Abstract

Building on two previous CAUULT supported projects, and the Australasian Advancing Academic Development Good Practice Awards, the aim of this project was to establish evidence-based Benchmarking Standards for Australasian Academic Development. Drawing on a large data set (of 100 good practice exemplars collected over four years), a set of criteria, descriptors, and standards were developed to produce an Academic Development Good Practice Framework. The framework was tested and validated with stakeholders at a well-attended CAULLT webinar and is the subject of a forthcoming publication.
