Deakin University has been awarded two major Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program grants worth $331 000.
The two grants have been awarded to the Deakin Business School’s Dr Judy Nagy (working in collaboration with the Institute of Teaching and Learning) and the Faculty of Science and Technology’s Associate Professor Kieran Lim (along with colleagues from the Faculty).
Dr Nagy has been awarded $220 000 for a project titled ‘Coalface subject coordinators – the missing link to building leadership capacities in the academic supply chain’. The project, for which Deakin is the lead institution, is being undertaken in collaboration with Edith Cowan University, the University of Southern Queensland and the University of New England.
Associate Professor Lim has been awarded $111 000 for a leadership project titled 'Developing leaders of change in the teaching of large university chemistry classes'.
These successes build on an ALTC competitive grant of $220 000 awarded earlier this year to Associate Professor Jacob Cybulski, from the School of Business Information Systems, for ‘Building academic staff capacity for using eSimulations in professional education for experience transfer'. This project involves collaboration with RMIT University and Charles Sturt University.
Working with 14 other Australian universities on various projects, Deakin has now secured close to $1.2 million of ALTC funds in the last two years (with another $620 000 for participation in partnership arrangements), demonstrating the University’s reputation for leadership in teaching and learning through partnerships in Australian higher education.
