The 2024 Vice Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence in Education provide ANU with the opportunity to recognise and celebrate the remarkable contributions of our educators. The landscape of education is constantly evolving, and the achievements we highlight through these awards reflect the dedication, innovation and passion of our teaching community in their different roles – convenor, tutor, supervisor, supporter, leader.
This year’s nominees and recipients described innovative and student-centred approaches, tailored to their disciplinary contexts. From inspiring large classes, to connecting complex, cutting-edge research to real-world applications, to transforming students’ experiences through playful and supportive activities, and developing inclusive environments, these educators are shaping their students’ success as active, self-directed learners.
With a record number of 54 submissions, the evaluation panels focused on identifying initiatives and well-established practices where robust evaluation has improved and proved the worth of the educator’s work, collaboration and vision. We hope these accounts encourage further scholarly teaching improvements across the ANU community
