Join us in congratulating the Risepoint Australia Academic Services team for winning the Platinum Award for Best Talented Team in the EdTech Learning Design Team category at the 2025 LearnX Awards! This accolade recognises our high-performing Academic Services team, made up of specialists in learning design, educational technology, academic development, employability, media production and project management. The Academic Services team partners with university academics to co-design student-centred online courses that are pedagogically rigorous, industry-aligned and scalable.
Having previously achieved several Platinum Awards for innovative projects in digital health, cybersecurity, and online micro-credentials, the Australia team has consistently demonstrated sector leadership and tangible impact across higher education. These awards collectively highlight a sustained track record of excellence, creativity, and measurable outcomes in online learning design.
Across hundreds of courses, our team has built a signature pedagogy through the Risepoint Design Tenets and the RISE Learning Framework. We deliver academic onboarding, professional development, course content development, LMS configuration, and ongoing pedagogical coaching, giving university partners the confidence to scale online learning without compromising quality. Professional development workshops are consistently rated highly by educators for engagement, usefulness, and applicability, while internal collaboration ensures a unified approach and shared standards across all programs.
Our award-winning digital health program with La Trobe University exemplifies this approach. A flexible, cohort-based online Master of Digital Health and Graduate Certificate integrates industry-informed, authentic assessments, advisory board insights, and embedded video interviews with experts, producing graduates who are ready to lead digital transformation in health. Student progression rates improved to 92.7%, satisfaction scores exceed university averages, and enrolments grew 58% year on year.
Similarly, our UniSC postgraduate cybersecurity and forensics programs have transformed student outcomes through embedded industry certifications, real-world artefacts, and career-connected design. Graduates emerge as “triple-threat” candidates with a university qualification, industry credentials, and a portfolio of applied work.
Our La Trobe cybersecurity micro-credentials and skilled-through-alternative-routes (STAR) professional entry pathway highlight another dimension of impact: scaling workforce-aligned education nationally. More than 7,100 enrolments have been achieved, exceeding targets by 143%, while learners gain practical skills, professional recognition, and pathways into postgraduate study that were previously inaccessible.
The Risepoint Australia team delivers measurable value to university partners by reducing academic workload, ensuring consistent high-quality course delivery, embedding career-connected learning, and supporting scalable, sustainable growth. For students, our work translates into engaging, accessible, and authentic online learning experiences that improve employability, confidence, and readiness for industry.
By consistently combining academic rigour, industry alignment, and operational excellence, Risepoint Australia has become a recognised leader in online learning design, demonstrating that winning in EdTech is not a single achievement but a sustained commitment to innovation, partnership, and student success.
