Learning and Teaching Performance Fund (LTPF)
Melbourne's teaching excellence has been rewarded for two successive years by grants from the Commonwealth Government's Learning and Teaching Performance Fund for Australian universities that demonstrate excellence in undergraduate teaching and learning.
Learning and Teaching Performance Fund grants have been used within the University to support a range of projects (PDF 180 kb)to enhance learning and teaching at the University, including quantitative analysis of the student learning experience, effective and efficient feedback for students, linking Course Experience Questionnaire evaluations to specific aspects of subjects, and enhancing the teaching of tutors and demonstrators. Additional grants have also been provided for investigating large-group teaching with the specific aim of improving students' sense of their learning community, and on developing University Breadth Subjects as part of the new Melbourne Model.
