What is the Sceptic's Tarot?

Buy the course!

The Sceptic's Tarot is about using Tarot cards for ideas, brainstorming, problem solving, decision-making, planning, goal-setting, motivation, self-exploration, creative activities, counselling, relaxation and more.

There is nothing mystical, esoteric or supernatural involved.

The cards are usually associated with divination. They do not have to be. The Sceptic's Tarot offers a different take on how Tarot cards can be used.

What is leadership of work-integrated learning (WIL) about?

What are WIL leaders and what is work-integrated learning (WIL) leadership about? An Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching project report, published September 2014, addresses these issues. Page 4 (emphasis added) defines WIL leadership and WIL leaders:

WIL leadership refers to the activities that surround the development, promotion, organisation, management and delivery of Work Integrated Learning. This leadership takes place both within higher education institutions and also in workplaces located within industry and community organisations.

WIL leaders, the report further states, are practitioners based within either a higher education institution, or based within the associated organisations. As practitioners WIL leaders teach, host, support or employ WIL students and operate in either formal or informal roles to provide formal or informal leadership of Work Integrated Learning.
