Abstract

The network aims to facilitate sustainable, long-term enhancement of learning and teaching, nurture a climate of collaboration and embed innovation and good practice, specifically by: capacity building in areas consistent with the ALTC's current goals (improving knowledge and skills in grant writing, award writing, evaluation, project management and dissemination); dissemination of outcomes of ALTC grants and fellowships and sharing the excellent teaching practices of ALTC award winners with early career academics, and others; supporting WAND partners during the transition from ALTC to DEEWR; promoting the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL)2; providing opportunities for potential grant applicants to get feedback on their ideas and establish collaborations with people from other WA universities; progressively involving a broader range of staff in WAND activities; supporting staff at regional campuses to participate in, and contribute to, the network; and providing a point of contact linking into national networks.
