Four new ALTC-funded projects will focus on quality assurance and assessment of graduate outcomes, with almost $1 million dollars to be invested over the next two years.
Each project covers different territory in terms of research methodology and focus but all ultimately aim to better connect assessment to the needs of industry and students as well as to the broader goals of universities themselves.
Dr Romy Lawson leads the ‘Hunters and gatherers’ project, which will explore and make recommendations on mapping of graduate attributes and collecting assurance data.
A new ALTC project that will focus on building leadership capacity in communities of practice (CoP) is calling for participants to become involved in an ongoing stakeholder network.
Project manager Fiona Margetts, from the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) explained that leaders in learning and teaching as well as facilitators and co-facilitators of CoPs nationwide, from both the academic and professional communities, can greatly benefit from becoming involved in the project.
