Mulyadi Robin | Associate Dean Teaching and Learning, Australian Institute of Business

In this video (part 1 of 2), Mulyadi Robin from the Australian Institute of Business (AIB) discusses his role as Associate Dean Teaching and Learning, and explores his dual research focus on servant leadership as a framework for teaching and learning success, and understanding and improving the international student experience.

Mulyadi discusses the theory of ‘andragogy’ as integral to the AIB’s approach in recognising the lived experience of its postgraduate students, to help inform the learning process beyond an educator's lens. He explains how this strategy enables students to harness theoretical framework to strengthen their knowledge, while filling in the gaps when theory may fall short. Mulaydi also addresses misconceptions that servant leadership is a soft approach to leadership, and shares examples of how it has led to enhanced developmental outcomes at both an individual and organisational level at AIB.

Commenting on preparedness in higher education for the digital era, Mulyadi emphasises the need to look beyond the didactic model of teaching and overcome the notion that online learning delivery is somehow ‘less than’, compared to traditional face-to-face modalities. Averse to the reliance on merely ‘broadcasting’ content, he unpacks how educators might begin to reimagine pedagogical approaches of interacting with students and the learning material itself.

Taking pride in AIB’s aim to deliver Australia’s most practical MBA, Mulyadi also explores the value of authentic assessment to ensure learning is practical and not just an abstracted concept, and how increasing assessment practicality also reduces the chance of academic integrity breaches.
