Teaching and Learning

Academic Quality Assurance (AQA) suite of reports is designed to provide transparent and easy-to-compare information on programs and courses for each faculty and school. Information covers topics like program and course demand and sustainability, student performance, retention/attrition, student and graduate satisfaction, and graduate outcomes. All registered UQ Reportal users are able to access these reports.

 

AQA reports support the annual academic quality assurance process which involves requesting and providing commentary and action plans for programs and courses that raise questions and/or concerns. AQA online response system documents such requests and responses.


If you have any questions about the AQA reports data and structure, please email planning@uq.edu.au. If you have issues accessing the reports, please email pbi-support@uq.edu.au. More information about the AQA process can be accessed on the Institute for Teaching and Learning Innovation (ITaLI) website.



Individual Activity Profile



Commissioned by the P3 Project, the Individual Activity Profile provides a holistic suite of data currently covering some teaching and research activities of individual academic staff. It has been designed to enable individuals to reflect on their recent activity, and to help identify possible future areas of focus. Later releases will include modules that cover service, engagement and collaboration.

The P3 Individual Activity Profile is not intended to be a workload management tool, nor intended to represent the full range of activities that have been allocated to a staff member as part of their appointment within a School/Centre/Institute. Rather, the P3 Individual Activity Profiles are intended to provide data to the academic staff member which represent a summary of their achievements across the broad academic activity categories of Teaching, Research, Service/Engagement specifically for aiding mentoring and development conversations.

Performance Frameworks

 

These frameworks are based on the articulation of the key capabilities that each School or Institute must develop and sets out the sequence for broadening and deepening those capabilities. Key indicators, including performance thresholds, have been identified for measuring the capabilities, resulting in a performance chart for each organisational unit. The scorecard reflects performance against internal University of Queensland benchmarks which are purposefully set high. Schools and Institutes are rated against The University of Queensland's own aspirational targets.
