Strategic Priority 3

Academic Program Development and Support

Strategic goal:

Offer leading-edge, dynamic academic programs

To achieve this goal, we aim to:

  1. Establish a regular process for review of existing academic programs by:
    • tasking the Associate Deans to develop an implementation plan linked to the Senate-led review cycle
  2. Provide support for the development and renewal of academic programs by:
    • increasing the transparency of budgetary processes for developing programs
    • establishing ongoing environmental scanning and review processes to facilitate the early identification of and appropriate support for program development opportunities
  3. Establish a plan and processes to support the development of online education materials by:
    • developing a new teaching credit structure to support faculty developing online course materials
    • collaborating with the Centre for Extended Learning to support the development of online learning materials
