5. ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM MEETING 4/97 OF THE ACADEMIC BOARD

A document is attached.

Recommendation:

That the Committee note the items of interest from Meeting 4/97 of the Academic Board, held on 4 June 1997.

* 6. TEACHING IN LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH

At Education Committee Meeting 3/97, it was agreed that a small working party would examine the issue of teaching and assessment in languages other than English, and to develop a discussion paper for the committee.

A document is attached.

Recommendation:

That the Committee receive the discussion paper, consider the issues and endorse the following recommendations for submission to the Academic Board:

That the University adopt three options in the provision of Monash courses overseas:

Courses taught and assessed in English.
Courses taught and assessed in both English and another specified language (with students choosing to be assessed in either English or the language other than English when enrolling.)
Courses taught and assessed in a language other than English.

That the minimum language requirements upon admission for all courses of the University be maintained as at present for courses assessed in English and be set at the equivalent level for courses assessed in languages other than English: ie secondary or tertiary education in the language of assessment or a minimum of 6.0 IELTS (undergraduate) and 6.5 IELTS (postgraduate) or equivalent scores on tests conducted in the language of assessment.
All courses taught and assessed in languages other than English must be considered using the University's usual course approval and amendmentprocedures. In addition, such proposals must also include statements justifying the course in educational, cultural and economic terms and demonstrating that proposals for off-shore courses will have adequate and regular monitoring of the course and the overseas staff responsible for its teaching and assessment.
All courses taught and assessed in languages other than English must appoint External Examiners for each subject and for the course as a whole, who would assess the quality of teaching, the translation of teaching materials, and the appropriateness of assessment materials. These external examiners must be fluent in both English and the language of teaching and assessment as well as be competent in the discipline area of the course or subject. The external examiners would then be able to assist in the process of regular review of courses conducted throughout the University.
All appointments of academic staff to teach in programs conducted off-shore must be made using similar criteria for appointments to a similar academic level in the discipline area in Australia. In addition, academic staff appointed to assess student work in a language other than English must be fluent in both English and the language of teaching and assessment.
If teaching and assessment is conducted in a language other than English, the testamur and transcript of a student enrolled in the course must be clearly differentiated from that of a student taught and assessed in English. The language of assessment in an approved course or stream of a course will be included in the formal title of the award and in the University's Statutes and legislation, allowing any non-differentiated award to remain instantly recognisable as a course taught and assessed in English.

* 7. FACULTY CERTIFICATES WORKING PARTY

At Meeting 2/97 of the Education Committee, a working party was established to consider the matter of Faculty Certificates. The working party has prepared a number of recommendations and conditions for the establishment of two new categories of award.

Members are invited to consider the recommended award titles, with a view to presenting any other suggestions at the meeting.

A document is attached.

Recommendation:

That the Committee endorse the attached proposal for submission to the Academic Board, recommending that:

The University award Certificates for which no previous qualification is required for admission to the course;
These shall be titled "Faculty Certificate in xxxxxx" {or other title} for those comprising 24 points of subjects available at the final undergraduate year level, and "Executive / University Certificate in xxxxx" {or other title} for those comprising 24 points of subjects available at the first postgraduate or honours year level; and
Other conditions as described in the attached document shall apply to these courses.

* 8. MICROCOMPUTER ACCESS REQUIREMENTS FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION COURSES

At Education Committee Meeting 2/97, the Committee considered a policy proposed by the Distance Education & Open Learning Committee whereby "Distance Education students should own or have access to a microcomputer".

The Distance Education & Open Learning Committee had agreed that this recommendation would be subject to satisfactory arrangements being made for the University to meet its access and equity obligations by, for example:

the expansion of access arrangements for students in regional areas along the lines of those currently existing in Queensland (where the University has agreements with a number of computer centres to provide access to Monash Distance Education students); and
an increase in the number of modems for student and staff access into the University.

