Campus KNoT

About Campus KNoTs.

Campus KNOTs are a way to explore learning opportunities that are running on Campus.

There are many great places where learning happens outside of formal classes, including faculty seminars, public lectures, student life activities, exhibitions, and tours.

The rules for counting Campus KNoTs are:

• the intended content must align to your learning goals for the course
• a maximum of 2 Campus KNoTs can be counted towards the course
• a single activity can count as a maximum of 2 Campus KNoTs (for example, a one-day workshop and a week-long workshop would both count as a maximum of 2 Campus KNoTs)
• you can piece together many smaller activities to meet the 3-hours of participation needed for a KNoT (for example, 3 x 1-hour seminars could be added together)

The preparation for your Campus KNoT will be different, depending on what it is.

The suggested preparation is to "do your research" into the activity/event. For example, if you are going to see a guest speaker present, do a little background research, such as spending some time reading their latest work, finding out about them (ie wikipedia, etc), or listening to an interview with them.

The Campus KNoT must be able to be mapped to a course learning outcome:

• compare, contrast and apply concepts, arguments and evidence to transdisciplinary problems across scales;
• model the qualities and approaches that support inclusive collaboration for social engagement across difference;
• assess relationships and contextual dynamics to influence change across fields, disciplines and/or knowledge systems

Some places you can find out what's going on on Campus:

You can also run your own Campus KNoT. If you do, make sure that you get pre-approval to count it towards your Campus KNoTs, and include the preparation and reflect on the experience for your completion task.

The default completion task for a Campus KNOT is a short reflection.

This should be the equivalent of 1 page, and can include pictures (such as a photo of you attending, or a picture of an important slide).

We encourage you to reflect on the skill or knowledge that you developed through the activity, particularly how it might be useful or not in your creating social change repertoire.

A great prompt to reflect on is a question that you asked the presenter, or would have asked the presenter if there was time.
