The Office for Quality and Educational Development

practices of quality management in order to assist staff
with their efforts to achieve the University's strategic
teaching and learning, and institutional development goals.
QED consists of the following core functions:
the course evaluation system - to survey student and
graduate perceptions of course quality;
the Educational development Unit, to assist the
professional development of teaching staff;
the Quality Unit, to support and develop the
improvement of University's management of its work
processes through the Swinburne Quality Management

Through these functions QED provides a range of
projects, training programs and consultancy services to
help continuously improve the quality of the University's
educational programs, related services and administrative
