Staff and peer support is available and being utilised by students.
Learning activities support progressively increasing levels of performance.
Staff members act as mentors and critical peers.
Students are developing and demonstrating self-direction and lifelong learning skills
Students can draw on staff and industry experts for guidance.
Pers

The student’s life and work experiences are recognised and used to develop learning activities that build on their previous learning.
Students make some decisions about what and how they learn.
The student’s life and work experiences are recognised and used to develop responsibility for their own learning.
Students make key decisions about what and how to learn.
The student’s strengths, interests and aspirations are elicited and used to personalise learning.
Lear

es
Learning resources support and promote skill acquisition and practice needed for specified learning activities and assessments.
Learning resources include a variety of audio, visual and texts and comply with universal design guidelines for learning.
Learning resources facilitate interaction (e.g. case studies, case examples, simulations).
Learning resources support the development and practice of professional skills such as critical thinking, communication, teamwork, leadership and ethical reasoning appropriate to the discipline.
Audio, visual and text-based learning resources are utilized in the unit’s learning engagement design to build on the needs and interests of the student.
Students are actively involved in developing artefacts and resources that support their own learning and that of others.
Students engage in a wide range of multimodal learning environments.
Activ
ity
Learning activities elicit performance demonstrating learning outcomes and graduate attributes and have clear instructions and expectations for satisfactory as well as exemplary completion.
Engaging activities are augmented (not dominated) by short presentations delivered by learning facilitators or students to scaffold and consolidate learning.
Activities use innovative patterns for student participation and engagement, including activities are actually in, or simulating, the real world activity of a professional.
Activities require sustained effort over time, supported by incremental tasks.
Learning activities are appropriately scaffolded for introduction to material, practicing skills, and performance improvement.
Tasks are based on active learning strategies, including problem-based learning and tasks with depth, complexity, and duration.
Activities address one or more graduate attributes, offer multiple opportunities to practice the skill or knowledge-in-action.
Activities provide means for creating knowledge as well as consolidating and revising ideas; for example, students contribute cases or create activities relevant to their real-life and workplace experiences.

n Networking opportunities with both synchronous
and asynchronous interactions are well-designed to form a learning community.
Collaboration activities reinforce learning outcomes and build workplace skills such as networking, negotiation and cooperation.
Students develop an awareness of other perspectives (global, multicultural and societal).
Students work extensively on collaborative problem-solving tasks (e.g. co-construction of artefacts, reviewing and critiquing work, finding resources, prioritising and making decisions) in both face-to-face and online settings.
Students have opportunities to participate in real-world professional communities related to their potential future employment.
Students develop a global, multicultural and societal perspective via multiple opportunities for global communication and collaboration.
Students work in teams in a workplace setting or on authentic workplace tasks.
Students proactively interact and collaborate with professionals in their field.
Students successfully interact and collaborate in different cultural and societal contexts.
Feed
back
Students are encouraged and assisted to complete self-reflection tasks and are provided with constructive feedback.
Feedback is focused on helping the student improve performance and develop new knowledge.
Feedback involves the individual as well as peers.
Feedback is specific to the performance required and elicited by an assessment that demonstrates knowledge-in-action as well as ‘knowing’.
Feedback measures are situated in real-world scenarios and activities.
Feedback includes individual and group reflection and public sharing.
Feedback opportunities are structured similar to or actually within real-world settings (e.g. performance reviews, peer reviews, public presentations with question and answer sessions, blind reviews, publishing opportunities.
Feedback measures real-life capabilities in authentic settings. Students draw on staff and industry experts for guidance.
Feedback is sought from the learning community and professionals in the field.

Appendix 6: Assessment Matrix
See Appendix 7 for the Unit Assessment Criteria Coding for the Assessment Matrix. The Unit Assessment Matrix provides an analysis of the quality of assessment that is based on the information included in Unit Outlines. The analysis is based on Curtin’s Assessment Principles that underpin assessment policy at Curtin (see Assessment and Student Progression Manual at http://policies.curtin.edu.au). Where possible, the Assessment Principle (AP) has been identified within the Unit and Course Matrices.
Principle 1: Assessment practices will be subject to quality processes Principle 2: Assessment aligns with intended learning outcomes Principle 3: Assessment addresses Curtin graduate attributes Principle 4: Assessment practices have a substantial impact on student learning Principle 5: Assessment provides high quality and timely feedback to students Principle 6: Courses and units include a variety of assessment types Principle 7: Assessment is inclusive and equitable Principle 8: Assessment is valid and reliable Principle 9: Information about assessment is readily available Principle 10: The amount of assessed work is manageable
Type of Assessment:Submission - an assessment task for which the student submits an artefact for evaluation. The artefact may be electronic (text-based, non-text-based or media based) or physical. Assessments in this category are recognised to have low to medium academic integrity depending on the strategies implemented to address assurance of individual student learning and originality of student work. Performance – an assessment task that involves the evaluation of a student performance or demonstration of a skill or competency. The performance may be live or recorded. Assessments in this category are recognised to have medium to high academic integrity depending on the strategies implemented to assure fair and transparent assessment practices through moderation Examination – an assessment conducted under controlled and invigilated conditions. Assessments in this category are recognised to have medium to high academic integrity depending on the nature of invigilation and strategies implemented to assure fair and transparent assessment practices through moderation.

Some assessment marking approaches employ direct observation and/or provide evidence of strategies to assure academic integrity and provide assurance of individual work or originality of work
There are some processes in place to evidence individual students’ contributions to group assessments
The balance of marks required to achieve a pass in this unit are derived from assessments that assure individual learning.

Assessments do not have clearly visible development of Curtin graduate attributes beyond discipline knowledge
Assessments do not resemble tasks performed in the workplace
The audience for assessment tasks is the teacher/assessor only
Assessment tasks use hypothetical scenarios or simulations where tasks are directly related to tasks performed in the workplace but are conducted in an academic format/context
Assessments have an impact on student learning and visible development of Curtin graduate attributes
Assessment activities are tasks that graduates will perform in the workplaceAssessments are conducted in real-life or simulated work settingsThe outputs/outcomes of assessment tasks are created for and/or directly applied to the community/industry to solve real world problems
