Moderation for fair assessment in transnational learning and teaching
The project has documented moderation approaches that are potentially examples of good practice: structured and frequent communication, continuity in staffing to build relationships, use of marking guides, and the development of shared understandings around assessment. The TNE Assessment Moderation Toolkit, designed for involving the whole teaching team including partner organisation staff in assessment moderation practices, is available at the project website.
Academic leadership development within the university sector by dissemination of a web-based 360° feedback process and related professional development workshops: Facilitator Guide
The Facilitator Guide focuses on the processes used by those developing academic leadership programs and includes information about conducting a 360° survey feedback process, conducting leadership workshops, embedding academic leadership within a university, developing Personal Action Plans, and issues that may be encountered. The Guide draws upon information developed in the projects, 'Improving the Leadership Capability of Academic Coordinators in Postgraduate and Undergraduate Programs in Business' and 'Academic Leadership: Fundamental Building Blocks'.
Academic leadership development within the university sector by dissemination of a web-based 360° feedback process and related professional development workshops
The overall goal of this project was to develop the capacity of academic developers to build leadership capacity in their respective universities, in particular at the level of front-line staff, such as academic program directors, who often deal directly with students. This report describes the provision of leadership development opportunities for these groups during two workshops using the Integrated Competing Values Framework leadership model. As part of the action learning approach adopted, participants designed and implemented development programs for academics within their institutions. Recommendations for institutions and other resources form part of the report.
Peer review of online learning and teaching
The project developed an open-source, web enabled peer review tool (PROTL). The PROTL system incorporates banks of standards-based criteria for use in peer review, explanations of the meaning of these criteria, exemplars, and an underlying database that can record peer review results and make them available for promotion or awards. The project website provides resources such as an online manual, detailed guides, tutorials and features of the PROTL system, case studies and publications.