The Director, Distance Education Centre, had added a further proviso, namely:

that the full consultation of staff involved in the provision of Distance Education programs be sought prior to the recommendation of any policy regarding microcomputer access requirements for Distance Education Courses.

A student member pointed out to the Education Committee that there were a number of equity and access hurdles which had not been specified in the recommendation, and it was agreed that Ms McGillivray should liaise with Professor J Harris of the DEC to further clarify the equity issues requiring resolution. Ms McGillivray's document is attached.

The Education Committee considered the question of whether the University should require all distance education students to own or have access to a microcomputer from the perspective that not all distance education subjects involve the use of a microcomputer. It was agreed that the policy may not be necessary for all distance education courses, or even for all subjects in a particular course.

It was agreed that the intention of the recommendation had been to make it possible for academic staff, if they considered it appropriate for the subjects which they taught, to require distance education students to have reasonable access to microcomputers.

Recommendation:

That the Committee refer the matter of microcomputer access requirements to the meeting of the Distance Education & Open Learning Committee to be held on 22 July for the development of a more detailed policy proposal, taking into account Ms McGillivray's document and the comments of the Committee.

* 9. POLICY ON CANCELLATION OF SUBJECTS

The Faculty of Business and Economics recommended the establishment of a policy on the cancellation of subjects to Education Committee Meeting 8/96. When this policy statement was referred to the Academic Board it was agreed that a University-wide policy should be established, for publication in offical handbooks. The policy recommended below is similar to that proposed by the Faculty of Business and Economics, but has been altered to take into account the existence of the many subjects offered by the university during shorter than normal time periods. This is due to the imposition of HECS from the first day of classes in teaching periods of less than six weeks. It should also allow students the ability to make more advised choices regarding their options for changes to their enrolments.

The advice of the University Solicitor's office has been sought, regarding the applicability of the proposed policy.

Recommendation:

That the Committee endorse for transmission to the Academic Board the following proposed policy on cancellation of subjects:

Cancellations of subjects are permitted up to three days before the commencement of teaching of a subject and not less than two weeks before any penalty (financial or otherwise) is incurred by the student.

* 10. STATUTE 4.1 - DISCIPLINE

At Meeting 3/97 the Committee agreed to defer a final decision on the matter of student representation on Faculty Discipline Committees until this meeting, allowing members a chance to consider the matter and to discuss it with their colleagues. An extract from the relevant minute is reproduced below.

"The Committee agreed that while this question was relevant, it was not required for the process of drafting amendments to the Discipline Statute, since the membership of FDCs and the CDC would not be included in the Statute. However, it was agreed that when the revisions to the Discipline Statute were sent to the Academic Board and Council, they would need to be accompanied by a procedural document which would include such matters as the composition of FDCs and the CDC. Members were asked to canvass opinion in their faculties and constituent groups regarding the matter, bearing in mind the opposing arguments:

A) Students should not be included on discipline committees for reasons of confidentiality, fairness to the student accused, pressures placed on students on such committees, and the feeling of many students on such committees that they 'represented' the student accused and should 'defend' their rights

B) Students should be on discipline committees because of the principle of trial by one's peers, the ability of students in positions of such responsibility to be impartial and to keep matters confidential and the possibility that students on discipline committees may be more strict than other members of the committee"

In addition to this matter, there are a number of other issues which may need consideration in procedural areas. The documents originally presented to the Committee at the time of the development of the policy statement, suggesting other procedural arrangements related to the processing of discipline cases, are attached for the information of the Committee.

Recommendation:

That the Committee

determine whether to include student members on Faculty Disicipline Committees;
note the advice that a draft version of the Statute should be available for Meeting 5/97 of this Committee; and
consider procedural arrangements for discipline hearings and request the development by the Executive Officer of a document outlining procedural matters, to be presented to the Committee at Meeting 5/97.

