Academic development

Academic development is a field of practice and research within higher education that focuses on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL)[1]. Academic developers support university staff and institutions in enhancing the quality of education through professional development, curriculum design, and pedagogical innovation.

Academic developers offer activities that aim to:

  • Enhance teaching effectiveness
  • Improve student learning and engagement
  • Support curriculum and assessment design
  • Promote reflective and evidence-based teaching
  • Foster institutional change related to massification

Academic developers often work with individual educators, academic departments, and institutional leadership.
