Podcast

HEDx Podcasts bring together the ideas, people and perspectives redefining higher education. From sector leaders and innovators to the voices of students themselves, our podcasts explore how research, policy and practice are reshaping learning, leadership and the student experience across two podcasts.

  • HEDx Podcast brings the opportunity for debate about the future of the sector, and a place for the exploration and sharing of ideas from the leading thinkers in the sector, globally curated and commented on by HEDx and its partners. This includes invited co-hosts from member institutions and corporate partners. Exemplary global and Australian sector leaders, innovators, and employers, share insights in episodes as a unique source of ideas and new sector thinking.
  • HEDx Student Experience Podcast puts learners at the centre. Hosted by Professor Kelly Matthews, this monthly podcast highlights what students really experience and how sector decisions translate into real-world impact on engagement and outcomes.

For leaders, professional staff, policymakers and partners, HEDx Podcasts connect big ideas with the learner reality, driving meaningful change in higher education.
