OLT Fellowships Programme 2015
The Centre for Higher Education Learning and Teaching Research invites ECU staff to register their intention to nominate for a Fellowship with the Office for Learning & Teaching (formerly ALTC).
Fellowships Programme The aim of the fellowships programme is to advance learning and teaching in higher education by supporting a group of leading educators to undertake strategic, high-profile activities in areas of importance to the sector. Through their fellowship activities, Fellows have a positive and lasting influence and impact on higher education practice in Australia.
Fellowship selection is based on individuals’ demonstrated leadership capacity in higher education. The fellowships are prestigious acknowledgements of individuals’ expertise and influence and, as such, are highly valued by recipients’ home institutions. Fellowships afford opportunities for individuals to undertake strategic programmes of activities around identified educational issues, to develop their knowledge of the broader higher education environment in Australia, and to practise and further develop their leadership skills in this area.
There are two types of OLT fellowships: · National Senior Teaching Fellowships · National Teaching Fellowships
National Senior Teaching Fellows National Senior Teaching Fellows are outstanding scholars in their fields, recognised by their home institutions for their existing and continuing leadership roles in university learning and teaching. They are usually senior academics or senior people with expertise in higher education practice and scholarship, and a record of institutional or disciplinary leadership. National Senior Teaching Fellows exercise leadership in undertaking a significant programme of fellowship activities normally over the course of 12 months, contributing to various national learning and teaching events, and developing national and international networks appropriate to their fellowship activities.
· Maximum total funding available for each National Senior Teaching Fellowship is $250,000. · 2015 National Senior Teaching Fellows will be expected to commence their fellowship programme between 1 July and 31 December 2015 and they must complete by 31 December 2016. The exact starting date will be negotiated with successful nominees. Up to six months can be added to the timeline if required. Previous National Senior Teaching Fellows from ECU include Ron Oliver, Lynne Cohen, and Cobie Rudd.
National Teaching Fellows
National Teaching Fellows are prominent scholars in their disciplinary fields, recognised by their home institutions for their capacity to make significant contributions to educational leadership into the future. They are normally early or mid-career academics engaged in the scholarly practice of learning and teaching in higher education. National Teaching Fellows undertake a short programme of activities over the course of nine to twelve months, addressing an identified learning and teaching issue within their institution or discipline, with the goal of enhancing disciplinary or inter-disciplinary teaching and learning within their institution, and beyond.
· Maximum total funding available for each National Teaching Fellowship is $90,000. · 2015 National Teaching Fellows will be expected to commence their fellowship programme between 1 July and 31 December 2015 and they must complete by 31 December 2016.
The due date for applications for 2015 is February 2nd.
