1. Introduction

2016 was another successful year for HEDC. The department has maintained its publications output

and quality. With 13 more articles already in press for 2017 we are extremely well placed for the next

PBRF round.

Our established postgraduate community is central to HEDC and we have maintained numbers over

the last few years with 29 PhD and Master’s students. In addition, there are another 13 postgraduate

certificate and diploma students to give total postgraduate numbers of 42. We continue to receive

interest from potential students from Otago, New Zealand and throughout the world. This year our

report contains a world map showing HEDC’s international research collaborations.

A number of staff moved on in 2016. I thank them for the time they spent in HEDC and their

contribution to the University. I wish them all well in their new careers. I thank Lynley Deaker, Gala

Hesson, Swee Kin Loke, Jenny McDonald and Adon Moskal.

HEDC appointed a new lecturer and we are delighted to have Julie Timmermans joining us in March

2017.

A survey was done of University of Otago academics who had published in the field of higher

education. Data were collected from the major higher education journals and we found 215 colleagues

with published papers. These are staff outside of HEDC who had mostly done research in the teaching

of their discipline. For all, higher education is a ‘secondary’ field but it shows the level of interest in

the scholarship of teaching and learning at the University, and that academics can be ‘dual subject’

researchers. Many of these staff are regular contributors to HEDC’s ‘Spotlight on Teaching’

conference.
