Learning and Teaching Performance Fund
For the past two years, UOW has been successful in gaining funding through the Department of Education, Science and Training’s Learning and Teaching Performance Fund for best demonstrating excellence in learning and teaching.
UOW Learning and Teaching Performance
The University was awarded approximately $5 million funding through the first round of the Performance Fund announced in 2005. Over 30 projects at UOW were supported with the funding including:
• Innovative teaching and learning programs for both face-to-face and online environments
• Development of a teaching quality and reward framework
• Professional development methodologies for sessional teaching staff
• Development of student ePortfolios
The funding also supplemented existing University initiatives aimed at supporting learning and teaching including the UOW Student Equity Project, refurbishment of the University Library and common teaching areas, and an upgrade of teaching equipment and systems to support and improve online learning at the University.
For the second round of funding announced in December 2006, UOW was again recognised for best demonstrating excellence in teaching and learning when it was awarded an additional $5.4 million in funding. UOW was one of only two universities to rank in the top tier in three of four categories in the Performance Fund in this round.
The allocation of funding from the most recent round is under consideration.
