Abstract
The Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) was formed with the express purpose of promoting excellence in learning and teaching in Australian higher education. The ALTC recognises, rewards and supports outstanding teaching and practice through a suite of awards, fellowships and grant schemes. Additionally, a key ALTC objective is developing mechanisms for the dissemination of good practice in learning and teaching. This paper provides an update on recent activities and changes at the Council.
The ALTC works with higher education institutions, discipline groups and individuals as a collaborative and supportive partner in change, providing access to a network of knowledge, ideas and people.
