CLT is responsible for building institutional capacity that facilitates the embedding of Engagement across the ECU curriculum.
This project resulted from the University’s ECU: Engaging Minds: Engaging Communities. Towards 2020 
December 2006 Strategic Plan.
Timeframe: 2008 to 2010
The Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) awarded a Promoting Excellence Initiative (PEI) grant of $220,000 to ECU at the end of 2007. The grant period is 3 years.
The purpose of the PEI grant is to primarily improve the synergy between ALTC and ECU with mutual advantages to both parties. This has two sides to the equation: firstly, the ALTC should be better able to achieve its mission to serve the needs of T&L across the nation, and secondly, ECU should be better able to apply successfully for ALTC grants, fellowships and awards and be better able to access the benefits of all ALTC initiatives. Similar PEI grants were awarded to most Australian universities.
The underlying practical benefit of the ECU PEI Project is to improve the quality of teaching and learning at ECU.
During 2008 the Centre for Learning and Teaching developed and piloted a six phase Major Course Review process. This process will be used when courses undergo a major review to determine their past and present effectiveness and to set future directions in the context of the mission and vision of the University and Faculty.
The project will develop guidelines, principles, exemplars and evaluation rubrics to guide the sustainable refurbishment of existing tertiary learning spaces to support a range of current and emerging pedagogical practices.
