increased transparency about “next steps” to resolve issues; and
While some issues require local (i.e. program level) solutions, there are also systemic issues that need a whole of institution response.
Colleges are currently in the process of analysing the work of SSCC’s and it was agreed that the DPVCs L&T would report back to the Chair on the actions being undertaken to address the issues outlined in the paper.
2.5 RMIT Statement of Commitment on Child Safety
RMIT is currently in the process of implementing the Action Plan to comply with the Victorian Government Child Safe Standards (the Standards). The Committee noted that Compliance, Regulation and Reporting Group is working with Human Resources on changes to policy in line with the Standards and is meeting with Colleges to discuss obligations and actions.
3 GOVERNANCE
3.1 Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2015 Transition: action plan
The Committee approved the action plan to support transition to the HESF (Threshold Standards) 2015 on 1 Jan 2017. The Committee agreed to monitor progress to ensure completion of actions ahead of January 2017 to capture updates to risk assessment and identification of on‐going activities from 2017. While the Threshold Standards are in effect from 1 January 2017, some activities may be in transition in early 2017. A proposal for a new program review process has been developed and will be shared with the DPVCs L&T. A revised version of the proposal will be tabled at the November meeting.
4 STRATEGIC CONVERSATIONS
4.1 Drivers for improvement to AGS
Members considered the analysis of the five most improved institutions in the Australian Graduate Survey results in light of the following questions:
Are the findings of the ‘most improved’ institutions consistent with your observations about what is occurring nationally?
What other evidence is there to substantiate how these institutions have improved over the past five years?
What are the key take away messages from the investigation about what institutions have done to lift up scores in the CEQ?
What are the implications for RMIT of this competitor activity?
The Committee noted:
Some institutions have made a concerted effort to reduce underperforming programs and do not tolerate poor performing programs;
Positive signalling works well in some institutions – RMIT needs a clearer definition of what an RMIT program is, what makes it distinctive and valuable;
Careers counselling for international students located within the institution’s offshore offices has been a successful strategy;
Addressing the culture of student support is critical (customer care focus), as well as addressing issues of fragmentation;
Short term projects (1 year) do not deliver the type or level of change that is required; and
Projects need to be sustainable.
It was agreed that the DPVCs L&T and Executive Director, Vocational Education would share
the PowerPoint presentation with their Learning & Teaching Committees and Vocational

Education Executive Committee and seek feedback on priorities for 2017 (N.B. this
presentation is confidential and not for wider distribution).
In 2017, an “Education Plan” will be developed,providing an opportunity to identify longer term projects to address the issues identified through continued poor performance in AGS as well as the issues and priorities identified by RUSU. The Committee will have an opportunity to learn more about new projects for 2017 and to discuss other possible longer term projects that should be initiated to drive improved outcomes.

Submission to Education Innovation and Quality Committee
TITLE Validation of the RMIT VE Assessment System
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Key Issues
An independent and external validation of RMIT’s assessment system used in vocational education and training was undertaken in 2016. The scope of the validation encompassed:
1) A review and validation of the existing RMIT Assessment System including approved policy, procedures, instructions and forms; and
2) A review and validation of the completed internal validation documentation and process across five qualifications:
o FNS50215 Diploma of Accounting
o FNS50615 Diploma of Financial Accounting
o FNS50615 Diploma of Financial Planning
o CHC43115 Certificate IV in Disabilities
o CHC33015 - Certificate III in Individual Support
The findings of the validation are outlined in the attached report. The following recommendations were made to improve assessment in vocational education programs:
Recommendation 1 - It is recommended that RMIT enhance the quality policy so that it captures the VET requirements dictated by the regulatory regimes of the VET Quality Framework.
Recommendation 2 - It is recommended that RMIT ensure assessment policies and procedures adequately reflect the VET requirements.
Recommendation 3 - It is recommended that RMIT develop a VET Assessment Procedure, which stipulates the VET specific components that need to be addressed in assessment.
Recommendation 4 - It is recommended that the RMIT VET Assessment Procedure be supported by a series of templates to gain consistency in the implementation of this procedure.
Recommendations
That Education Innovation and Quality Committee:
∑ note the findings of the external validation of RMIT’s vocational education assessment system; and
∑ note that the Engagement and Vocational Education Portfolio is working with key stakeholders to implement the recommendations identified through the validation.

1. Introduction1.1 Validation scope
This report provides an overview of an independent and external validation of the RMIT Vocational Education assessment system. Bernadette Delaney, who is an experienced researcher, training package specialist and auditor in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector, has undertaken this validation.
The scope of this validation process has covered two distinct areas:1) A review and validation of the existing RMIT Assessment System including approved policy, procedures, instructions and forms and2) A review and validation of the completed internal validation documentation and process across five qualifications:
o FNS50215 Diploma of Accountingo FNS50615 Diploma of Financial Accountingo FNS50615 Diploma of Financial Planningo CHC43115 Certificate IV in Disabilitieso CHC33015 - Certificate III in Individual Support
This has included reviewing validation documents, samples of student work, assessment tools and assessment judgements.
1.2 MethodologyThe methodology has consisted of three main stages:
∑ review of policies and documentation for the RMIT assessment system relevant to vocational education and training (VET) and identifying the strengths and areas for improvement in these processes
∑ examination of outcomes of validation sessions of five qualifications –completion of RMIT Validation Forms, assessment tools and sample of students work
∑ synthesis of findings and presenting recommendations in a report.
Appendix A Documentation reviewed provides a comprehensive review of policies, instructions and forms pertinent to VET assessment at RMIT.Appendix B Sample qualifications reviewed provides details and analysis of fivequalifications and a review of validation documents.
2. Validation context2.1 RMIT
RMIT University is one of the oldest universities in Australia with international and national delivery of programs on many campuses but primarily based in Melbourne, Victoria. In 2015 there were 83,000 students enrolled with approximately 15,179
25
Independent Validation of RMIT Assessment System Page 5 of 40
students are undertaking Vocational education and training (VET) programs.1 There are seventeen schools grouped into three colleges. The Academic Board, established under the RMIT Act 2010, is responsible for recommending new programs, regulations and policy to Council and for establishing procedures related to both higher education and vocational education. The Academic Board has established the Vocational Education Committee.
The University has an international reputation for excellence in professional and vocational education, applied and innovative research, and engagement with the needs of industry and the community. Programs offered include postgraduate, undergraduate and vocational programs, enabling students to have the option of work-relevant pathways between vocational and higher education qualifications.
2.2 Quality assurance
RMIT has an organizational wide Quality Policy covering all activities in higher education and VET programs. Quality assurance, external regulation and compliance, in the RMIT quality policy are the responsibility of all organizationalareas and staff across the RMIT Group. Staff are responsible for meeting their specific responsibilities and accountabilities as identified in policies and procedures, role statements or position descriptions.
As a multi sector institution RMIT ‘s approach to quality is responsive to several key legislative frameworks and standards including:
∑ The Higher Education Support Act 2003 (cl 19 C The Quality Requirements) and related Guidelines
∑ The Higher Education Standards Framework 2011 made under the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011
∑ The VET Quality Framework and Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 made under the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011
∑ The National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students made under the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000
∑ The Australian Qualifications Framework 2013∑ Contractual requirements under the Victorian Training Guarantee
Quality processes related to education and training are increasingly linked to funding at the state level and driven by the Victorian Training Guarantee Quality Charter. This Charter emphasizes many of the quality measures that are in the regulatory standards.

