The Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (HERDSA) Fellowship Professional Recognition and Development Scheme recognises higher education teaching and supports learning and teaching that satisfies quality standards related to a set of criteria. It then builds on that recognition by designing and implementing advanced professional development activities to ensure that the standards are maintained and built upon.
