EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In keeping with University of Johannesburg’s pledge to provide quality higher education learning and teaching, the Division for Teaching Excellence (DTE) supports teaching excellence across all its activities and projects. The work of the Division spans a wide range of national and university projects directed at the holistic development of academic staff, and programmes, at all levels, rewarding teaching excellence, providing tutor training and support, programme development, and quality assurance. In addition to the projects managed and administered by the Division, the Centre for Academic Planning and Quality Promotion (CAPQP), and the Centre for Academic Staff Development (CASD) focus on supporting academic development across its various dimensions. The work of the Division and its Centres is designed strategically to meet the University’s goals and objectives and respond in multiple ways to support the academic project. Central to the Division’s work is providing academics with the tools needed to develop responses to the rapidly changing higher education environment, a need that peaked with the COVID-19 pandemic. Against this backdrop, the Division and its Centres ensure that curriculum and academic transformation in the University continue and that academics are supported in all areas within the scope of the Division’s activities. This Annual Report demonstrates the effectiveness of the wide-ranging interventions spearheaded by the Division in 2022, and of the integrated and coherent efforts made to enhance the quality of teaching in the continuous pursuit of excellence. The report is characterised by a demonstration of the huge effort and productivity of the Division which has been validated by achievement of outcomes and positive feedback received. For the year reported on, relevance, innovation and a constant reimagining of the work of the Division is evident. 2022 ANNUAL REPORT: DIVISION FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE 4