2.3 Assessment system in VET
According to the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 an assessment system is defined as:
Assessment system is a coordinated set of documented policies and procedures (including assessment materials and tools) that ensure assessments are consistent and are based on the Principles of Assessment contained in Table 1.8-1 and the Rules of Evidence contained in Table 1.8-2.
An assessment system in a VET educational institution includes:∑ policies and procedures on planning, developing conducting of
assessment ∑ suitability and ongoing professional development of assessors ∑ procedures relating to record-keeping and storage arrangements and to
the issuing of qualifications ∑ resources to support the assessors, candidates and assessments ∑ quality management and evaluation systems.2
The SRTOs2015 regulatory standards guide the quality and implementation of an assessment system by emphasizing the importance of:
∑ consistency of assessment strategies and practices with training packages and curriculum ( clause 1.1, 1.8)
∑ appropriate resources (human, support services, learning, facilities) that are consistent with assessment strategies (clause 1.3)
∑ Industry relevance and consultation about assessment strategies andassessor currency and skills ( clause 1.4)
∑ conducting assessment according to the Principles of Assessment contained in Table 1.8-1 and the Rules of Evidence (clause 1.8)
∑ recognition of prior learning (RPL) as a form of assessment (clauses 1.8, 1.12)
∑ validation (clauses 1.9 -1.11, 1.25)∑ appropriately qualified assessors ( clauses 1.13 -1.16)
Assessment in the VET sector has unique requirements as it is expected that:∑ prescriptive rules about the collection of evidence and the principles of
assessment guide the design and conduct of the assessment process∑ graduates of VET programs have the required competencies for a job role
and there is national consistency across the qualification in the quality of assessment
2 DETYA (2001) Quality assurance guide for assessment p12
27
Independent Validation of RMIT Assessment System Page 7 of 40
∑ assessment meets the standard set by industry, as reflected in the training package and industry consultation and
∑ trainers and assessors have the capability to assess appropriately.3
2.4 Implementation of VET assessment
Assessment has been at the forefront of VET policy debates for governments, training providers and industry stakeholders. The VET system is industry driven with high expectations from employers about the types of skills graduates will possess and the assessment system is integrally bound up with these expectations.
The quality of assessment in VET is also an ongoing concern of regulatory and funding bodies.4 These concerns encompass a range of factors such as the validity of assessment; the appropriate design of assessment tools and related strategies; the adequacy of practical assessment tasks to demonstrate skills and applied knowledge and the skills of assessors to design and conduct assessment. Such is the concern that both commonwealth and state bodies rigorously audit assessment systems and individual course assessment strategies, tools and methods.
In contrast, assessment in higher education is based on professional judgement and individual approaches from academic teachers. It does not have a prescriptiveapproach based on industry standards, training packages and conditions under which assessment can be conducted.
3. Findings and recommendations3.1 Quality AssuranceRMIT has a suite of policies and procedures that guide the assessment system. Underlying the assessment system is an approach to quality which references the VET Quality Framework and Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 and The Australian Qualifications Framework 2013 which are both pertinent to the quality of VET assessment.
The quality policy refers to reviews and compliance but does not explicitly indicate provisions that need to occur in VET programs to ensure quality and compliance. There were indications in the independent validation through the qualifications sampled that the approach to the quality of assessment in VET programs could improve in its implementation.

Recommendation 1It is recommended that RMIT enhance the quality policy so that it captures the VET requirements dictated by the regulatory regimes of the VET Quality Framework.
Program and course approval and review processes meet formal internal and external audit requirements. The quality of programs and courses at RMIT are managed from the planning stage through to the review stage via the Program and course life-cycle policy.
All program components, including assessment, are developed and reviewed in consultation with relevant stakeholders through Program Advisory Committees. These are particularly important in the VET sector to ensure ongoing, substantial and realistic feedback on assessment strategies, methods and practices.
3.2 RMIT VET Assessment SystemThe RMIT assessment system is clearly articulated through policies and proceduresaccessible to staff and students on the website. RMIT has a university wide assessment policy. This main assessment policy is supported by procedures and instructions, relevant to VET as listed below:
∑ Assessment policyo Assessment: course assessment committees and program
assessment boards procedureo Assessment: adjustments to assessment procedureo Assessment – conduct of assessment and appeals procedureo Assessment moderation and validation procedureo Moderation of assessment – higher education and vocational
education and training instructiono Recognition of Prior Learning and Recognition of current
competency procedureso VET Recognition of Prior Learning assessment instructiono Credit at RMIT
These policies and procedures clearly identify guiding principles, related procedures and staff responsibilities and provide high-level guidance about assessment. However, even when referencing VET, assessment policies and procedures often stress an ‘academic ‘ approach to assessment and did not sufficiently include VET specific concerns. In the Assessment policy for example, the term “Assessment principles” has a different, recognised meaning in the VET sector, which could cause confusion. Course Assessment Committees and Program Assessment Boards procedures and instructions require an increased emphasis on VET requirements.Appendix A provides some guidance on suggested changes.
29
Independent Validation of RMIT Assessment System Page 9 of 40
Recommendation 2It is recommended that RMIT ensure assessment policies and procedures adequately reflect the VET requirements.
As indicated above, the VET system dictates a much more prescriptive approach to assessment. In an organisation consistency with the VET Assessment system has to be explicitly established through a process of:
∑ following organisational policies and procedures∑ interpreting a training package∑ devising an assessment strategy & industry consultation∑ Identifying appropriate resources, including trained and qualified
assessors∑ devising appropriately constructed assessment tools∑ administering assessment tools according to prescribed conditions∑ moderation and validation∑ professional development∑ retaining evidence of assessment outcomes and student work∑ recording results.

Assessment in the VET sector is significantly different from the higher education sector with its emphasis on the demonstration of competency and the strict adherence to training packages standards. There are a multitude of processes that need to be understood and applied by assessors and these require a significant skill level. The development and conducting of assessment by assessors is expected to consider questions of the validity, sufficiency, currency and authenticity of the evidence they are using5. All of this means that there are prescriptive ways to implement assessment in VET which is spelt out in broad terms in the standards but requires individual RTOs to support the implementation of their own assessment system through consistent advice and assistance.
Recommendation 3It is recommended that RMIT develop a VET Assessment Procedure, which stipulates the VET specific components that need to be addressed in assessment.
3.3 Supporting documentsThis independent validation has found that assessment support resources need to be reviewed and further developed to improve consistency across VET programsand accessibility for teachers. Many sample documents presented were not of a good quality in terms of presentation and accessibility. The assessment tools did not consistently and comprehensively meet the principles of assessment and the rules of evidence. The majority of assessments did not have clearly established and communicated criteria for identifying acceptable performance. All of the assessments could improve the instructions to the student and the assessor about the purpose and requirements of assessment tasks. Generally, the tasks themselves were clearly written. In several examples, the rules of evidence were not met, as the assessment methods used would not result in sufficient evidence to determine competence.
Supporting documents for assessment from the planning stage to the recording stage should be reviewed or developed in line with comments in Appendix A as well as including:
Training and Assessment Strategy This document is not easily accessible for either an auditor or as a teacher’s planning tool. It is repetitive and needs to be more succinct with a logical structure such as qualification overview, program resources, program delivery and assessment and program review. The strategy, methods and scheduling of assessment needs to be represented in a clear format on this document. Industry input into assessment also should be recorded.

Independent Validation of RMIT Assessment System Page 11 of 40
Mapping documentA mapping template for assessment that maps the tasks and methods to the unit can be beneficial to check the sufficiency of unit coverage. There was little evidence in the validation samples of including Foundation Skills in mapping. These skills are not emphasised at the moment but it is highly likely they will be in the future. Refer Appendix C for a sample mapping approach.
Assessment ToolsThere are no templates to guide assessors on how to construct and present a compliant assessment tool. This independent evaluation demonstrated that assessment tools are not well set out and would benefit from better structure and guidance.
TAFE RPL FormIn this independent evaluation, RPL tools and processes were not of a satisfactory quality, which suggests further guidance is required for the assessors to develop appropriate procedures, processes and tools. Templates could include and a RPL application form and a RPL assessment tool template.
Validation formsTemplates have been developed for the validation process. Further questions on the suitability of the assessment tools and whether sufficient evidence is gathered would strengthen these templates.
Staff matrixThe current staff matrix is not easily accessible and needs better structure and guidelines to encourage staff to demonstrate their qualification, experience and ongoing professional development more adequately and to provide evidence that they are appropriate assessors.
Recommendation 4It is recommended that the RMIT VET Assessment Procedure be supported by a series of templates to gain consistency in the implementation of this procedure.

