About Us
The Faculty of Arts Teaching and Learning Network brings together the policy-making role of the Teaching and Learning Committee with a wider range of portfolios and initiatives related to teaching and learning. The Network seeks to improve and assure the quality of teaching and learning across the Faculty.
The Network’s efforts are organised by a management portfolio team (known as the T&L Network Executive). This Executive team is led by the Pro Dean Teaching and Learning, A/Professor Ian Maxwell and guided by the Teaching and Learning Committee. The Network is chiefly responsible for policy and strategic planning on the basis of the key performance indicators in teaching and learning, and in line with University and Faculty strategic directions.
There are four major areas of activity through which strategic planning will become operational:
These areas of operation, of necessity, involve considerable overlap in terms of function. They will be collaboratively led by four Directors, with support from the Associate Dean(s) Teaching and Learning, and a strong team of general staff.
The general objectives of the Arts Teaching and Learning Network are:
- enhance student learning experience
- further support student retention and progress
- support academic development in Teaching and Learning
- develop Faculty Teaching and Learning infrastructure
- maximise income
- Learning and Teaching Performance Funding
- Scholarship Index
