Definition of academic development
• Academic development = all initiatives taken -both at the central as at the ‘local’ level- in order to support faculty members to fulfil their different roles (teaching, research, …) throughout their academic career • Focus in this workshop on ‘formal’ training of faculty members with regard to their teaching
=> academic development = instrument for qualiacademic development
• Commonly accepted approach to high quality teaching in Higher Education: student-centred approach (<-> teachercentred approach)
