Coastal planning, education and the Australian context

The Victorian Planning Minister&rsquo;s response to the &lsquo;Coastal Climate Change Advisor Report&rsquo;, initiated by the Baillieu government in 2010, identified the need to &ldquo;initiate ! a skills audit with the view to developing a range of professional development courses to meet the shortfall of professionals with the capability to assess coastal climate change impacts&rdquo; (Victoria 2012). The following paper addresses this deficiency by examining how Australia&rsquo;s higher education and further education sectors currently attend to the issue of coastal planning.A detailed review of a large number of national and international planning programs was undertaken to highlight the subject matter contained in each program with a specific focus on any coastal planning courses. Working from a theoretical perspective, the first part of the paper addresses why a dedicated subject on Coastal Planning is required in the present Australian planning school syllabus, and how such a program would be positioned within the intent of PIA&rsquo;s Education Policy.Utilising the benefits of Problem Based learning and Student Centred Learning in relating to delivering a Coastal planning course, the second part of the paper provides a theoretical overview of the types of competencies which students may be expected to attain when undertaking such a course. The third part of the paper proposes a series of 12 lectures to underpin a unit titled &ldquo;Coastal Planning: The Australian Context&rdquo; which includes a draft lecture relating to the monitoring of Coastal Erosion in Adelaide.<br /

Survey on remnant data research: the artefacts recovered and the implications in a cyber security conscious world

The prevalence of remnant data in second hand storage media is well documented. Since 2004 there have been ten separate papers released through Edith Cowan University alone. Despite numerous government agencies providing advice on securing personal and corporate information, and news articles highlighting the need for data security, the availability of personal and confidential data on second hand storage devices is continuing, indicating a systemic laissez faire attitude to data security, even in our supposedly cyber security conscious world. The research continues, but there seems to be a lack of correlation of these studies to identify trends or common themes amongst the results. The fact that this type of research continues to be conducted highlights the deficiencies in the methods used to advertise warnings publicised by Government departments and industry experts. Major media organisations seem reluctant to broadcast these warnings, unless there is a bigger story behind the issue. This paper highlights the ongoing issues and provides insight to the factors contributing to this growing trend

Adult education between the wars - the curious case of the Selborne Lecture Bureau

‘Independent’ lecture agencies are an important but neglected element in the history of education. Between 1918 and 1939, the Selborne Lecture Bureau was a significant national provider of adult education in Britain, both in its own right and as a supplier of lecture(r)s to Women’s Institutes and other bodies, and it pioneered the use of films in schools. For a brief period, it was an ‘educational’ vehicle for the Empire Marketing Board with a programme of over 2,400 lectures in 1929. The Bureau originated in the early 20th century split between the conservative (and male) traditions of natural history and the radical (and female) campaigning (anti) plumage movement that produced the RSPB. The inter-War history of the Selborne Lecture Bureau provides a counterpoint to conventional accounts of adult education between the two World Wars, representing an influential ‘third stream’ alongside the ‘liberal tradition’ and growing state and local authority provision
