Working With Discipline Communities

Learning Networks is strongly discipline-focused on the basis that academic engagement and entry to learning and teaching takes place primarily through the disciplines.

Learning Networks interacts with the following discipline groupings:

• Architecture and Building

• Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences

• Business, Management and Economics

• Creative and Performing Arts

• Education and Human Service Professions

• Engineering and Technology

• Health, Medicine and Veterinary Science

• Law

• Science

In 2009 Learning Networks funded the following councils of deans to formulate and implement three-year plans to support quality teaching.

• Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC)

• Australasian Council of Deans of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (DASSH)

• Australian Council of Engineering Deans (ACED), in collaboration with the Australian Council of Deans of Information and Communications Technology (ACDICT)

In addition to working on the Learning and Teaching Academic Standards Project (LTASP), in 2010 – 2011 Learning Networks is also investigating ways to strengthen relationships with discipline communities, sector-wide groups and international leadership bodies.
