Project Proposal

The anticipated project outcomes are:

a review of national and international academic leadership research and current best practice, and the publication of reports and journal articles;
clearly defined roles and responsibilities for course leaders recognising their critical role in achieving excellence in teaching and learning at the course level;
a "Course Leader Development Program" and package of flexible learning resources which can be adapted for implementation in cross-discipline and wide ranging university contexts for current and prospective course coordinators;
identification of systems level outcomes which have implications for university academic career pathways, promotion processes, University staff profiles, Staff Professional Development programs for current and prospective academic leaders; and change management in higher education: and
upscaling of the project through a national network of users (Australian Technology Network [ATN]) who have been involved in the development of the program through their involvement with the Project Reference Group, and more broadly across the Australian University sector as a whole through the ALTC network to achieve cross-sectoral impact.