Assessment PrinciplesPolicy provision 1. The term “Assessment principles” have a different recognised meaning in the VET sector which could be confusing with assessment principles hereProgram Advisory CommitteesThese are important in VET by gaining industry input into assessment.
Gaps These points should be added to the Assessment Policy to ensure VET relevance:
∑ Assessment is integral to the issuing of Australian Qualification Framework qualifications
∑ Assessment is derived from curriculum and training packages and this should be made explicit as it is so fundamental in VET to follow qualification & training package requirements
∑ Assessment (in VET) is mapped to the Assessment Requirements and Units of Competency of Training Packages or accredited curriculum (1.1)
∑ Refers to but does not use the VET term ‘reasonable adjustment’ (1.6 d)
∑ Definition of training packages could identify components especially ‘assessment requirements’.
∑ Does not define evidence

2. Assessment: adjustments to assessment procedure
Good mechanism to determine those eligible for reasonable adjustmentUse of Course Assessment Committees for supplementary assessmentsManagement by Disability Liaison Unit.Clear mechanisms outlined
Competency Based AssessmentConsideration could be given to indicate VET Assessment allows competence based assessment to be not limited- 1.3.1 failed to demonstrate competency in an assessment in a competency-based VET program and the Training Package requires that students be given further opportunities to demonstrate competency.
3. Assessment – conduct of assessment and appeals procedure

5. Course assessment committee instruction
Outlines in details operational aspects –results; review of marks and grades; quality processes for examinations; prizes and results.Clear procedures for organisation & conduct of meetings
The assessment committee role is higher education focussed and does not cover VET specific concerns, that could be addressed by a Course Assessment Committee (Procedure: “course assessment committees are established to monitor, manage and approve the assessment and student outcomes in individual courses”) such as industry and expert input into assessment strategies; effective ways to conduct competency based assessment; resources for the effective conduct of competency based assessment (staff, facilities, equipment) and contextual issues impacting on assessment arrangements (eg workplace and online assessment).
6. Program assessment board instruction
Provides detail on monitoring unsatisfactory progress.Provides details including an action plan for students at risk.

Definitions clear. There is not satisfactory inclusion that in VET RPL is a ‘supported’ process to be facilitated and not “The onus is on the student to demonstrate that credit should be granted on the basis of RPL.”RPL is conducted using a RPL assessment tool constructed as other assessment tools.
11. Recognition of Prior Learning Assessment Instruction
Broad guidelines only. Following aspects need further details to be provided to offer guidance to the student and assessor-Identifying the evidence required – should include further instructions in relation to training packages or accredited curriculum3.1 Student identifies units of competency for RPL – student is to be supported in RPL application. Units of competency need to be presented in an Application Form with suggestions about the types of evidence that is acceptable. Potential students cannot unpack units of competency.3.2 RPL assessors conduct a professional conversation with the RPL students. There needs to be a structure for this conversation via details on RPL applicant.Decision making rules to be included.
12. Credit at RMIT Refers to a time limit of 10 years on credit transfer. This is not relevant to VET. Credit is granted according to SRTOs2015 -3.5. The RTO accepts and provides credit to learners for units of competency and/or modules (unless licensing or regulatory requirements prevent this) where these are evidenced by: a) AQF certification documentation issued by any other RTO or AQF authorised issuing organisation; or b) authenticated VET

Good comprehensive overview. This could be incorporated into instructions for completing TAS for VET.
18.1 RMIT Quality Policy 1. This policy sets out RMIT’s approach to assuring the quality of its activities.
1. Quality in the VET sector is very focussed on the quality of training, learning and assessment as well as information for the student. This needs to be explicitly stated as ‘oversight of academic quality’ (3h (i) ) does not adequately describe the VET requirements. Some of this is indicated in the VE Compliance instructions but this is not referred to in the Quality Policy.
2. References:VET Quality Framework and Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 made under the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011The Australian Qualifications Framework 2013
2. ReferencesQuality in the VET sector should also include reference to the Victorian Training Guarantee Quality Charter, which reiterates quality requirements expected in Victoria and related to the funding requirements.
3. Continuous quality improvement is supported through a cycle of “Plan, Implement, Review, Improve”, embedded within RMIT’s planning and management

It applies to individuals who use specialised knowledge and analytical skills to manage complex financial data and develop comprehensive organisational reports.Summary comments Independent validator has some consistent findings with the validation team in relation to student
information and assessment criteria, the marking guide and assessor information. However, the validator found the level of detail from the validation team is insufficient and does not reflect a thorough validation.These areas need to improve in assessment process and documents:
∑ Completion of all forms and Improved recording of unit codes and titles∑ Mapping indicates units are not sufficiently covered∑ Assessment criteria and decision making rules for students and assessors∑ Performance requirements to be addressed through a variety of methods∑ Insufficient evidence gathered for two units of competency∑ Assessment 3 would gather insufficient evidence∑ RPL tools inadequately designed and provide insufficient guidance to the applicant and the
assessor∑ Marking guide and staff matrix needs review.

TITLE Vietnam SLA – Educational Services Schedule (draft)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Key Issues
The Educational and Administrative Services Agreement between RMIT and RIUV Ltd (Vietnam SLA) is due for renewal by the end of 2016. In the past 5 years of the current Vietnam SLA a number of significant changes have occurred in both Vietnam and Melbourne which change the focus of the service relationship between the two entities.
The attached document details the draft Educational Services schedule (Schedule 2) proposed for a renewed 5 year Vietnam SLA. The review and revision of this schedule has been sponsored by the Vietnam-Melbourne Working Group, chaired by the DVC Global Development and coordinated by the Global Development portfolio. Input has been provided by the Vice President Academic (RMIT Vietnam), the Education Portfolio (including the Academic Registrar’s Group) and the Research and Innovation Portfolio.
As well as renewing detail of each of the Service categories to better reflect current and future service realities, the revised schedule also adjusts the focus of the schedule from “service provided” (by Melbourne to Vietnam) to describing the “service relationship” (between Melbourne and Vietnam) in relation to ‘must have’ services.
The Vietnam SLA includes provision for annual review of schedules and services.
Recommendations
The Education Innovation and Quality Committee is requested to review and endorse the proposed Vietnam SLA Educational Services schedule.
Timing of Decisions
New Vietnam SLA is due for signing by the end of 2016.
Further Information
The Vietnam SLA also includes schedules relating to Administrative Services (areas covered by the Global Development, Engagement & Vocational Education, Finance, Resources portfolios) and to the Fee structures underpinning service delivery. The complete proposed Vietnam SLA will be subject to consideration by the Vice-Chancellor’s Executive (VCE) prior to signing.
Communication and Confidentiality
The completed, approved SLA will be published by the end of the year and communicated to stakeholders.

TITLE Academic Integrity: Contemporary Issues, Challenges and Developments
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Key Issues
Academic integrity underpins standards in both staff and student intellectual endeavor as well as shaping students’ intellectual behaviour. This paper explores the contemporary issues facing higher education providers and the changing nature of academic integrity. Contract cheating has been singled out, by TEQSA, as requiring special attention as cheating takes on a perceived unbeatable character. Best practice, as demonstrated through the example of Curtin University and the University of Sydney, applieseducation of staff and students as the most effective initiative to managing new threats to integrity. Whilst RMIT is reviewing its policy and procedures, that govern academic integrity through student learning, it is essential that reference to contract cheating be made explicit to staff and students. In addition to this developing opportunities for staff and students to undertake respective responsibility is requisite to practice. And finally, exploring new technologies and initiatives to deter plagiarism and breaches in academic integrity require imagination, tenacity and a whole of university approach.
Recommendations
Education, Innovation and Quality Committee is asked to discuss the following points and recommendations:
a) The challenge that RMIT faces regarding contract cheating and the need to explicitly refer to this in future assessment and student conduct policy as part of making visible both the nature of the behaviour and the challenge it poses to academic integrity.
b) The launch of a central staff and student guide to coincide with the new Student Conduct Policy and Procedure and the new Assessment Policy and Procedure.
c) In the sector best practice on identifying and managing academic integrity focuses on educating students and supporting ongoing understanding and that RMIT is to shift towards a model of explicit support including an induction for students in the first 60 days of enrolment.
d) As part of addressing new challenges RMIT will need to explore investigative and innovative approaches in manging the issue of contract cheating. New technologies and or enquiries on deterrence and or managing academic integrity will be necessary.

