Object Based Learning Program
The CCWM was strategically designed with interdisciplinarity at its core. Its centralised position within the university structure and the diversity of its collections allows the OBL program to enrich the academic environment of all students regardless of their area of study, and to act as a hub of productive interdisciplinary connections for staff and students. The OBL program’s success is due to the fact that each class is bespoke to meet specific learning outcomes, with carefully curated objects and purposefully designed active and autonomous learning activities to develop key skills. They are delivered by the OBL curators, co-facilitated with the lecturer or by the lecturer with a collaborative design.
