Abstract
The quality of teaching in universities has received increased attention over the last two decades as government-mandated accountability mechanisms, such as quality audits, have grown in importance. Governments, students, industry and the broader community now expect universities to provide evidence of the quality of their activities, including teaching and its contribution to successful student outcomes. This chapter explores some of the ways in which these developments influence your work as a teaching academic.