Academic integrity: contemporary issues challenges and developments
Introduction
Academic integrity underpins standards in both staff and student intellectual endeavour. The way in which it has come to be described and applied, in universities, has been framed by ideas such as ethics and morality, as a person-centred phenomenon, and copyright and intellectual property, as a legal delimitation. It is essentially about the honest representation of ideas, accurate attribution of those ideas and behaviours commensurate with trustworthiness.
Practicing academic integrity is twofold, in that it shapes students’ intellectual behaviour and also ensures that formally created ideas are given the requisite recognition to successfully drive intellectual existence, which is the practice basis of a university. But it is also about the choices that individuals make about how they represent work attributed to their own efforts.
To acquire an education, or more specifically a credential, is to demonstrate evidence of learning, which necessitates the creation of artefacts for assessment. This process inevitably requires the marshalling of existing ideas to shape a unique expression around a problem statement of sorts. Assessing the value and standard of that expression is then done by a variety of disciplinary approaches and associated experience articulated by educators. Supporting students through the cultural meaning of academic integrity can take many forms and includes techniques such as policies and procedures, diversifying assessment practice, designing learning experiences that embed assessment authentically, guiding and advising students on academic expectations, valuing originality, text matching software, exam invigilation, and numerous other practices. Overall the practice is either one that trains students or elegantly introduces them to integrity as a core feature of being an educated person.
What is clear is that universities have a duty of care and an obligation to support students through intellectual development. They also have a wider responsibility, to the community, to ensure that standards in academic practice are comparable with the traditional expectation that a university education develops attributes of noble-mindedness.
Today’s context
In recent times academic integrity has been grappling with the challenge of easier access to assessment and assignment services through online pay-for services. Contract cheating has attracted the attention of Fairfax (2014), with its investigative reporting, and also TEQSA who recognise the escalating problem of online essay mills (QAA 2016). Services on offer from these companies range from writing a paper for an assignment through to the production of an entire Ph.D. (see Figure 1). It also includes services such as taking online exams and quizzes and even engaging in forum discussions (see figure 2), which create a learning trail in a learning management system for those universities who are tracking student engagement and achievement as part of analyses of covariance. This service, in particular, can provide a cheat’s way of showing effort leading to purchased high standards of achievement. In today’s context a student is able to purchase learner behaviours atop of learner outcomes. And for those wishing to skip the entire university experience fake testamur services, replete with transcripts are available (see figure 3). These however are less connected to
70
academic integrity practice and more of a concern for employers and graduate study providers who require reliable qualification assurance processes as way of detecting fraud.

Inevitably, a transaction requires students to share private details such as IDs, passwords and payment details. Information that universities encrypt and fiercely protect are not only loosely secured but can also act as evidence for alleged academic integrity breaches. In the 2014 Fairfax investigation, of the MyMaster assignment writing service, student details were easily hacked and institutions and individuals were identified (and details of individuals were passed on to universities). Despite the clear intention of contract cheating services, to provide assignment writing services (see figure 4), the onus is always on the student, the purchaser. This is because contract cheating companies stand by assertions that they are merely providing insight into how an assignment could be tackled and that any use of produced work should always be cited accordingly. This in itself can raise questions about the level of support that students are seeking and or the expectation of greater guidance in assessment.
One of the issues that has not been fully raised is that contract cheating requires an investigation into who the writers of assignments and or exam takers are. Contract cheating companies brag that the freelancers they engage include graduates from prestigious universities and include university level teachers. A claim that would certainly require testing but if true opens up a whole new level of academic integrity.

