The Kinship Online Module Learning and Teaching Website is an innovative cultural education website about Aboriginal Kinship systems used in mainland Australia. It is based on a face-to-face interactive presentation on Australian Aboriginal Kinship systems developed by Lynette Riley. It is intended as a tool for learning and teaching at universities but can be used by any institution (VET colleges, schools, and students) that wish to extend their knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal people in Australia. The Module was created in response to the need for learning and teaching tools that help users understand traditional and contemporary Aboriginal Kinship structures such as moiety, totems and skin names and the impact of the breakdown of these structures through colonial practices. It is designed to provide an overview with an opportunity for ongoing independent learning by users.
