Becoming Distinctive: Pathways to the Development of a Distinctive Institutional Identity
Presenter(s): Andrew P. Codling, UNITEC Institute of Technology; Jill M. Yielder, UNITEC Institute of Technology
The session will describe two ways in which the presenters¹ institution went about developing commitment to become a new and distinctive university of technology¹ within a relatively traditional New Zealand higher education system. The first was a campus-wide staff consultation process to identify key characteristics of a university of technology. The second involved asking academic program leaders about domains of learning in professional education programs. Both projects contributed to the vision of a university of technology, and generated a high level of commitment to that vision from staff. |

| Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well. |
