Our staff and students have faced the usual challenges of academic life, but with the additional pressures associated with the Covid pandemic throughout the year, that has impacted everyone’s lives in so many ways.  \nOur undergraduate students have done a great job in successfully completing the year despite the many added demands posed by the pandemic. Online learning can only partially replace the rich experiences of face-to-face learning and the daily interactions with fellow students and teaching staff. Clinical training also created many challenges for our students, particularly, with the uncertainties associated with clinical  \nplacements. A special thanks to our clinic coordinator Daniel Vu, the sessional clinical teaching staff, academic staff, and the clinical placement providers (WILS) who worked so tirelessly to ensure that our students met their course requirements.  \nThe PhD and MPhil students have also had to struggle with limitations imposed by the pandemic. Their ability to conduct clinical research has been restricted and they have been unable to showcase their excellent research at conferences. I know that the hardest challenge for many of them has been the inability to travel and see their family and friends, both interstate and overseas. You all deserve our greatest respect foryour achievements this year.  \nOur Head of School, Professor Sharon Bentley was promoted to Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Health in early 2021. Sharon was highly respected by the staff and students of the school for her leadership and integrity and the kindness and respect she always gave to her staff and students. We were proud to see her abilities recognised with this promotion. While we were sorry to lose her from the Head of School role, she still retains strong links to the school through her position as Director of the Centre for Vision and Eye  \nResearch (CVER) . Sharon embodied the values of the school: to act with kindness and integrity, to embrace collaboration, to foster curiosity and creativity and to strive for excellence.  \nOur academic and professional staff have been impressive in their efforts to ensure the delivery of a high-quality teaching program throughout the year.  \nThis has involved the development of numerous new blended and online learning approaches for teaching to maintain student engagement and provide the best learning oppor","cbCaileauEWP72py","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaileauEWP72py","pdf",2983645,"English","# Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners\n# Message from Head of School\n# Academic, Professional & Clinic Staff\n# Teaching and Learning Highlights\n# Graduates\n# Master of Optometry Student Research Projects\n# Student Awards\n# Student Clinic Highlights\n# Awards, Promotions and Recognition\n# Centre for Vision and Eye Research\n# Research Highlights\n# Grants\n# Peer-Reviewed Articles in Scholarly Journals\n# Books and Book Chapters\n# Presentations at Conferences\n# Higher Degree Research Completions\n# Current Higher Degree Research\n# Supporters","[{\"question\":\"What challenges did the school face in 2021?\",\"answer\":\"The report describes academic and research disruption due to Covid, including limitations on clinical placements and restrictions on clinical research and conference participation.\"},{\"question\":\"What teaching and learning initiatives were highlighted?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights the development of blended and online learning approaches to maintain student engagement and support high-quality learning during the year.\"},{\"question\":\"Which research activities and outputs were reported?\",\"answer\":\"The report summarizes grants, peer-reviewed journal articles, books and book chapters, conference presentations, and higher degree research completions and current higher degree research.\"}]","QUT School of Optometry and Vision Science - Annual Report 2021 | PDF",202]
