Diagnosis: a Medical Education Game is an immersive serious game, where players navigate the hospital gathering crucial clinical information to successfully diagnose and hand over a patient. Diagnosis eases the transition from campus-based to placement-based learning, introducing productive failure opportunities in a low-stakes setting. Diagnosis also highlights the importance of managing resources and prioritising differentials, offering opportunities to reflect on multiple elements of the clinical reasoning process, supporting the development of adaptive expertise.

As you progress, you will interview and examine your patient, order tests and imaging scans. Use your judgement wisely, or you will run out of money before reaching a diagnosis. If you miss something, your patient’s condition may deteriorate, so be as thorough as you can! Collaborate with teammates, and challenge your knowledge on your way to solving medical mysteries. But beware of the ‘Spooky Consultant’ lurking around the corners, adding an extra layer of suspense and thrill. Bring out your inner doctor, hone your diagnostic skills, and experience the pulse-pounding excitement of healthcare education like never before!

Open Education Down UndOER: Australasian Case Studies is a curated, peer-reviewed, openly-licensed anthology comprising scholarly contributions from esteemed professionals including librarians, researchers, learning and teaching teams, and engaged open education practitioners across Australia. Future editions will seek to extend this coverage to Aotearoa New Zealand, and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

The primary aim of this initiative is to illuminate the pivotal role of open educational practices (OEP) in the advancement of learning and teaching methodologies in the region. By showcasing diverse case studies, our goal is to foster greater awareness and appreciation for open practices, champion inclusivity and equity within educational spheres, and provide practical examples of open educational practices which can be adapted by readers for use in their own contexts.

Modern Biomedicine is evidence-based, which means it is underpinned by quantitative data. Recent technological advances have led to Biomedicine (and Biology in general) becoming more “data driven” and hence more quantitative and predictive. Hence, now more than ever, an understanding of quantitative data is crucial for students of Biomedical disciplines.

Foundations of Biomedical Science: Quantitative Literacy Theory and Problems is designed to help students develop the fundamental mathematical and quantitative literacy required to navigate and interpret evidence-based Biomedical data. This ebook is divided into short chapters, each containing a concise summary of:

• theory provided through a Biomedical context
• authentic worked examples, problem sets and solutions
• further extension and application of the theory.

These chapters build to provide students with the skills and confidence to habitually question any quantitative data they come across and to use these skills to make informed judgements regarding their veracity.

This book follows on from the work by Kutay, C., Leigh, E., Prpic, K., Ormond-Parker, L (Eds) (2022). Indigenous Engineering for an Enduring Culture. Cambridge Scholars Publishing https://www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-1-5275-8759-5 to provide more of a focus on authentic assessment of Indigenous Knowledges in the Engineering curricula in Australia.

We include simulations, reflections, exercises and general material related to disciplines, skills and engineering approaches. This book is an ever expanding repository and we hope others working in this area will share their ideas to be credited in this book.

To request to have further material as chapters or paragraphs incorporated into this book email Dr Cat Kutay at Charles Darwin University.

Over twenty-five years, senior Yolŋu knowledge authorities, elders, and researchers have been sharing traditional concepts in their collaborative work of teaching, research, and monitoring and evaluation in various Indigenous-led initiatives at Charles Darwin University – including through the Yolŋu Studies program and more recently the First Nations Sovereignty and Diplomacy Centre. Now for the first time a selection of the most important of these philosophical statements has been collected into a single volume and made available to students of Indigenous languages and cultures through Australia and New Zealand and the world. The volume will also be of particular interest to Government and Non Government organisations and policy developers.
