Program Revitalisation is part of the Program Portfolio Review and Renewal project, a major subproject of the Realising Our Potential project, and is itself made up of 4 major sub-projects:

• The Course and Program Mapping Project,

• The Academic Professional Development Project,

• The Vertical integration Project, and

• The Technology Enhanced Learning and Flexible Delivery Project

These projects are managed by the Learning and Teaching Support Unit in conjunction with the Division of Academic and Information Services (DAIS).

This Program Revitalisation website provides you with extensive information about each of these 4 main sub-projects.
