13.0 PROGRAM GPA OPTIONS PAPER

13.1 On the recommendation of the 2/2014 Programs Committees, the Academic Committee is asked to consider the attached Program GPA Options Paper (2014/0000502). The purpose of the Options Paper is to respond to a perception of disadvantage being experienced by a group of students through the University’s use of the career level GPA calculation and the provision of a career level official academic (OAT) transcript.

13.2 Programs Committee previously considered concerns in relation to the University’s

use of the career level GPA and OAT, identified through student complaints, at the 2/2013 (April) and 5/2013 (July) meetings in the context of the Discussion Paper on Program and Award Titling (2013/0006512). At the 5/2013 meeting, Programs Committee endorsed in principle a recommendation to consider the introduction of a Program Transcript and Program GPA, subject to EICP funding being available to undertake the development work in the PeopleSoft Student System.

13.3 The Program GPA Options Paper proposes three options for Academic Committee’s

consideration:

a) Maintain the status quo and reset the career GPA on student request; or b) Calculate the student’s program GPA for inclusion on the official academic

transcript; or c) Calculate the student’s program GPA for inclusion on the official transcript and

produce a new unofficial program transcript on official paper.

Some of the above options also require a change to the University Credit Model.

13.4 The Options Paper recommends the University adopt option C. 13.5 In discussing this item, Programs Committee agreed to recommend to Academic

Committee that the University adopt option C, with the addition of 3.4 Optional change to credit transfer processing.

13.6 The Chair Programs Committee will introduce this item.

Recommendation:

13.7 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Programs Committee (2/2014), is asked to consider the Program GPA Options Paper (2014/0000502), and determine which option is to be adopted.

For consideration

14.0 GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY GUIDELINES ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF PROGRAMS AS HIGHER DEGREES BY RESEARCH

14.1 In January 2014, the HEIMSHELP definition of a Higher Degree Research Course

was updated in order to be consistent with the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) specifications. The definition is included below:




HDR: means a higher degree by research that is a Research Masters or Research Doctorate.

Research Masters: means a Level 9 qualification as described in the Australian Qualifications Framework and where a minimum of two-thirds of the program of learning is for research, research training and independent study.

Research Doctorate: means a Level 10 qualification as described in the Australian Qualifications Framework and where a minimum of two years of the program of learning, and typically two-thirds of the qualification, is research.

14.2 The revised HEIMSHELP definition of a Higher Degree by Research requires that the

attached Griffith University Guidelines on the Classification of Programs as Higher Degrees by Research (2013/0014775) be rescinded.

14.3 The attached Bachelor with Honours (AQF Level 8) Policy has also been amended to

add in the new HDR definition, and to remove the reference to the defunct Guidelines.

14.4 The Dean, Griffith Graduate Research School will introduce this item.

Recommendation:

14.5 The Academic Committee asked to:

rescind the Griffith University Guidelines on the Classification of Programs as Higher Degrees by Research (2013/0014775); and

approve the revised Bachelor with Honours (AQF Level 8) Policy (2014/0005093).

For consideration

15.0 GUIDELINES FOR THE EFFECTIVE USE OF VIDEO-CONFERENCING TEACHING

15.1 Student feedback suggests that there is a link between use of video-conferencing and

poor SEC scores. Close to 40% of the classes using video-conferencing were rated below 3.5 by students. Those that were above 3.5, were generally only just above. Open ended comments were particularly critical of video-conferencing, rather than teaching per se.

15.2 Where video-conferencing was used with elective courses and students know in

advance that this form of delivery would be used, student feedback was not so poor. However, compulsory courses, especially in first and second year, where students have not chosen that method of teaching, continue to receive poor feedback.

15.3 Whilst video-conferencing is a necessary tool for a multi-campus university, its use

should not lead to student dissatisfaction with their learning experience at Griffith. 15.4 Following discussion with Group Pro Vice Chancellors and Deans (Learning &

Teaching), a draft set of guidelines for the appropriate use of video-conferencing was prepared and submitted to Executive Group (1/2014) for consideration.

15.5 Executive Group endorsed the guidelines, subject to the inclusion of a general

statement about the guidelines enhancing good teaching. 15.6 The revised Guidelines for the Effective Use of Video-Conferencing (2014/0005091)

are attached for the consideration of the Committee. 15.7 The Dean, Learning Futures will introduce this item.




Recommendation:

15.8 The Academic Committee is asked to approve the Guidelines for the Effective Use of Video-Conferencing (2014/0005091), effective from Semester 1, 2014.

For consideration

SECTION III: MATTERS REQUIRING RATIFICATION OF EXECUTIVE ACTION 16.0 LECTURE CAPTURE POLICY

16.1 The Lecture Capture Policy (2012/0007815) was approved at the 1/2013 meeting of the Academic Committee with a review date of 2013. The review date was incorrect and has been amended to 2015 on the executive approval of the Chair (20 December 2013).

Recommendation:

16.2 The Academic Committee is asked ratify the Chair’s executive approval in approving the revised review date for the Lecture Capture Policy (2012/0007815) to 2015.

17.0 GRIFFITH AWARD FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

17.1 Due to the timing of meetings of the Academic Committee, the Chair executively approved minor revisions, and a change in approval authority for the Griffith Award in Academic Excellence from Academic Committee to the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) (now Academic Provost).

Recommendation:

17.2 The Academic Committee is asked ratify the Chair’s executive approval in approving the minor revisions, and the change in approval authority for the Griffith Award in Academic Excellence (2013/0006308).

18.0 DOCTOR OF EDUCATION

18.1 Due to the timing of meetings of the Academic Committee, the Chair executively approved the attached major change proposal for the Doctor of Education (2013/0005490).

Recommendation:

18.2 The Academic Committee is asked ratify the Chair’s executive approval in approving the major change proposal for the Doctor of Education (2013/0005490).

disestablishment of the professional registration body, low enrolments and non-compliance with the AQF Issuance Policy.

Technology program. Griffith International have advised that they have received one application for the Semester 1, 2014 intake which was not successful.

February 2014), is asked to consider the attached proposal to withdraw the Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (1272), as contained in 2013/0004510, with a last admit term of semester 1 2013.

92.2 Graduate entry medical programs (GEMPs) operating in Australia, like the current

Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program at Griffith University, were accredited through their respective institution’s accreditation process before the revised Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) was introduced in mid-2011. Griffith University’s Programs Committee and the Academic Committee have confirmed that the current GEMP allows for students to attain learning outcomes equivalent to that of an AQF Level 9 Masters (Extended) program, in accordance with the revised AQF which has led to the introduction of the Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Semester 1, 2014.

92.3 From 2014, all commencing students will be admitted to the MD. All current students

will be offered the opportunity to transfer to the MD since the MD courses, curriculum content and learning outcomes remain the same as the MBBS. The current program allows for students to attain learning outcomes equivalent to that of a Level 9 Masters




(Extended) program. By allowing students to transfer and graduate from the MD program, students’ prior learning will be recognised in an appropriate fashion.

interest and enrolment. These programs had no enrolments in 2012 or 2013 with the Certificate in Accounting and Finance (9001) and Certificate in Commerce (9040) having 1 student in 2011.

93.3 The Certificate programs are 40 credit point full fee paying programs in which

students are not eligible for fee-Help. Hence, students opt for QIBT programs as a pathway to Griffith rather than undertaking the Certificate courses. Upon completion of the Certificate courses students only receive an official academic transcript, and do not receive any form of testamur.
