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 the development and enhancement of teaching excellence through its activities and projects. The work of the Division spans both 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 improvement, and quality assurance. In addition to the special projects managed and administered by the DTE, the Centre for Academic Planning and Quality Promotion (CAPQP), and the Centre for Academic Staff Development (CASD) work in their areas of specialisation to build capacity and provide support for the academic project. The work of the Division and its Centres is strategically directed at meeting the University’s goals and objectives and as a result is responsive and reflexive in its undertakings. The DTE provides academics with the tools needed to develop responses to the rapidly changing higher education environment which, despite the peak around the COVID-19 pandemic, is a permanent feature of university life. Against this backdrop, the Division and its Centres support both curriculum and academic transformation in the University and engage in many collaborative activities across different domains within the scope of the Division’s activities. This Annual Report demonstrates the effectiveness of the wide-ranging interventions spearheaded by the Division in 2023, and of the integrated and coherent efforts made to enhance the quality of teaching in the continuous pursuit of excellence. 2023 ANNUAL REPORT DIVISION FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE 4
