Chris Poole's phd project aims to create an ultrasound image-guided radiotherapy system utilising robot-manipulated 4D ultrasound to dynamically track a moving tumour volume in real-time during therapy. The research has the potential to improve patient outcome by better targeting the tumour and reducing the radiation dose delivered to surrounding healthy tissues. Chris is a phd student in the School of Chemical Sciences at QUT.

The ability to accurately cite and reference sources is a critical academic skill. Ideally, it is a skill that students should develop early in their university careers. Dr Becker used safeassign in her core business unit to help students identify referencing issues in their own work. safeassign is delivered via Blackboard and works by comparing the students' submission with internet resources, journal databases, and a global pool of student work.

Our students make decisions all the time. But in business, there's a need to justify decisions and make the process transparent. Case studies provide the content and context for both creative problem solving and decision-making. Amisha focuses on building skills in risk and criteria-based decision-making frameworks.

Associate Professor Russell-Bennett introduced qutopia to create a real-world marketing experience for her students in AMB240. The students create a product (or rebrand an existing product), develop a marketing plan and sell the product at the qutopia market day. The enthusiasm of the students shines through at market day and their feedback on the experience is positive despite the extra workload involved.

Dr Luck began recording her lectures in response to student demands for more flexible study options and requests from international students to review lecture content. After several semesters, Dr Luck has found other benefits to recorded lectures such as a reduction in questions from students and an opportunity to reflect on and improve her lecture techniques.

As the Faculty of Business WIL Project Representative, Ms Larkin challenges us to think about work integrated learning not just as work experience but as a continuum of strategies and interventions that can bring the real world into the classroom. And a further important added benefit of integrating WIL in your units is that it can help to strengthen the Faculty's links with industry.