Today’s context of digital and online markets means that the barriers to setting up online services are low. This has literally led to the advancement of myriad companies offering evidence-of-learningservices to students, which has overwhelmed universities. Worryingly, this proliferation may have also altered the attitudes of some students who, with competing priorities of working, learning and lifestyling may see such services as no different to copying and sharing digital products such as music, computer games and movies. In the same way as piracy is not theft outsourcing one’s tasks may be seen as part of the gig economy.
Contract cheating has shifted the academic integrity paradigm. Traditional teaching practice in detecting plagiarism has predominantly homed in on copy-and-paste text reproduction. Technologies like Turnitin, a text-matching tool which RMIT has integrated into its Learning Management System (LMS), have been used to manage plagiarism; and in fact are essential to broadly managing academic integrity. The trouble with contract cheating services is that the work produced is unique. It thus subverts traditional approaches to identification of breaches to academic integrity, and so modern techniques, initiatives and approaches are urgently needed. Universities are trialing a number of detection and investigation approaches and it is likely that these practices need to be shared as part of a wider contextualization of what works and what doesn’t.
Universities Australia is focusing on the development of a draft code of practice that will align with legislative and TEQSA requirements, which will go some way to bringing a common interpretation across the sector. And although this will be useful, universities, but more specifically educators, find themselves detecting and managing academic integrity in a less certain environment. The diversification of cheating has grown to such an extent that there is possibly a need for new laws to be drawn up to reshape trading standards to make it harder to sell learning outcomes and behaviours.
TEQSA frameworkAssessing best practice in learning and teaching includes approaches of alignment with regulatory requirements, comparing oneself to peers, investigating common assumptions and reflecting back on one’s own practice in the context of policy, procedure and community of practice. As part of provider re-registration and program accreditation TEQSA pays particular attention to academic integrity. During reviews alignment with regulatory standards of policy, procedure and practice is considered. In a report focusing on contract cheating and academic integrity TEQSA noted that in the last decade universities had invested in -
1. Strengthening corporate and academic governance of student academic integrity2. Appropriate policies and procedures3. Staff development
73
4. Assessment design5. Student activities to promote academic integrity
TEQSA 2015
Approaches taken by other institutions
University of SydneyThe University of Sydney take a two-fold approach to academic integrity in that: 1) a Task Force Working Party was established to investigate academic dishonesty and misconduct including exploring preventative approaches; and 2) a developmental approach was taken which has resulted in the following measures.
1. All award undergraduate and postgraduate coursework to embed an academic honesty induction in an early assessment.
2. That each course coordinator evaluates the assessment design of a course and reflects on whole of cohort student performance through the lens of academic integrity. A formal plan, monitored by Faculty is established each year as part of quality and standards.
3. Establishing central records, accessible across the university, to provide a joined-up approach to both acting on academic misconduct and also providing data for interpreting the emergent issues associated with maintaining standards and also supporting students by identifying risks and mitigating these - educationally.
4. Proposal to establish, in the Education Portfolio, an “office of educational integrity” (University of Sydney, Academic Misconduct and Plagiarism Task Force, 2016). It is suggested that the office would centralize academic integrity matters.
5. Changes in policy and procedure to establish best practice approaches in practice and detection. Recommendations such as, course assessments being changed out for each cycle they run (from a catalogue of assessments) through to expectation on baseline implementation of technologies such as Turnitin. There is however considerable understanding that disciplines have different challenges but at the same time it is expected that disciplines identify best practice for detection and management of academic integrity and plagiarism that is fit for the context.
Curtin UniversityCurtin University aligns academic integrity with the value of its brand by framing it within its 5 values of integrity, respect, courage, excellence and impact. Essentially it underscores that society has an expectation of it [Curtin University] when it comes to scholarly enterprise and that behaviours of the highest standard are requisite for both staff and students. In particular Curtin University has carefully designed its guidance activities around the overt standards built into its policies. Using the processes of compliance built into those policies and procedures it takes a thoughtful and supportive approach through awareness raising and guidance giving. In addition, Curtin has taken the stance that not all plagiarism is intentional. This establishes a non-confrontational first principle when managing plagiarism and it is inevitable that both staff and students will be more likely to engage in educative responses in potential detections.
1. In 2014 Curtin took the decision to review its policies and practices in academic integrity as a way of establishing consistency of practice across the whole of the university.
74
2. This resulted in a requirement that each school should provide a course, for its suite of programs, that introduces new students to the condition of integrity in academic endeavour. In addition to the course it is expected that all teaching staff continually refer to academic integrity within the context of curriculum expectations and as part of the repertoire of teaching techniques. Embedding expectation is considered an ongoing contributor to student education.
3. Plagiarism was defined as having three significant levels, which would enable staff and students to understand what the responsibilities, actions and outcomes could/would be.
4. Staff roles and associated accountabilities were made explicit. Four distinct roles were identified; 1) lecturer, tutor or marker (in a position to detect academic misconduct); 2) unit coordinator (instrumental in managing academic integrity); 3) authorised officer and inquiry officer (principally positioned to investigate); and 4) HDR supervisor or chair of thesis committee (can both detect and manage academic integrity). Recognising the roles and responsibilities of roles made guiding staff more straightforward.
Office for Learning and Teaching ProjectOver the past six years the Office of Learning and Teaching (OLT and formerly ALTC) have invested in a number of projects to ascertain the scope of the challenge that academic integrity has posed to modern practice in learning and teaching. OLT’s support of this project is based on the understanding that academic integrity is inextricably linked to quality and standards in student learning and academic practice. It is also central to the trust that communities have in university credentialing processes. The development of resources, frameworks and recommendations for universities and practitioners, then, is to stay abreast of best practice. The scope, as demonstrated by financial investment in OLT (and formerly ALTC) projects has been broadly defined by the following foci:
1. student responsibility2. teaching and assessment3. implementing policy4. designing policy
(Supporting Academic Integrity, OLT, 2015)
RMIT Approach
RMIT’s approach to academic integrity is governed by policy and procedure and interpretation of these is done at the local level, meaning there can be variance in practice across programs, schools and colleges. In addition, staff and student resources are developed to support both general and local interpretations, which is not straightforward. In 2015 a working party was established to review academic integrity, which identified a number of key issues that included:
1. a need for academic development for staff to support academic integrity as holistic experience in the student lifecycle
2. a need to have a compliance dimension running through academic integrity to give greater visibility to practice at the central level
3. a need to provide advice, recognition and initiatives for acknowledging and targeting contract cheating
4. a staff and student guide for academic integrity5. an educationally focused induction for staff and students to understand accountability6. a need to have reviewed and renewed both the assessment policy and procedure and the
student conduct policy and procedure to be endorsed
75
NB: It is important to note that the aforementioned policy and procedures are still in flux, which has a bearing on the release of developed guides for staff and students as it will require exacting wording.
As such the following recommendations are made.
Recommendations and Next Steps
It is indisputable that the entire sector needs to take action on the issues arising out of new and or more accessible and affordable breaches to academic integrity. Although there is a need to find innovative ways to tackle contract cheating there are still traditional best practice approaches that provide universities with a practical response that supports both staff and students. It is important to bear in mind that cheating is not a new behaviour. Graduate attributes are an outcome that students journey towards through their learning and it is precisely that journey that should indicate, to students, what is right and wrong regarding professional and ethical conduct. And so, RMIT needs to focus on practical strategies that are both attainable and within the scope of a learning and teaching context. Although these are not foolproof they are framed within the processes and practices that enable a best scenario outcome for RMIT. The following recommendations are presented and should be seen as an interrelated but diverse approach.
Policy a. RMIT’s assessment policy needs to include specific reference to contract cheating in its
upcoming rebooted Assessment Policy. Making explicit, to students, the understanding that RMIT is aware of contract cheating is important to establishing this as part of its academic integrity standards. In addition to this it recommended that students declare that no third party has either in part or in whole contributed to the creation of the assessment being submitted.
b. Courses should not run the same assessment twice either in the same year or in the following year. Assessments should be routinely adapted so that they differ from year to year.
Professional development and building capacity in staffa. Staff at RMIT are routinely required to undertake compliance modules every two years.
None of these modules specifically relate to core business practice, that is, learning and teaching. It is evident that the new breed of cheating requires awareness raising for those who detect and manage academic integrity. A compliance module for staff would provide a minimum standard in addressing both changes affecting the sector and also core responsibilities and practices for detection and management.
b. Assessment design and practice are the core activity for evidencing student learning. Regular forums and workshops throughout the year could be held for staff both centrally and more locally (colleges, schools, programs) to build capacity in the diversification of assessment practice. Specifically, program teams should take on a more active role in supporting the development of best practice in assessment design.
c. Education of program managers on academic integrity and the management of programs to uphold the values of academic integrity.
76
Education for students new to RMIT
As evidenced at other universities, and recommended by TEQSA, education is at the heart of building academic integrity. It still remains the most positive and effective way to establish expectations about standards, integrity and ethics. It is also an approach that applies duty of care to students’ intellectual and behavioral capability development.
There is however, a need to take a twofold approach in that; 1) a compulsory (online) module for new students, optimally taken in the first semester, informs them early of what is required for successful engagement with learning and personal development. At RMIT the Education Portfolio, led by the Library, is set to drive this initiative in 2017 and the development of a compulsory module as part of the first 60 days (F60D) of enrolment is being scoped.
And 2) an ongoing and embedded approach to education where students learn the nuances of doing the right thing, in the context of the discipline, through participation in formative and summative learning. It is widely accepted that most students are good citizens and that some of those may inadvertently make mistakes with regards to academic integrity, and so there is a need for RMIT’s educators to continually support understanding by aligning academic standards with the learning design and delivery.
It should also be noted that RMIT University is one of 40 Australasian universities who are collaborating to introduce online provision and online verification of transcripts and testamurs, to improve the integrity of awards. This initiative is being led by the Academic Registrar.
Staying ahead of the cheats
Cheating is a way of being for some people and it is safe to say that all walks of life encounter individuals and groups attempting to get ahead by unethical means. For a modern university staying abreast of new technologies is necessary. Emerging solutions can propose a new way of dealing with contract cheats such as the start-up Cadmus, developed by two Melbourne University postgraduates. Cadmus is software being trialed at Melbourne University and it takes an integrated approach comprising:
Students log in to a university system and authenticate their identity The assessment is then written and assembled in the software. During this time advanced
analytics evaluates actions such as typing behaviour to establish a norm and then starts to identify deviations from that norm.
Actions such as copy and paste, which are not necessarily a cheating action, are prompted with advice and support on citation.
Although this type of software is likely to be perceived as both invasive and inconvenient, with regard to the student experience, it certainly holds promise as an innovation that could detect contract cheating.
In the meantime, however, a practical approach to managing die-hard cheats is to create a central database of academic integrity breaches. RMIT does not currently manage this information centrally and so, analysing trends and patterns is not part of practice. Being able to understand the variables and context for breaches would enable a more effective strategy for identifying and managing academic integrity. In addition, colleges, schools and program teams would be able to identify
77
whether a case of a breach was a one-off or a case of serial cheating. Program teams could then make informed judgments on how to manage a student.
And finally, academic integrity is an ongoing practice that requires ongoing attention and ideas to ensure that standards are conveyed and maintained. It is also a whole of university activity whereby leadership and collaboration from all parts of the community is needed. And most notably it is located within programs and program team responses to the identification and management of breaches and behaviours and in the education of students to support their development as graduates of RMIT’s programs of learning,

Submission to Education Innovation and Quality Committee
TITLE Program Innovation Initiative - Selection and Concept Design Phase
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Key Issues
In 2016 the Learning and Teaching Innovation Initiative worked with 10 early adopter programs to provide proof of concept of a process to support evidence-informed program innovation. Learnings from the initiative include acknowledgement that some programs require a functional response to improving curriculum before being ready to innovate. It is recommended that a transparent process be established by which programs are identified and selected into the innovation stream. This paper presents a case for Program selection and provides details about the Concept Design Phase to support ongoing program innovation at RMIT.
The EOI and the Program Innovation Concept Design process have been developed by representatives from all three College Academic Development Groups, with in principle support from the three DPVCs, L&T.
Recommendations
That Education Innovation & Quality Committee approves the process for program innovation as outlined in the Concept Design Phase.
Timing of Decisions
To ensure a timely process of Program selection for 2017 the Education Innovation & Quality committee is asked to approve this at the November meeting.
Further Information
See attached draft EOI, Concept Design Phase diagram, and Program Innovation Design Blueprint.
Communication and Confidentiality
This paper is not confidential. The outcome should be communicated to the PVCs and Heads of School.
REMAINDER OF PAPER
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
An update on the Innovation Initiative was provided to Education Committee at the July 2016 meeting and the Innovation Initiative was invited to update the Committee in November.
DISCUSSION/RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Addressing the University Strategic goal of a transformative student experience, the Program Innovation Initiative - Selection and Concept Design Phase describes a process for the selection of programs to undertake innovative transformation (see Appendix 2 Program Innovation Initiative: Expression of Interest (EOI) & Concept Design Phase). At Step 1 programs will be identified by the School, College or Education, Innovation and Quality Committee via review of the University dashboard. Program teams can also self-identify. This process can be triggered at any stage during
80
Page 2 of 2
the year, but is most likely to emerge following the Quality ARC or comprehensive review.
An EOI is produced by the program team (see draft EOI Appendix 1) which indicates the program’s readiness for change. EOIs will be endorsed by the Executive Dean/HoS, Deputy Dean, L&T and DPVC, L&T. The EOI will be reviewed by a COP Reference Group to decide appropriate action -either proceeding to the Design Phase or undertaking further work supported by the College ADG.
The Design Phase (Step 4) is detailed in the Program Innovation Design Blueprint. This phase, lasting approximately three-months, will be managed by RMIT Studios. At the completion of this phase an ROI scorecard of benefits will be provided and a decision to support to the production phase made. Decision to proceed will be endorsed by the relevant School L&T Committee, College Executive and Education Innovation & Quality Committee.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The proposed model for Program Innovation Selection and Concept Design will have financial implications for Schools (to support release of teaching staff to work on the design), Colleges (to support the Reference Group and potential ongoing work with program teams that do not proceed immediately to the Design Phase) and RMIT Studios (to lead and undertake the design process).

