- Full Text: false
- Description: A research study was conducted at Monash University in December 2013 to measure eye-tracking participant presented visual images of water quality signs. The method relied on the assumption that eye-fixation indicated attention and cognition resulting in behaviour change. The study procedure first presented 16 visual images of water quality signs located in beach environments varied by distance from observer, sign type and level of distraction. This was followed by 18 images of water quality signs varied by text messages and water quality ratings. The study was supported by a range of self-reported data from the 30 participants.
Australian International Graduates and the transition to employment: Final report

- Full Text: false
- Description: Today’s generation of international students face a myriad of options when selecting a study destination. Key host countries such as the USA, UK and Australia now compete with a growing number of exporting nations, as many traditional source countries now move to attract international students to their own shores. Importantly, domestic provision has improved dramatically in many emerging economies due to increased investment in higher education and the presence of transnational programs that enable students to study for an overseas qualification without leaving home. The arrival of MOOCS1 and other forms of online education and credentialing are also leading to expanding choices for the growing number of higher education students globally. While international students face greater choice, they must also contend with new challenges. The growth in knowledge economies has led to changing skill and knowledge requirements while the massification of higher education has resulted in an expanding supply of tertiary educated graduates entering the workplace. For employers, globalisation has resulted in greater international competition, off-shoring and less certainty regarding their future labour requirements (Brown, Lauder, & Ashton, 2010). For graduates, this translates into heightened competition for entry level positions, far less certainty surrounding post-study employment prospects and the growing need to ‘stand out’ in a crowded graduate labour market. Consequently, international students face tougher competition in the post-study labour market both in the host and home country. The overall aim of this study was to investigate issues around the employment of international graduates from Australian universities into professions with skill shortages. A key challenge for the research team was negotiating a shifting policy landscape as Australia’s skilled migration program shifted from a supply side to a demand driven system. Changes to Australia’s skilled migration policy sought to remove any perceived link between education and migration. The focus shifted to attracting international students to Australia by offering a high quality higher education experience rather than future employment (Gribble & Blackmore, 2012). For many international graduates, the shift in policy meant finding alternate pathways to achieving long term residency in Australia. Despite the tightening of rules surrounding post-study migration, the study found that international students continue to place high value on remaining in Australia after graduation. For some, the goal is to remain permanently in Australia, while others hope to stay temporarily to gain work experience in their area of qualification. "From the executive study"
Visualising Victoria’s Groundwater

- Description: Visualising Victoria’s Groundwater (VVG) is an interoperative web-GIS maintained by Federation University Australia that federates groundwater data from disparate sources to assist groundwater researchers and help water managers make the correct choices for the sustainable use of a precious resource. The Visualising Victoria's Groundwater web-portal currently displays data for all of Victoria from the following sources: • Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) • Water Measurement Information System (WMIS) - formerly GMS • Victorian Aquifer Framework (VAF) • Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (EcoDev) • Seamless Geology • Geological Exploration and Development Information System (GEDIS) • Salinity bore database from Future Farming Systems Research (FFSR) • Federation University Australia (FedUni) • Groundwater research bores and other bores not recorded elsewhere (UB Spatial/FedUni Spatial) • Victorian Mineral Water Committee (VMWC) • Victorian Mineral Springs database (VMSD) • Environmental Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) • Certificates and statements of environmental audit (EPA audit reports) • Groundwater quality restricted use zones (GQRUZs) in Victoria • Priority Sites Register (PSR) for Victoria The quality of the bore data varies greatly. Note that bore records may be duplicated in the databases or between the databases, the locations may be wrong, data may be missing and sometimes data may be wrong. For this reason, the emphasis in the data collection has been to refer each record to its original source and link to the original source material where available. Over time it is proposed to edit each individual bore in the database to verify and clean the data where possible. As a general rule, bores in the State Observation Bore network (SOBN) within the WMIS, groundwater research bores managed by the University and the Mineral Springs have the most complete and accurate data. Key features of the VVG portal are:
Lower Jinsha Valley bird study

- Description: This study represents a systematic bird survey in part of the Lower Jinsha Valley, in Western China. The intention of the study is to document the bird fauna of the area before it undergoes significant environmental transformation. The study area will be affected by the construction of a series of large hydropower dams along the Jinsha (Yangtze) River. Flooding of the valleys in this area will be to an elevation of 825m and will result in the inundation of substantial areas of farmland and much of the current sparse and poor quality forest habitat in Ningnan County (Sichuan Province) and Qiaojia County (Yunnan Province). Bird searches were conducted at 15 locations (5 in forest, 5 in farmland, 5 in Leucaena plantation) during two survey periods: Winter 2012: Nov-Dec 2012 (six field days: 30/11 – 7/12) (survey period 3) Summer 2013 June 2013 (seven field days 6/6 – 12/6) (survey period 4) Two visits were made to each location during each study period. One visit occurred during the morning and involved a timed transect search plus a list building search. The other visit occurred during the afternoon and involved a list building search only. The timed transect search involved noting birds seen along the 100m transect during a 20min search period. No recorded calls were used to attract birds during the timed transect search, which always occurred prior to the list building search. List building searches were conducted in the interests of maximizing the opportunity to identify species present at each location. Each list building search involved an initial broadcast playback of the call of Collared Owlet (Glaucidium brodiei) followed by identification of birds seen or heard, including birds responding to the call of the owlet. Collared Owlet is a small owl, which sometimes hunts diurnally. It is commonly mobbed by small songbirds (Mackinnon and Phillips, 2010). Where necessary, previously recorded calls of particular bird species were used to encourage birds to respond and therefore confirm identification. In some cases, calling birds were recorded in situ and these calls were immediately played back in order to encourage a response and allow visual identification. All birds clearly identified visually or by their call were recorded, including birds of prey seen flying overhead or in nearby valleys. Birds seen on roadsides during transit between locations were noted separately and are included in the bird list for the survey period, but not included in analyses. The visualisation of the survey data is part of an interoperable web-GIS maintained by the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation(CeRDI) at Federation University Australia (FedUni).

- Description: The cover picture is the front of the program of the 2008 of the Story of Buninyong. It encapsulates the program that Buninyong Primary School has developed in its engagement with a larger and more complex history of the school and its positions in the physical and historical landscaper than European versions of Australian history allow. In this report, I have explored some of that complexity. "From introduction"
