The 2026 ACODE Benchmarking Summit at the University of Melbourne, is one of our premier events focused on advancing technology-enhanced learning (TEL) within higher education. This summit offers a unique platform for educational leaders, faculty, and industry experts to collaborate, share knowledge, and engage in professional development.
What are the ACODE TEL Benchmarks?
The ACODE TEL Benchmarks are not standards but are designed to complement them, providing institutions with a comprehensive view of their TEL practices. Benchmarking helps institutions understand the extent to which they are applying standards and other measures to maintain quality across their educational offerings. Unlike standards, which operate at the operational level, benchmarking offers a broader, strategic view of TEL performance within the institution.
The ACODE TEL Benchmarks cover the following areas:
- Institution-wide policy and governance for technology-enhanced learning
- Planning for institution-wide quality improvement in TEL
- Information technology systems, services, and support for TEL
- The application of TEL services
- Staff professional development for effective TEL use
- Staff support for TEL integration
- Student training for the effective use of TEL
- Student support for the use of TEL
- Technology-enhanced learning spaces
We are excited to announce the development of the 10th benchmark on Accessibility, which will be unveiled at the 2026 summit.
This bi-annual summit is a must-attend event for anyone wanting to stay ahead of the curve in digital education. We strongly encourage you to attend in person to network with peers, share insights, and explore the latest advancements in TEL.
