About FAI-PD

The Feedback, Assessment & Integrity for Professional Development (FAI-PD) programme is a professional development initiative at MTU that supports staff in developing effective, student-centred approaches to assessment, feedback and academic integrity. This programme directly supports the SATLE funding theme of developing best practice for academic integrity.

FAI-PD provides opportunities for participants to:

Enhance assessment and feedback practices.
Explore strategies that promote academic integrity.
Respond effectively to the opportunities and challenges of Generative AI in higher education.
Collaborate with colleagues from across disciplines.
Apply evidence-informed approaches to improve student learning and engagement.

The programme builds a supportive community of practice where staff can reflect on their teaching, share experiences, and develop innovative approaches that enhance the student experience.

By enhancing assessment literacy, feedback practice, academic integrity, and digital capability, FAI-PD helps MTU deliver high-quality, student-centred education while supporting key institutional priorities around teaching excellence, student success, and innovation in higher education.