11. SUMMARY OF LIBRARY IMPACT STATEMENTS

The summary of Library Impact Statements submitted to the University Librarian for the period January to May 1997 is attached.

Recommendation:

That the Education Committee receive and note the summary of Library Impact Statements submitted to the University Librarian for the period January to May 1997.

* 12. DISCIPLINE AREAS WORKING PARTY

At Meeting 6/96, a small working party was established to develop a policy recommendation related to the matter of subjects and courses offered across disciplinary boundaries, for example when the Faculty of Education wishes to offer a subject related to methods of art instruction.

The working party came up with the following policy statement:

Faculties have a responsibility to consult with other faculties which may have an interest in the discipline area when developing subject and course proposals;
Faculties are enjoined to take due and sensitive care with disciplinary responsibility when developing subjects and courses;
Faculties are enjoined particularly to take due and sensitive care when naming subjects, so that appropriate acknowledgement is given (for example Art for Teachers is a more appropriate title than Art 1 if the subject is intended to prepare art teachers for teaching);
Research matters related to interdisciplinary areas should be handled carefully and with appropriate consultation within each faculty;
Matters of supervision across disciplinary boundaries should be referred to the PhD and Scholarships Committee for its consideration and the possible development of a statement of policy on the matter;
Interdisciplinary initiatives are exciting and often important developments, and require appropriate but not constrictive Quality Assurance procedures: to that end, it is recommended that the following basic procedural steps be adhered to -
1. Associate Deans (Teaching) should bear the primary responsibility for ensuring that discipline area matters are conducted with adequate consultation, by seeking that staff in their faculties obtain adequate advice
2. AD(T)s should examine each draft handbook entry submitted to the Education Committee for subjects and courses which might overlap discipline boundaries
3. AD(T)s should consult prior to the meeting of the Education Committee to reslove the matter
4. Should the AD(T)s involved remain unable to arrange a resolution, the Education Committee should determine a resolution, or appoint an arbiter to resolve the situation.

Recommendation:

That the Committee endorse the policy and procedural statement above, related to inter-disciplinary matters.

* 13. DIPLOMA COURSES

A later item on this Agenda deals with a proposal to establish a Diploma of Languages. This matter was raised at Education Committee Meeting 3/97 (item 18.1) and it was agreed that the University should consider its policy regarding the offering of Diploma courses before considering any specific proposals.

The issues before the Committee are the following:

Previously, Universities have traditionally offered undergraduate degree courses and TAFE Colleges have offered undergraduate diploma courses, although the Australian Qualifications Framework allows both types of institutions to offer both types of courses.
Should the University determine that it wishes to offer diploma courses, the question of the length of the course must be agreed. The proposal placed before the Committee recommends a course of less than one full-time academic year, although the Melbourne University programs are the equivalent of one full-time academic year. TAFE Diplomas are equal to two year full-time courses, while the Advanced Diploma equals three years of full time study. When the University offered Diplomas and Associate Diplomas, prior to the establishment of the AQF, the Diploma was a three year undergraduate course, and the Associate Diploma a two year undergraduate course.
Articulation into existing degree programs must be considered, as must the issue of granting credit towards degree programs
the question of which students would be eligible to enrol must be clarified.

Recommendation:

That the Committee consider the issues raised above and any others which are presented to the meeting, establish a working party to prepare a discussion paper on the matter, and note that a decision regarding the proposal of the Faculty of Arts to establish a Diploma in Languages should therefore be deferred.

The Committee should note that the recommendations related to the course and subject proposals will be forwarded as soon as possible to members, and will be made available prior to the meeting. Additional copies of the remaining recommendations will be provided at the meeting.

14. FACULTY OF ARTS

The Faculty of Arts has presented four different reports to the Committee. Items have been re-arranged for this Agenda, but each report is also presented as submitted by the Faculty.

The Report of Meeting 3/97 of the Board of the Faculty of Arts, held on Wednesday 21 May 1997 is presented.
