Tom's holiday / Michelle McLaughlin ; illustrated by Morgan Todonai.

"Tom's Holiday is all about road safety for young children. Tom and his family park the car and head for the beach at a little beachside village. The beachside village is different from home in the city - there are no footpaths. Mum and Dad teach Tom that we must be careful because holiday towns don't have kerbs and gutters. The roads can be thin and there aren't white lines. It's very important that children hold their parent's hand" -- From the Internet.

Developing tailored study plans for the new higher education environment : 'Letting go of control' : final report / Professor Joe Shapter, National Teaching Fellow, Flinders University ; Associate Professor Ingo Koeper, College of Science and Engi

"It is timely that the higher education sector examines paths forward to address and indeed engage in the new environment in which it will work in the future. This fellowship explored two approaches to engage students more deeply in their education. The first approach is generally termed 'interdisciplinary studies' where students define their own program of study; the second approach focuses on topic structure where students are given a wide range of choice and in effect can build a topic that suits their interests."--Page iv.
