Victoria/Tasmania – Promoting Excellence Network (VTAS-PEN)

Up until 2010, Victoria and Tasmania had a state-based network which met infrequently. It was not active in fostering collaboration, dissemination of ALTC project outcomes, findings and resources, or training of its constituent university PEI team members. In addition, and this is not unique to Victorian institutions, there tends to be a churn of new staff and therefore loss of knowledge and skills associated with ALTC (and its antecedents’) teaching and learning programs.
