Michael joined the Academic Development Unit at La Trobe University in November, 1993 as its first Director.
Michael's academic development activities focus on issues to do with the improvement of teaching, learning and evaluation in higher education. He is also interested in criteria used to judge good teaching in areas such as tenure and promotion.
His research interests are also in the area of teaching and learning. In particular, he is interested in how students and staff approach their teaching and learning, how these approaches are related to the ways in which they perceive the teaching and learning context and conceive of the tasks in which they are engaged. He has a number of publications and research grants in this area.
Ann has been involved in physiology education both nationally and internationally.
She was part of the team that developed the Graduate Medical Program at The University of Sydney. A special feature of the program is the use of information technology at a high level being used for presentation of material, retrieval of information, communication between students and staff, data analysis and self-directed learning. For her contributions to this program, Ann received the 1998 DETYA Australian Award for University Teaching in the category of Flexible Delivery.
She is currently involved in the development of The University of Sydney Dental Program. Integral to the new program's problem-based learning approach is an emphasis on computer based teaching and assessment.
Ann has an extensive list of publications in the areas of her research and curriculum development.