Program Innovation Expression of Interest (EOI)
Aim
The aim of the Innovation Initiative is to provide a process for program design and development that is data informed, co-designed and based on learner experience design principles. New and existing programs accepted into the process demonstrate that they are currently operating as a team with a focus on achieving learning experiences that are meaningful and transformational for students and will allow them to excel in a global context.
Eligibility
To take part in the Innovation Initiative, program teams are invited to submit an EOI. Details of the EOI are explained in this document. In order to be eligible, program teams must be able to demonstrate clear opportunities for program enhancement, team readiness to drive the Innovation Project and program readiness to embrace change and innovation. Proposals must be endorsed by Head of School, Deputy PVC Learning & Teaching, and Deputy Dean/Head Learning & Teaching.
Process
Upon submission of the EOI the program team will be invited to attend a session to discuss their submission and explore program/team readiness. A recommendation will be made to support the Program either through the Innovation Initiative or within the College. See Program Innovation (Appendix 2) for details.

OPPORTUNITY DISCOVERY DESIGN What is this blueprint?
In service design, a blueprint acts as a map to specify and detail individual aspects of a service. Typically it highlights the acons of a user, and maps how an organisaon responds to these acons, through its own products and acons. A blueprint helps to idenfy crucial areas in a service and to coordinate people and resources at the points of need.
In this case, we have taken the “core project team” as our main user. The core project team has an aim it wants to achieve: to innovate their program to improve learning experiences for their students. To do this in a data-informed and learner-centred way, they need to take the acons as detailed in this map.
Various individuals, teams and departments in RMIT and outside, will need to take acon to support this “core project team”. Where they need to act and how, is detailed in this map.
This blueprint is based on findings from the 8 pilot programs who engaged with the LTi process and the insights from the Academic Development Groups who acted as learning designers in this project.
What is the core project team?
The core project team is a small, mul-disciplinary team that is created to work together in the design process. It should consist of:
Several subject maer experts — provide experse into content and delivery of current program, knowledge of the field
Learning designer — provides experse in contemporary educaon technology and innovaon in teaching and learning
Student — provides insights into the learning experience of the program (reimbursed)
Project manager — manages melines and resources,
Design lead — facilitates the design process and acvies

Co-design
The best way to ensure that the experiences you create, will meet the needs of your users is to engage in a process of co-design, somemes also known as parcipatory design or open design. Through co-design, you involve all of your stakeholders from the start of the design process, so the service or product you are designing is informed by their experiences and will meet their needs.
For educaonal organisaons, this means besides academic staff and professional staff also engaging and including industry contacts and students in the design or re-design process.
Some of the benefits of a co-design process are:
Generaon of ideas by stakeholders from different contextsŸ
Improved knowledge of learner and industry needsŸ
Immediate validaon of ideas or concepts for learning Ÿenhancements
More efficient decision makingŸ
A reduced development meŸ
Beer cooperaon between different people or organisaons, and Ÿacross disciplines
Students establishing a sense of learning ownership as co-Ÿdesigners
Industry involved in building industry outcomes that translate to Ÿgraduates that are ready for life and work.

REMAINDER OF PAPER
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
Discontinuation of the plan GD059 Graduate Diploma in Internet & Web Computing was approved by ADC 05-16 (PLR ID number 1340). It was then understood to have no active students and the last intake of commencing students was listed as semester 1, 2015.
The academic case for the discontinuation of the Plans MC060ADV9 and MC060STD9 (with their nested awards) was considered by the College Academic Development Committee on 20 September 2016 and endorsed by the Science, Engineering and Health Pro Vice-Chancellor on 7 October 2016.

DISCUSSION/RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The program MC063 Master of Technology (Internet and Web Computing) (PLR ID 1400) and its nested awards are not AQF-compliant. They are being taught out by Semester 2, 2016. The awards nested in the plan MC063 Master of Technology (Internet and Web Computing) are:
∑ GD059 Graduate Diploma in Internet & Web Computing, and∑ GC040 Graduate Certificate in Internet & Web Computing.
Hence the program/plans will be discontinued and an AQF-compliant plan is available for students. Therefore, program transition information will be added to the program guides.
The program MC063 Master of Technology (Internet and Web Computing) and its nested awards are are not accredited by an external body. MC063 has a CRICOS code so a request for CRICOS discontinuation will be sent. A transition plan has been provided. There are 3 current domestic students in MC063. This program is not part of a double degree. There are no pending applications for any students. The last intake of commencing students was in RMIT
Semester 1, 2014 (1450). The students currently enrolled in MC063 Master of Technology (Internet and Web Computing) have agreed to complete their program by the end of second semester 2016, if unable to they can be mapped into MC208 Master of Information Technology.
Students have been informed of the discontinuation and proposed transfer to MC208 in an information session (on 13th September 2013), by email (on 13th September 2013) and a Q&A session (on 17th September 2013). A reminder email was sent with a discontinuation letter on 30th
May 2016. All 3 affected students will be transferred into MC208 Master of Information Technology which is AQF-compliant for RMIT Semester 2, 2016 (1650).
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no resource implications other than the administrative cost of updating the program guides.
INSTITUTIONAL RISKS
Risks of Implementation: No significant risks associated with the implementation of proposed amendments.
Risks of non-implementation: The key risk of not implementing this proposal is not having accurate transition information listed on the Program Guides. Another key risk of not implementing this proposal is the unnecessary administrative overhead as a result of existence of discontinued and inactive program plans on official records. For example, they are included in PAR reports, OPIS data analysis reports and the program guide system.

REMAINDER OF PAPER
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
The plan MC060 was previously approved for discontinuation by Academic Development Committee (ADC) 05-16 as MC060 Master of Applied Science (Information Systems). It was then understood by the then School of Computer Science and Information Technology that there were no current students or any pending applications with the last intake being semester 1, 2005. GD058 Graduate Diploma in Software Engineering and GD059 Graduate Diploma in Internet & Web Computing were also both approved for discontinuation by ADC 05-16.
The academic case for the discontinuation of the Plans MC060ADV9 and MC060STD9 (with their nested awards) was considered by the College Academic Development Committee on 20 September 2016 and endorsed by the Science, Engineering and Health Pro Vice-Chancellor on 7 October 2016.
DISCUSSION/RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
MC060ADV9 Master of Computer Science Advanced Plan and MC060STD9 Master of Computer Science, Standard Plan and their nested awards are not AQF-compliant and are not accredited by an external body. Hence the program/plans will be discontinued and an AQF-compliant plan is available for students.
Both plans will be taught out by Semester 2, 2016. Transition plans have been provided and program transition information will be added to the program guides. Both MC060ADV9 and MC060STD have a CRICOS code so a request for CRICOS discontinuation will be sent.
These plans are not part of a double degree.
There is 1 current domestic student in the MC060ADV9 plan. The student currently enrolled has agreed to complete their program by the end of second semester 2016, if unable to complete the student can be mapped into MC208 Master of Information Technology or MC061 / Plan MC061P14 Master of Computer Science.
There are 4 current domestic students in the MC060STD9 plan. The students currently enrolled have agreed to complete their program by the end of second semester 2016, if unable to complete they can be mapped into MC208 Master of Information Technology.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no resource implications other than the administrative cost of updating the program guides.

