Induction for New Academic Staff

The Centre of Education and Enhancement has developed three self-directed Short Learning Programmes for new academic staff to complete.

These Short Learning Programs focus on giving you an understanding of:

• what is expected of you as an educator at JCU,
• an overview of what the student experience looks like at JCU, how you contribute, and what supports are available,
• the importance of Academic Integrity, JCU's educative approach, and strategies for dealing with potential academic misconduct.

These three Short Learning Programs form part of employment probation requirements.
