Learning Innovation Teaching Enhancement

Learning Innovation Teaching Enhancement (LITE) is a team-based, collaborative form of Professional Development that supports faculty academic staff to enhance learning and teaching.

LITE teams are made up of a range of support staff from these areas who work with faculty academic staff on learning and teaching enhancement projects nominated by faculties.  

Each LITE team project involves a number of courses and work is guided by program aims, or an agreed-upon theme or purpose – for example adapting a group of courses for online learning.

Program for 2012
There are currently ten confirmed LITE team projects across USQ for 2012. All Faculties are now represented and in various stages of development.  

Work so far includes activities such as curriculum mapping and alignment reviews, team-based online delivery planning sessions, Open Education Resource discovery searches and on-demand Professional Development sessions.  

Many of the proposed LITE team enhancements are exciting and we hope to showcase some of this work later in 2012.

One example is the Law School project, which will develop online assessments and activities in chosen courses that enable external students to demonstrate key discipline, threshold learning outcomes, such as those related to communication and collaboration, thinking skills and self-management.
