- Summary:
-
The goal of this project has been the development of a robust, well tested benchmarking manual in a common, easy to use format for Australian and other universities. This document is the outcome of a substantial developmental phase over eighteen months, with a wide range of input. Many universities are finding it useful as a significant self-improvement tool, so the decision has been taken to make it widely available. Subsequent versions, based on more extensive use, will no doubt incorporate additional comparative data and improved definitions, enhancing its usefulness, especially for inter-university use.
