[Foundations] Fw: Surveys on Development of Academics

[Allan Goody]

Dear Foundations colleagues.  The following email is about the CADAD survey 
that was mentioned at the Colloquium.  If you have not received notice of it 
from your Director, you can access the survey here direct.  The survey is 
for Australian academic developers only (I believe).

Cheers

Allan

Subject: Surveys on Development of Academics


Dear Colleagues

This is a request to Directors of Academic Development (CADAD members) and 
others involved in the development of academics as teachers to complete a 
survey on Australian practice in academic development if they have not 
already done so.

CADAD members will receive a separate request from David Gosling to complete 
the survey designed for Directors of Academic Development Units.

For others involved in the development of academics as teachers the 
appropriate survey link is:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=nosx3VMO6omgWgQLdMXr0Q_3d_3d
You are encouraged to pass on this link to others involved in the 
development of academics as teachers.

Interim reports of from the Survey of Directors of Academic Development in 
Australian universities and the survey of others involved in the development 
of academics as teachers were a focus for discussion at the Development of 
Academics and Higher Education Futures Forum conducted in Melbourne on 25 
and 26 October. The Forum was attended by over 100 delegates representing 
all Australian universities. Survey data together with Forum discussions 
will inform system-wide recommendations to Carrick Institute and other 
national bodies on approaches to and support of development of academics in 
Australia. There is a risk that the survey data may not be representative as 
only about half the eligible respondents have completed the Directors' 
survey and responses to the survey of others involve in development of 
academics was limited to about 30 . I and attendees at the Forum would like 
to request that those Directors and others eligible to submit who have not 
completed a survey do so before the surveys close on 23 November. The 
surveys do require a substantial commitment of time, 30-40 minutes, but your 
input would be much appreciated and will help to inform decision-making 
about development of academics in Australia.

Our thanks
