Since the Australian Universities Accord Final Report was released in February there has been much speculation about which of the 47 recommendations would be implemented. Register your place for this webinar, jointly organised with HERDSA Victoria, to hear from Associate Professor Gwilym Croucher and Professor Christopher Ziguras on "What next with the Universities Accord?" For more information and to register: https://lnkd.in/gGcgiqan To read the Accord Report on teaching quality produced by the CSHE (Sophie Arkoudis, Chi Baik, Wendy Larcombe, Gwilym Croucher, Raoul Mulder and Christopher Ziguras) in co-design with the Australian Government Department of Education: https://lnkd.in/gpQeThgK

Report on teaching quality produced by the CSHE (Sophie Arkoudis, Chi Baik, Wendy Larcombe, Gwilym Croucher, Raoul Mulder and Christopher Ziguras Ziguras) in co-design with the Australian Government Department of Education for Australian Universities Accord is now publicly available. The report explores eight options for how to enhance learning and teaching outcomes in Australian HE, with the ultimate focus of strengthening graduate attributes. The establishment of a National Centre for Higher Education Advancement (Option 1) and a Professional Standards Framework to guide HE teaching (Option 2) have the potential to facilitate systemic change within the sector. These two options provide a framework for institutional uplift in relation to the peer review of teaching and professional development initiatives (Options 3 and 4). Building on evidence for effective student learning in Australian HE and sharing best practice resources are the focus of Options 5 and 6. The last options (Options 7 and 8) discuss possible new measures of teaching quality for the sector, including an option to explore the development of an Australian Teaching Excellence Framework. #HigherEd #teaching #learning #quality #universities

We welcomed over 350 University of Melbourne staff and graduate researchers for a day of in-depth discussion on #ArtificialIntelligence and #HigherEducation, and how educators and students are responding to rapid change.   We would like to thank all our attendees for their amazing engagement throughout the sessions. Special thanks go to our speakers, panelists and moderators for sharing their expertise, which made for a lively exchange throughout the day.
