Tool / Process: PD Content Alignment and Prioritisation Matrix – adapted from the OER Africa (2024) CPD Framework for Academics (CC BY-SA). Leaders use this matrix to identify priority professional development topics that align institutional teaching and learning goals with national and global trends.
Core elements:
- Content Domains: list key focus areas from the OER Africa framework (e.g., pedagogy, assessment, curriculum design, digital learning, OER).
- Institutional Alignment: rate relevance to current strategic priorities and teaching challenges.
- External Alignment: note links to national or global developments in higher education.
- Feasibility & Impact: assess available expertise, resources, and expected institutional benefit.
- Priority Ranking: identify top three content areas for immediate development.
