VISITING SPEAKER: 2012 Teaching & Learning Month Event - Hunters & Gatherers: Strategies for Curriculum Mapping and Data Collection for Assurance of Learning (An ALTC Funded Project)

The "Hunters & Gatherers: Strategies for Curriculum Mapping and Data Collection for Assurance of Learning" project concentrates on two elements of the assurance of learning: Mapping learning objectives that relate to graduate attributes across suitable units of study in the program (where possible allowing for introduction, further development and then assurance of the objectives); and collecting data on student performance in relation to each learning objective.

The emphasis will be on informing strategy in a way that supports efficient and manageable assurance mechanisms for academic staff. These elements will be considered through a sector wide audit. The audit will examine not only the regulatory practice of mapping and data collection but also provide a platform for innovation and change principles.
