    The ADA Education Development team, led by Natasha Lukman, are the recipients of an award which recognised the team’s creative and extensive work on hybrid solutions and support for the faculty.  

    In Term 2, 2022, the team began the mammoth task to build a faculty-based framework providing pedagogical support to their academics delivering courses in hybrid. In addition, the team collaborated with other faculties including Science, Business and Engineering, to source designs and develop bespoke hybrid technology solutions, such as portable hybrid technology kits, for their academics to use in design studios, labs, and other makerspaces.

    "This team has been at the heart of enabling flexible delivery modes throughout the pandemic and have gone above and beyond to create accessible, responsive, and tailored solutions for staff and students," reads the official statement. The award also acknowledged the team for continually demonstrating creativity and innovation in their own work, as well as inspiring and enabling others to be creative.
