Blended Learning International is proud to celebrate an inspiring collaboration with four talented students from the University of Sydney—Thendrl Mageshkumaar, Hedvig Stendal, Srishti Sanghi, and Ann Joseph—who developed a digital engagement strategy to enhance how future students connect with Blended Learning International. Working closely with our team, each student played a vital role in designing a streamlined, user-friendly platform that addresses real challenges in course discovery, application processes, and community building.
Key outcomes included: Automated eligibility and course comparison tools Interactive onboarding features Local ambassador and alumni networks Peer support and smart dashboards To recognise their outstanding contribution, Blended Learning International held a virtual prize ceremony on 31st July 2025. Chief Executive Officer Lisa Materano and Professor Glenn Withers presented each student with a share of the Blended Learning International Industry Engagement Prize and commended their innovation, research, and professionalism.
Several features of their project will now be adopted into Blended Learning International’s digital transformation roadmap and will form part of the new Social Cyber Technology Academy, offering training in cyber policy, governance, and leadership. We thank Thendrl, Hedvig, Srishti, and Ann for their exceptional efforts and look forward to seeing the continued impact of their work.
