Topic:
Implementing Perception in a Multi-Campus, Multi-Discipline Environment

Background
TAFE NSW - Hunter Institute is an Australian educational institution that specializes in vocational studies. The Institute, with more than 50,000 students, is spread over 16 campuses and has a wide range of teaching disciplines, often with the same discipline represented at more than one campus. Individual teaching sections at each campus are associated with a particular faculty, with each faculty under the control of a faculty director. This discussion will explore how institutions with multiple faculties and multiple authors can effectively manage the authoring and administration of large numbers of assessments.

Kick-off Questions:

• What administrative tools would you regard as essential for assessment delivery in this kind of environment?
• How are quality assurance issues managed where multiple authors are responsible for different specialist areas within a particular teaching discipline?
• How are groups managed to ensure reliable short term and long term reporting?
