The video below captures a virtual tutorial session from my People Analytics course, where students were guided through Excel as an analytical tool. It reflects the applied, hands-on approach that runs through everything I do in the classroom.

Yolande Hylton - Submission 3 - Teaching in Practice.mp4Each semester, students produce work that demonstrates genuine analytical thinking, creativity, and professional capability. The following example is shared with the student's explicit permission. This video was submitted for the People Analytics course in Semester 1, 2025-2026. While it was longer than instructed, the content was exciting for me as a lecturer, demonstrating what is possible. This student was hesitant when the assignment was discussed, and I had the privilege of watching that hesitation turn into genuine excitement as the course progressed, culminating in this submission and an excellent reflection article.

The evidence on this page highlights that the approach to teaching is working. Students are engaging with the theory and applying it to practice across multiple courses and over several years. The voices on this page remind me that the investment in thoughtful, innovative, student-centred course design makes a genuine difference to the people sitting in those seats. There is always more to learn and room to grow. This keeps the work meaningful. After all, the student is our customer.
