CAIK Microcredentials

The Centre for the Advancement of Indigenous Knowledges (CAIK) continues forward with microcredentials for Supervising Indigenous Higher Degree Research and Developing Indigenised Curriculum.

Supervising Higher Degree Research
Established to build academic staff capability across the sector, this microcredential is now in its fifth offering and CAIK have supported over 150 participants from across 15 Australian universities.

This course is designed for academics who have little experience with Indigenous research and methodologies but have an interest in supervising higher degree research students - Australian Indigenous and non-Indigenous - who are undertaking Indigenous research.

UTS academics who successfully complete this Microcredential can gain credit in the Graduate Certificate in Higher Education Learning and Teaching. The April session had 41 students enrolled and the September session has 58 enrolments. If you would like more information contact the FASS Short Forms of Learning team or use this link.

Developing Indigenised Curriculum
This new microcredential is part of a suite of short courses offered by CAIK, which are available to UTS academics enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Higher Education Learning and Teaching, as well as to other university staff across the sector.

The microcredential is focused on developing academic skills in locating, implementing and assessing Indigenous curriculum. CAIK staff are seeking case studies of best practice in developing Indigenous curriculum from across the University. Please contact Anne Maree Payne if you would like to offer a case study for inclusion in the course.

The microcredential will be offered for the first time in July 2023.
