WIHEA Strategic Themes

Alongside WIHEA's overarching commitment to Internationalisation, Interdisciplinarity and Student Research, WIHEA's internal funding enables collaborative partnerships between staff and students and annually invites project proposals that support the development and dissemination of good practice in the following strategic areas: Student Engagement and Inclusion, Digital Education, Innovative Assessment, Teaching Leadership, and Curriculum Design & Development. Successful proposals are likely to offer an online resource, case studies of successful embedded practices, comparison and reference to resources at peer institutions and/or pedagogical literature.

Aimed at enabling the development of collaborations between two or more Higher Education Institutions to develop and share knowledge, experience and capabilities to address current challenges within the HE Sector, WIHEA's External Collaboration Fund supports projects focusing on, Inclusive Education, Blended Learning and Innovative Assessment, Sustainability in Education, and Student and Staff Wellbeing.

Funded by the Monash Warwick AllianceLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window (MWA), this scheme was managed jointly by the Monash Education Academy (MEA) and WIHEA with the aim of facilitating a minimum of three staff visits in each direction per annum. It was established to provide academic and professional staff involved in learning and teaching with the opportunity to:

  • share enhanced and evidence-based practice that supports the student experience;
  • develop and review innovative educational pedagogical activity;
  • establish connections to leverage expertise in education across both universities;
  • build or extend their international profile in education; and
  • add a learning and teaching dimension to existing research collaborations.

The scheme contributed to the costs of a visit, up to a maximum of AUD $12,000 or GBP £6,000 per proposal to be split across both universities. Eligible costs included international and local travel expenses, accommodation, event organisation and publicity.
