Abstract

tertiary education Indigenous education
Rather than teaching culture as a separate subject or specialist course, the embedding of cultural learnings (education about other cultures) within the standard health promotion curriculum is a relatively new advance in curriculum design. Although embedding can be achieved in a number of ways, this project trialled a relatively straightforward adaptation of an applied undergraduate assessment with the additional inclusion of a traditional Indigenous perspective. A web-based multimedia (WBMM) assessment tool was developed in order to adapt an original assessment on psycho-diagnostic reasoning.
