Info sessions on Self Review and Trial Audit
Published on 17 March, 2005
Information sessions commenced this week to share the findings of last year's Self Review, to provide details about the Trial Audit which is currently in progress and to provide an update on the October AUQA Audit.
The Self Review was conducted in December 2004. It involved more than 70 hours of interviews, group meetings and focus groups, to assess the University’s performance against the Quality Management Framework (QMF).
These activities involved staff and students from a cross-section of campuses and disciplines, as well as members of the community. This was the first major activity in preparation for the 2005 AUQA Audit of CQU.
Information sessions will continue next week. These are open to all interested staff. The remaining sessions are:.
Tuesday March 22 3pm to 4pm in Rockhampton Building 6/G.03. Thursday March 24 1pm to 2pm in Rockhampton 29/G.05 ISL to Bundaberg1/G.27, Mackay 6/G.03, Gladstone 1/1.03A.
The information session will also be available via video-streaming on the CQU Quality website by Tuesday, March 22.
The second major preparation activity is the Trial Audit, which commenced at the Sydney International Campus earlier this month, and continues next week, with Panel Leader Professor Gus Guthrie being accompanied to the CQU Sydney International Campus by Dr John Grant.
Dr Grant (pictured) has served in senior positions at Commonwealth, State and institutional levels in the schools, TAFE and higher education sectors. In recent years he was a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University, Director of the UNESCO Centre and Chairman of the Australian Capital Territory Accreditation and Registration Council. He is a member of the Queensland Ministerial Advisory Panel on Higher Education.
The full panel (Professor Gus Gutherie, Dr John Grant and Dr Anne Martin) will visit the CQU Rockhampton from March 30 to April 1.
