Strategic Initiatives

Promoting Excellence Initiative

The Promoting Excellence Initiative (PEI) is a three-year project that has been funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) to help facilitate the development of institutional strategies that support staff in making high-quality submissions to the ALTC's grants scheme, awards, fellowship scheme and other initiatives.

Specific activities undertaken as part of this project include:

  • supporting CDU staff in applying for awards that recognise outstanding contributions to teaching and learning
  • supporting CDU staff in applying for grants to improve teaching and learning practice
  • supporting CDU staff in applying for fellowships that promote excellence in teaching and learning
  • coordinating the University’s Student Experience Project which was designed to support initiatives that address the changing needs of CDU's student cohort
  • developing an internal teaching and learning mailing list
  • promoting the scholarship of teaching and learning
  • facilitating a more strategic approach to the development and use of teaching portfolios
  • disseminating information about ALTC initiatives and activities.