Submission to Education Innovation and Quality Committee
TITLEPlan discontinuation: MC150 Master of Social Work
PPTL ID: 11735 PLR 1790
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Key Issues
This submission seeks retrospective approval for the discontinuation of MC150 Master of Social Work plan.
In preparation for 2015 reaccreditation, the program proposed significant structural changes during the program development cycle in 2014. The proposed amendment to the program structure was approved by DSC College Board in June 2014 however the advice to create a new plan was given after the approval and the formal process for discontinuing the existing plan was overlooked. The plan was closed for future intake for both domestic and international applicants. Students who commenced their studies prior to 2015 were informed of the change in August 2014. These students are currently being taught out in the old plan and will have until the end of 2017 tocomplete their studies.
The introduction of the new web architecture now enables plans to be displayed on the program summary pages. This is due to linkages between students systems and the web site. As this plan has not been formally discontinued in the student systems, the old plan is being displayed on the program summary page. This has resulted in confusion for applicants about which plan to apply for.
Recommendations
That Education Innovation and Quality Committee approve the discontinuation of the Plan for MC150 Master of Social Work and note the Transition Plan for MC150 Master of Social Work Plan (in operation since August 2014).
Timing of Decisions
This request is urgent as marketing collateral is currently still showing the old plan. Formal approval is required to make the changes in the student administration systems which drive the web marketing material.
Further Information
N/A
Communication and Confidentiality
Once formally approved, these changes will be communicated by the Manager Academic Services and Senior Coordinator Admissions and Pathways to marketing and web teams and the Program Director and school contacts as appropriate.

7. Transition statement
For the program/plan being discontinued.
In 2015, the Master of Social Work program structure will be amended. New students from 2015 will enrol into the new structure under the new program plan MC150P15 Master of Social Work.
If you commenced your studies in the program prior to 2015 you will have the opportunity to complete your qualification in the current structure. The current plan will be formally closed at the end of 2017.
If you are unable to complete MC150 by the end of 2017 you will be transitioned to the new plan and structure MC150P15 for 2018. You will receive an individual transition map and further academic advice will be available. If you are undertaking a reduced load, are on Leave of Absence (LOA), or have deferred studies you will not be disadvantaged by the change of program structure. You will not incur any extra costs or be required to complete extra credit points as a result of this change in program.

, or skip to the section called How Might the Changes Affect Me?
DETAILED EXPLANATION:
As part of continual improvement and alignment with accrediting bodies, the Master of Social Work has undergone arecent period of review and modification. Two major developments have informed the need for program review.
The first is the release of new Education and Accreditation Standards by the AASW in 2012 which has introducednew essential curriculum requirements for all accredited Social Work programs in Australia.
The second is the introduction of a revised Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF),
which provides standards against which all Australian University qualifications must be aligned to ensure qualificationoutcomes remain relevant and are consistent across all providers.
The review of the MSW program has drawn on feedback from students via the Student Experience Surveys, CourseExperience Surveys and the Staff Student Consultative Committee meetings. There has been consultation withindustry partners and the program advisory committee. A national benchmarking exercise against all other Master ofSocial Work programs in Australia has been conducted in developing the new program plan.
As part of this process the Master of Social Work (MC 150P15) has been approved as an AQF Level 9 (Masters level)program.
Key changes that have been effected as part of this process have been the consolidation and relocation of the contentof some courses, the introduction of new courses to address specific curriculum content requirements and thedevelopment of a minor thesis pathway through the program. You can view the new program plan at this link (in thesection ‘Program Delivery and Structure’)
The minor thesis pathway is designed for students who are interested in higher degrees by research (Masters byResearch or PhD); and/or seek to specialise in research intensive areas of the social work profession.
HOW MIGHT THE CHANGES AFFECT ME?
There are three possible scenarios for
current students in the program:
1. For students who intend to complete the Master of Social Work by the end of 2015, please check yourenrolment against the current program structure to confirm what courses you will need to complete theprogram by the end of next year.
2. For students who will not have completed the program requirements by the end of 2015 an individualprogram plan will be developed in consultation with you that will involve you making key decisions as towhen you will undertake particular courses and in what sequence.
3. For students who are currently enrolled but who would like to select options that have become possiblethrough the new program plan (e.g. a minor thesis path) you will need to contact the program administrationofficer to organise a meeting with the Program Manager to consider options for 2015 and beyond.
All students should ensure they have completed any application for credit transfer/recognition of prior learning priorintended as part of their program progression.Changes to the program structure will take effect in 2015.
Implications for current 1st year Students
If you have not completed all first year courses in the old plan by the end of this year please contact us throughemailing [email protected], and in the subject of your email put MSW enrolment 2015 so that we candevelop an individual transition plan for your 2015 enrolment.
Implications for current 2nd year students
If you have courses that you haven’t completed by the end of 2014, you will have the opportunity to enrol in secondyear courses under the current program plan through to the end of 2015.
If you think you will not have completed the program requirements by the end of 2015 we will need to develop anindividual transition plan for you. Again please contact us through emailing [email protected] and in the subjectof your email put MSW enrolment 2015
Implications for those with nonstandard student careers

New Offerings - via Partner (Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine)(5 Higher Education Diploma Programs)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Key Issues
RMIT has been invited by Shenzhen Municipal Government to form a Tier 2 (non-independent) joint institution (GZUCM-RMIT Institute of Life Sciences and Bioengineering (“GRI”)) in partnership with the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine to support rapid economic development in Shenzhen. The proposed collaboration focuses on delivering five new Higher Education Diplomas, five existing undergraduate (Bachelor) degrees, and four existing postgraduate (Master) degrees (with individual programs commencing over the period 2018-2021). PhD programs will also be available. RMIT programs will be delivered in English.
Approval from RMIT for delivery of these programs is sought at this stage to enable application to the Chinese Ministry of Education early in 2017. This is necessary to gain required in-country approvals and to allow planning and construction of the campus in Shenzhen to proceed and be ready for commencement of programs in September 2018.
This proposal concerns the five new one-year duration Higher Education Diplomas (listed above), which are designed as a pathway into their respective undergraduate degrees. The Diplomas are an alternative to the first year of the degree program. Students will be eligible to articulate to the second year of the degree program after successful completion of the Diploma. A key feature of the Diploma is the incorporation of embedded English for Academic Purposes contextualised to the study discipline; this will support students in concurrent improvement of English and their disciplinary knowledge and skills.
The discipline content and learning outcomes of one of these Diploma programs will be essentially the same as those of the first year of the corresponding Bachelor program. Students will be able to articulate to the second year of the relevant Bachelor program after completion of the Diploma. The Diploma will be taught in a way that prepares students learning in China for Australian-style education. This model has been used successfully by the College of Business in China, Melbourne, and Indonesia.
Recommendations

