Before creating your Course Outline for 2023 courses, it is important that the PCMS assessment information is up to date based upon to the following information.
One of the major projects associated with the Authentic Assessment Project (AAP) is an upgrade to Program & Course Management System (PCMS), specially the assessment fields in PCMS aligning them to the fields summarised in the Program Approval Manual Appendix C.
As a result, any continuous assessments e.g., weekly quizzes, or Multiple Component assessment e.g., two-part exams, must be updated in PCMS prior to the creation and publishing of the Course Outline and the delivery of the Course in 2023.
The TIU has a spreadsheet of courses using these assessment formats and is populating the missing information. This is then being communicated to the Academic Units to ensure the data is correct. Once confirmed, the TIU will be updating the assessment information in PCMS.
Currently, SP1 courses have been updated and work has commenced on SP2 courses. SP3 and onwards will be actioned as soon as the SP2 courses have been completed.
It is imperative that a Course Outline is not created prior to the assessments being updated in PCMS. If this is not adhered to it will result in incorrect assessment data being displayed to students and will impact your ability to update and release grades via learnonline. We therefore respectfully ask you refrain from creating your Course Outline until all upgrades have been completed.
The 2023 Course Outline templates will be available on Wednesday, November 16th. Thank you for your understanding with the delay to the 2023 Course Outline availability.
