The Teaching and Learning Group, in the Faculty of Arts, Deakin University, Australia, has successfully implemented Stage One of a Teaching and Learning Database. The database is unique in Deakin, and aims to integrate the core functions of curriculum, unit chair and assessment panel maintenance, academic workloads and quality assurance reporting for the Faculty of Arts. Stage One developments have already replaced many hard-copy forms. The following paper describes the database project, how it was initiated in the Faculty, the options considered, and an illustration of its progress to date. It will also describe the future developments planned for this project during the next six months, developments that will add capabilities to manage academic workloads.
