The conference was convened by the Lifelong Learning Network, which is a policy research network based at the University of Canberra. Changes taking place in higher education are intimately related to changes taking place in the organisation and practice of staff development in universities both in Australia and internationally. In Australia, in particular, these changes are stimulating discussion about practices and principles underpinning staff development, so that future directions can take into account the needs of this relatively new profession. The author of this paper provides a brief overview of the current issues in staff development and describes an approach adopted by Victoria University, based on some of these principles and practices. The Assessment for Learning Teams (ALTs) project is described to illustrate the process used in the delivery of activities, and conclusions about the nature and scope of staff development are drawn.
