The Centre for Applied Research and Innovation has released its biennial snapshot of Holmesglen’s research programmes.

The Holmesglen Research 2022 report recognises the individual and combined research and professional development achievements of our faculties, entrepreneurial business units and the Centre.

The digital report provides an overview of our research projects, our research engagement with community and industry, and the development of our research capability.

Applied research and innovation is a key plank of our 2021-2023 Strategic Plan, represented in three priorities:

2.6 – Support and nurture innovation through research, development, collaboration and teamwork
4.2 – Enhance commercial, educational and applied research outcomes
4.3 - Increase our impact with enhanced, industry-led research and innovation.

Recognition of our COIL applied research (Collaborative Online International Learning Project) continues to grow, with the team’s work acknowledged last week at major showcase in Melbourne.

COIL involves new collaborative workspaces, mentoring programs and peer learning experiences with overseas students. It has broken new ground in nursing education, research and innovation.

Health Workforce and Simulation Clinical Chair, Debra Kiegaldie (left) accepted an award from Study Melbourne Director, Fiona Letos (right) on the team’s behalf at the Veski-Study Melbourne Research Partnerships Showcase.

Holmesglen Institute and Canada’s Northwestern Polytechnic partnered on COIL with support from Study Melbourne Research Partnerships, delivered by the Victorian Government-sponsored innovation incubator, veski.

COIL was among 15 projects recognised and one of the few undertaken by a TAFE, which generated further interest. Deb was invited to share her insights on a showcase panel discussion and attend a networking reception hosted by the Embassy of Switzerland.

Watch the showcase video:

The Building 4.0 CRC Annual Showcase profiled some current and completed projects. Profiling of topics such as:

  •  Using augmented and virtual reality technologies for vocational education and training
  •  Developing new integrated wall systems
  •  Designing prefabricated housing solutions for areas affected by bushfires and other natural disasters.

Dr Ross Digby delivered a partner presentation: ‘Holmesglen – Strategy for Skills & Training’ World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics: ARRIVET Magazine: Applied Research Results in Vocational Education & Training

ARRIVET is an international, interdisciplinary publication dedicated to the documentation and dissemination of applied research results. Its focus is on the application of research to the solution of business and industry problems, and the use of applied research in vocational learning and teaching. Its audience includes those who are interested in solving practical research problems of business and industry, with particular focus on those committed to the dialogue between production and instruction, the professional and the vocational.

ARRIVET is launching in 2023 and will publish papers from applied research practitioners around the world. Initially there will be one publication annually, in an electronic format, online, and open source.

ARRiVET is inviting researchers, academics, professionals, practitioners, and postgraduate students to submit original articles in the broad area of applied research for vocational education and training. We welcome articles in the following categories:

  •  Research Results – applied research findings from projects undertaken by VETs, five to ten pages.
  •  Research Practices – applied research approaches leading to results and principles, three to five pages.
  •  Research in Context – geographies of applied research and their results, five to ten pages.
  •  Training for Research – activities in preparation for applied research and its results, three to five pages.
  •  Training for Vocations – the “applied research/training for vocation nexus” including applied research in pedagogy, building teacher capacity, learning development, and building student capacity, five to ten pages.

    Submission must be online through the ARRiVET webpage.

OctoberVET at Holmesglen: part of our research landscape

OctoberVET is an important opportunity for Holmesglen researchers, industry, research-based organisations and other TAFE’s to share research, contribute to the improvement of teaching and learning and provide the groundwork for further research and innovation.

Conducting applied research: an invitation to researchers in TAFE

The 2022 OctoberVET provided a programme of presentations and workshops focussing on issues related to the conduct of applied research. Designed for researchers currently engaged in applied research or who are thinking about doing research for the first time, the conference focused on practical issues related to applied research.

Presentations included:

  • What is applied research? (Dr Henry Pook, Andrew Williamson).
  • Developing a research proposal? (Professor Debra Kiegaldie and Dr Louise Shaw).
  • What is the purpose of a literature review/scoping exercise, and what tools and resources are available to help me? (Dr Louise Shaw, Dr Yvonne Hamey).
  • Working with industry and research-based organisations on research projects? What projects are underway in health and building construction? Professor Debra Kiegaldie and Dr Ross Digby)
  • Presenting at a conference and/or having my work published: what do I need to know?(Dr Sam Duncan).
  • The research journey: experiences of an early-career researcher. (Warren Guest)

This conference was based on investigations of real-life problems that are of benefit to both industry and TAFE and explored the possibilities and dimensions for future applied research: in particular, the ways in which research and innovation may be channelled into knowledge sharing and technology transfer in collaboration with industry and community, and in the design and delivery of education and training programmes to meet future skills needs.

This virtual conference drew upon the theme of applied research in TAFE during a time of pandemic and reinforced the importance of industry partnerships. Speakers emphasised the view that TAFE has the capacity to play a significant role in the development of industry supported innovation and meeting future skills needs: rather than seeing the pandemic as an impediment to change, TAFEs could embrace these new challenges and opportunities by capitalising upon the possibilities presented by new technologies and increased digitalisation across many industry sectors.

The conference showcased a range of research projects and applied research partnerships between TAFE and organisations such as EastLink and the Royal Children’s Hospital; research snapshots from leading applied researchers, demonstrations of new technologies such as virtual reality and their application to education and training demonstrated the TAFE’s potential contribution to the development of industry and ‘cutting edge’ training programmes.