REMAINDER OF PAPER
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
The Academic Case for this proposal was endorsed by the Deputy PVC, Learning and Teaching on 04 November 2016. It will be submitted to the SEH Academic Development Committee for their meeting on 17 November 2016, recommending PVC endorsement prior to the next Academic Board Meeting 10/16 (5 December).
DISCUSSION/RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The disciplines of Biomedical and Health Sciences have been identified as a priority area for capacity building and international collaboration by the Ministry of Education (MoE) in China and the Guangdong Provincial Government. The Chinese Government has strategically invested in Guangdong to build a strong province in Health Sciences in China. Shenzhen is geographically located next to Hong Kong and Macau with numerous international Health Sciences related companies and foreign residents requiring health services. High quality Health and Biomedical Science graduates who are competent in English are in high demand for clinical practice and in local industry employment.
The Higher Education Diplomas at GZUCM-RMIT will provide an entry point for high achieving students in China to cognate undergraduate in health, biomedical science, biotechnology and biomedical engineering.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The partner academic institution, GZUCM, has made the following projections for the Diplomas based on their understanding of local demand for respective destination degrees:
DP011GZU: 65 EFTSL annual commencement for the first years, rising to 85 EFTSL annual commencement in following years - BP226GZU Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology)
DP012GZU: 50 EFTSL annual commencement for the first two years, rising to 70 EFTSL annual commencement in following years - BH069GZU Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering)
134
Page 3 of 4
(Honours)
DP013GZU: 60 EFTSL annual commencement for the first two years, rising to 90 EFTSL annualcommencement in following years - BP278HGZUDD Bachelor of HealthSc/B.AppSc (Chinese Medicine)
DP014GZU: 50 EFTSL annual commencement each year - BP311GZU Bachelor of Science (Pharmaceutical Science)
DP015GZU: 50 EFTSL annual commencement each year - BPBP147GZU Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Laboratory Medicine)
Income to fund delivery of this program will come from multiple sources:
1. Tuition fees (Chinese students)2. Government grants which subsidise Chinese students3. International student fees4. Government special funding
RMIT will be paid for its delivery of services as a reimbursement. The gross margin from delivery of these programs will be small. The return to RMIT will be primarily from research training, research grants, and commercialisation of research. Delivery of coursework programs is part of RMIT’s contribution to the partnership and a way of building the pipeline of research students and research professionals.
The delivery model for the proposed Higher Education Diploma programs involves:
∑ Limited fly-in/fly-out teaching visits ∑ Utilisation of VE staff where possible∑ Utilisation of staff recruited by the joint Institute to support delivery of the program, including
technical discipline specialists and English language teachers
Close to 50% commonality in use of courses and teaching staff for the five Diploma programs
INSTITUTIONAL RISKS
Using RMIT Risk Management Procedure, a full risk assessment reveals a moderate risk rating for RMIT. The risk register has identified six risks with a number of mitigation strategies attributed to each. A summary of the broader financial, operational and reputational risks have been addressed below:
Financial Risks
Financial risks are low given that the proposed presence requires a small capital injection (approximately $250,000 in start-up capital equivalent to RMB Yuan 1 million). Other start-up costs and ongoing operational costs will be determined through the agreed financial model following the MoE approval of the Joint Institute. The Institute is to keep program delivery cost neutral.
China is an established market for RMIT. RMIT is familiar with the operating environment through many years of collaboration with a transnational education partner in Shanghai.
Operational and Travel Risks
RMIT will ensure the operational and academic quality assurance responsibilities are reflected in the respective umbrella agreement as well as relevant annexures. Academic and operational risks are further safeguarded by the MoE, which regulates the Sino-Foreign partnerships. There is a low degree of risk associated with travelling to China for RMIT teaching visits to GZUCM. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) travel advice shows a low risk rating (as at July 2016). Travel decisions will be based on current world events using the briefings provided by DFAT as well as other official agencies. RMIT staff will also be covered by the RMIT medical and evacuation policies and appropriate insurance is in place.
Reputation Risks
A high level of assessment of the Chinese market, including risks and economic growth, has been
135
Page 4 of 4
undertaken at a regional (Guangdong) and city level (Shenzhen). There are longer-term reputational risks around the presence not succeeding in achieving its targets and aspirations or if RMIT was to exit from the established presence. Appropriate mitigation strategies for this scenario will be developed through the more detailed business case. There is a short-term reputational risk associated with a scenario where RMIT was to withdraw from the subsequent negotiation following signing of the agreement. This risk is mitigated by RMIT being clear in its communications with the partners explaining that a more detailed business case is required and that this is subject to formal approval by the VC’s Executive and Council prior to submitting an application to the MoE.
The longevity of the partnership with GZUCM and successful existing research collaborations are mitigating circumstances.

Work Integrated Learning
RMIT is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplaceexperience. As a student enrolled in this RMIT program you will:
• undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrateyour professional or vocational practice
• interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities• complete these activities in real or simulated work contexts or situations.
There are currently no Work Integrated Learning (WIL) courses in the Diploma of Biotechnology. Workintegrated learning courses are a feature of Year 2 & 3 of the Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology) destinationprogram for those students who successfully complete the Diploma.
This diploma is offered only as a pathway into the degree program.
Approach to Learning and Assessment
The Diploma of Biotechnology aims to inspire, challenge and motivate a sense of curiosity and discovery.
Each of the eight (8) Diploma courses is delivered in English language, over an academic semester, by stafffrom RMIT and GZUCM in partnership. You will be introduced to a blended learning environment which willprepare you for your subsequent studies in the Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology). Courses will generallyinvolve weekly lectures, tutorials, laboratory practical sessions, seminars and on-line activities across theextended semester. Some courses may include intensive block lecture components.
Of particular importance is the high proportion of time spent in the laboratory and undertaking project and/orfield work which will provide emphasis to developing practical skills and capabilities, develop teamwork andtime-management skills and provide context for the student learning process.
Assessment is designed to give you opportunities to demonstrate your capabilities and to focusyour learning. You will find that the forms of assessment may be different for each course as theassessment tasks are aligned with individual course learning outcomes. Assessment tasks might includequizzes, short answer tests, multiple choice questions, assignments, projects, laboratory reports, oralpresentations, examinations and tests of practical techniques. Some tasks will be completed individuallywhile others may involve group work. Self-assessment and/or peer assessment may be a feature of sometasks. Most importantly you will be provided with clear specifications regarding the completion of tasks andfeedback on your work.
Each of the Diploma courses will comprise foundation disciplinary knowledge, skills and theirapplication. English language development skills will be embedded in each of the Diploma courses. Yourprior experience of English language learning may have focused on general reading comprehension,translation, grammatical accuracy and perhaps some writing. However because the Diploma and yoursubsequent Degree studies will be taught in English, there will be a parallel focus on English for academiccommunication - writing, listening, speaking and reading. The English language communication skillsrequired for success in each of your courses have been mapped against the relevant course content, skilldevelopment, learning activities and assessments. English language staff will work alongside disciplinaryexperts to assist you to develop requisite English language skills by means of a variety of focussed languagelearning activities.

RMIT is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplaceexperience. As a student enrolled in this RMIT program you will:
• undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate yourprofessional or vocational practice
• interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities• complete these activities in real or simulated work contexts or situations.
There are currently no Work Integrated Learning (WIL) courses in the Diploma of Engineering (BiomedicalEngineering). Work integrated learning courses are a feature of Years 2 to Year 4 of the Bachelor ofEngineering (Biomedical Engineering) (Honours) destination program for those students who successfullycomplete the Diploma. This diploma is offered only as a pathway into the degree program.
Approach to Learning and Assessment
The Diploma of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering) aims to inspire, challenge and motivate a sense ofcuriosity and discovery.
Each of the eight (8) Diploma courses is delivered in English language, over an academic semester, by stafffrom RMIT and GZUCM in partnership. You will be introduced to a blended learning environment which willprepare you for your subsequent studies in the Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering) (Honours).Courses will generally involve weekly lectures, tutorials, laboratory classes, practical sessions and on-lineactivities across the extended semester. Some courses may include intensive block lecture components. Youwill engage in learning activities and projects that require you to plan, design, construct and manage solutionsto scientific and engineering problems (both complex and real-world).
Assessment is designed to give you opportunities to demonstrate your capabilities (technical/design/research/communication) and to focus your learning. You will find that the forms of assessment may be different foreach course as the assessment tasks are aligned with individual course learning outcomes. Assessmenttasks might include quizzes, short answer tests, multiple choice questions, assignments, projects, reflectivejournals, laboratory reports, oral presentations, examinations and tests of practical techniques. Some taskswill be completed individually while others may involve group work. Self-assessment and/or peer assessmentmay be a feature of some tasks. Most importantly you will be provided with clear specifications regarding thecompletion of tasks and feedback on your work.
Each of the Diploma courses will comprise foundation disciplinary knowledge, skills and theirapplication. English language development skills will be embedded in each of the Diploma courses. Yourprior experience of English language learning may have focused on general reading comprehension,translation, grammatical accuracy and perhaps some writing. However because the Diploma and yoursubsequent Degree studies will be taught in English, there will be a parallel focus on English for academiccommunication - writing, listening, speaking and reading. The English language communication skillsrequired for success in each of your courses have been mapped against the relevant course content, skilldevelopment, learning activities and assessments. English language staff will work alongside disciplinaryexperts to assist you to develop requisite English language skills by means of a variety of focussed languagelearning activities.
