About the Panel

COFA Online works closely with academic advisors with different areas of expertise from various Australian institutions during the development of the project. These academics are members of the Project Advisory Panel, and play an important role in helping to maintain the academic integrity of the project, and contribute to its continuing development. The COFA Online project team meets online biannually with the Project Advisory Panel for strategic planning and quality review of the episodes being produced.
