AFTRS Learning and Teaching Plan

The Education Division is responsible for the implementation of the AFTRS Learning and Teaching Plan (LTP) to nurture and enhance the experience and the quality of learning and teaching. In meeting the objectives of the LTP the Education Division is supported by the teaching divisions of Radio, Screen Content and Screen Production.

The LTP is a component of AFTRS Academic Quality Management that incorporates systematic self-review, continuous improvement and benchmarking of academic standards, performance and outcomes.

The objectives of the LTP are to:

• Develop a culture and environment where 'communities of creative practice' and 'communities of creative inquiry' can flourish
• Provide high quality flexible programs of study that meet the needs of diverse student profiles
• Incorporate the creative use of new media in teaching and learning including through the development of leading edge on-line environments and convergence platforms
• Provide high quality supports for students, including academic and welfare, to enhance the student experience at AFTRS
