasmania. The roundtable allowed staff from across the
institution to share successes, challenges and resources and then to make
recommendations to address identified issues.
