Evaluation responsibilities
Effective evaluation practice is achieved as a result of collaborative and shared responsibility at different levels of university administration.
Institutional level
- guiding practice through the development, review and monitoring of policy related to the evaluation of teaching and curriculum (eg The Teaching and Learning Enhancement Plan, Curriculum and Teaching Quality Appraisal, Academic Program Review and procedures for Appointment and Promotion)
- providing adequate support for the conduct of evaluation (eg resourcing Reporting and TEDI evaluation activities, allocating funds and other resources for responses to evaluations)
- developing and implementing appropriate responses to evaluation reports
- informing the university community and other appropriate stake-holders of responses to evaluations
Faculty and school level
- guiding and coordinating practice through the development of systematic and coherent plans for the conduct of evaluation aligned with institutional policy
- establishing structures and procedures for the support of evaluation (eg nominating staff for particular evaluation responsibilities and making provision for workload implications; allocating funds and other resources for responses to evaluations)
- developing and implementing appropriate responses to evaluation reports
- informing appropriate stake-holders including the DVC (Academic) and faculty and school staff and students of responses to evaluations
Program and course level
- establishing structures and procedures for the support of evaluation through the development of systematic and coherent plans consistent with faculty or school guidelines
- developing and implementing appropriate responses to evaluation reports
- informing appropriate stake-holders including faculty and school academic leaders, peers and students of responses to evaluations
Individual level
