On 25th June 2021, Hardik Vachharajani conducted seminar on Bloom’s taxonomy and constructive alignment, its applications and challenges with fellow teaching and learning leaders from India. More than 40 academics from around India participated in this seminar.

Dr Hardik Vachharajani, Associate Dean, New South Wales, Australia led this informative virtual session that centred around Bloom’s Taxonomy, Verbs, Constructive Alignment, Examples and Mapping which culminated with a discussion. Dr Hardik expertly explained Bloom’s Taxonomy’s pyramid which was very important to comprehend for conceptual as well as critical teaching to occur. The lowest being the role-play of memory and the highest creativity.

What are the key industry and institutional challenges facing higher education providers? What should be the difference in pedagogical approach when moving online from face to face delivery?

I answered these and other questions during Faculty Development Program for full time and industry academic staff of Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies, Pune.

Full video recording available below.

In an increasingly intolerant world, academics and universities are playing ever important role in generating and disseminating diverse ideas. Forward looking societies and institutions have responsibility to protect this academic freedom.

As a higher education leader, my learning from this course offered by University of Oslo (UiO) and Scholars at Risk was simple but significant; how can I promote and defend academic freedom on my campus.!

On 20 October 2019, I interacted with start up entrepreneurs at WeWork Sydney.

My message, stay focused on fundamentals. That is product, customer and value creation.! Learn from the waves and return to the base. I also emphasised on the role of universities in creating start up culture.

Thanks eChai.Network for organising the meet up. Great catching up with fellow panelists Edward Zia and Ritesh Garg. Good on you, Shaili Patel for event management and moderation!

I have been inducted as Member and Certified Professional of/by Australian Computer Society, ACS – The Professional Association for Australia’s ICT sector.

I decided to apply for membership and certification in recognition of increasing role technology is playing in management and higher education; two areas, I am really passionate about.

Certified Professional status provides business, government and customers assurance that my expertise has been independently assessed and validated by Australia’s professional association for the Information and Communication Technology sector.

I look forward to being part of exciting changes technology is going to bring in management and education.

Easter 2019 was spent teaching and engaging with faculty colleagues and students of Institut Mines-Télécom Business School. Meeting past students everywhere is fun!

Great to be be back in vibrant, diverse and elegant Paris.

It was great delivering practitioner workshop on e-governance and change management with Arvind Tyagi at RMIT University in Melbourne. Workshop was part of 12th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance organised by United Nations University.

Finished 2018 with the release of two long awaited papers online in Materialstoday Proceedings. In both the papers my colleague Amritpal Singh Dhillon and I analyse the data of Indian coal-fired power plants and their efficiency.
