Scholarly activity collecting and reporting

You will need to complete three steps to provide evidence of your scholarly activities.

Step 1

Set your annual objective in PPDR

You'll need to use PPDR Manager to set your annual objective(s). Following the Scholarly Activity Framework, you'll need to include at least one scholarship objective as part of your draft PPDR plan for the following year.

Staff must use the correct category in the PPDR manager to record their goal – this should be recorded under ‘scholarship’ goals, which is available in the drop-down menu for all strategic focus areas. Refer to the Charles Sturt Guidance Note on Scholarly Activity for guidance.

Much like any other PPDR objective, at the start of each new cycle, you’ll need to document and receive Head of School endorsement for:

  • the nature of the activity you plan to undertake and, with reference to the Scholarly Environment Model, the most appropriate of the five scholarly activity categories
  • how you plan to undertake that activity (e.g. peer review, course development, attend and/or present at professional learning events)
  • what artefact(s) will evidence the achievement of the objective
  • when it will be completed by (generally by the next annual PPDR meeting)
  • why is this a priority.

Step 2

Undertake your scholarly activity’

Undertake your scholarly activity in line with the annual scholarship goal that you have set in PPDR. Refer to the Charles Sturt Guidance Note on Scholarly Activity for guidance

Step 3

Reflect and report on completion

At the end of each PPDR cycle, reflect on the completion of your scholarly activity goal in the PPDR manager (TINA).

Add any research outputs associated with your scholarly activity (such as journal articles, chapters, and conference presentations) to the Charles Sturt Research Outputs Repository (CRO).
