Bond University

Bond University Goals

The Office of Learning and Teaching (OLT) is aligned with four key actions of the Bond University Strategic Plan 2013-2017.

• Develop new delivery methods that involve blended learning that is centred on staff-student interaction supplemented by educational technology
• Build a set of activities and events that communicate the influence and impact of Bond’s activities, especially research and community
• Enhance the distinctiveness of our student experience by focusing on personal development and the concept of a graduate portfolio
• Ensure the highest quality of teaching

In keeping with these strategic actions, Bond OLT has four key goals:

• Provide professional development / training to academics and pedagogical / multimedia design consultation to improve blended learning to threshold standards
• Extend the influence and impact of Bond’s contribution to higher education learning and teaching through nominations and proposals for internal and external awards and projects including initiatives of the Australian Office for Learning and Teaching
• Evaluate, improve and enhance learning aspects of the student experience through working collaboratively with faculties through the University Learning and Teaching Committee and Academic Advisory Committee and students through the Student Association
• Sustain the highest quality of teaching across the university through administering, reporting and improving teaching based on student evaluation of subjects and teaching (TEVALs) and running professional development workshops on a demand-driven basis on such topics as tutor-training and early career teaching.
