Acting as one: understanding the actions of the banned Essendon 34
No full textOpen access.In January 2016, 34 past and present players from the Essendon Football Club were found guilty of being injected with banned peptide, Thymosin Beta 4, while participating in Essendon’s supplements programme in 2011 and 2012. The release of the Court of Arbitration of Sport’s (CAS) summary of findings raised questions about the actions and intent of the participating players. In particular, the CAS highlighted concerns that the players showed a lack of due diligence and curiosity and acted in a secretive nature. This article seeks to provide a means of understanding the actions of the 34 Essendon players who willingly participated in Essendon Football Club’s supplements programme by viewing them as active participants of a community. In doing so it becomes clear that the actions of the Essendon 34 were not unusual, but that a cultural shift within Australian Football League clubs may be needed to ensure a crisis like it never occurs again.Sports Media and Sport Business DegreesHolmesglen Institut

The transformation of Australian football: the impact of business on the sport field

This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of Open Access.This article interprets the Australian Football League's (AFL) transformation from a game to an entertainment business through the concepts of Pierre Bourdieu. The transformation of sport, as illustrated in Australia, highlights how communities are being undermined by the agenda of global neoliberalism to transform all relations into commercial relations. Bourdieu’s concepts of field, capital and habitus enable us to understand how the sport field has merged with the economic and media fields and how the dominant, neoliberal, business characteristics of the sport field influence the way those participating in the field act, make decisions and prioritise. Likewise, we can interpret how the actions of the field’s participants reinforce the dominant characteristics of the field. In practical terms, using the AFL as a case study, the analysis highlights how neoliberal, business ideals characterise the sport field and how the relationships and actions of the field's participants reflect this. Importantly, this article draws on insights from the fans who provide their thoughts on the changing face of the AFL, and in particular, the increased role of the media and economic fields in the sport field.Sports Media and Sport Business DegreesHolmesglen Institut
Students as co-creators of course content: engaging or endangering?
Get PDFThis material is provided under a Creative Commons licence.‘Students as co-creators of course content: Engaging or endangering?’ explores an existing course offering at Holmesglen Institute that allows undergraduate students to create course content alongside the teacher, in real time. It considers how such an approach heightens the level of student engagement and critical thinking.
The use of current learning technologies in facilitating this model are discussed, as well as, the importance of clear design principles to ensure learning outcomes are achieved.
This presentation explores the benefits of embracing a more inclusive and responsive approach to learning and how it might fit with changing student behaviours and approaches to study.
Alongside that though, careful consideration is given to the possible challenges. Student apathy and unpreparedness are pivotal points of discussion. What lessons have been learnt to ensure that students understand their role as co-creators and take full advantage of it?
Finally, the role of the teaching staff is explored, with discussion focusing on the balance between flexibility and structure, and what personal and professional qualities are required to truly engage students as co-creators of course content.
The presentation focuses on an existing course offering within the Bachelor of Hospitality Management at Holmesglen Institute. The concept currently sees weekly course content developed in part by the teacher and in part by the students, in real time. The aim of this approach is not only to enhance the level of student engagement, but to heighten critical thinking and to validate learning.Bachelor of Hospitality ManagementHolmesglen InstituteTEQSA Conference 2017Melbourne, Victori
