I was the very first winner of the Melbourne Online Different by design value award, recognising my innovative approach to programming learning design in Programming for Cyber Security.
Leigh Canny
To acknowledge your excellent contribution through your Python coding work in the subject 'Programming for Cyber Security' and supporting the APM. The level of skill and expertise you are bringing to the cyber subjects overall is a real asset to the team and to our student Sx.
Laura, and the Student Coordinator, are absolutely thrilled with the outcomes and have been enthusiastically sharing news of your work with others. It's clear your efforts are making a strong impression.
This is a standout piece of work that really embodies our commitment to being different by design. Well done Leigh - we're excited to see more in another engaging MO showcase piece from you soon.

Melbourne Online values
There are many ways our values will be brought to life. A starting point is through our people processes, including:
- Recognition – demonstration of MO values by individuals and/or teams is recognised and reinforced
Different by design
We are intentional in our design – we design our experience, systems and processes to be fit-for-purpose for our market and our pace.
How we do this:
- Data and insight inform design
- We do ‘different’ to add value, not for the sake of difference
- Champion the unexpected – old problems need new solutions
