3. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

Professor A Lindsay advised the Committee of the need to move quickly to honour previous commitments to establish postgraduate scholarships for fee-paying students, so that at least an interim scheme could be put in place for Semester 1 1999. He provided an overview of the scheme and its rationale and called for responses from individual Faculties by 15 July.
Action/Information: All members are requested to provide initial responses to the proposed scheme directly to the office of the DVC (A&P) by 15 July for report at Meeting 5/98.
3.2 Registrars’ Representative on Education Committee

Further, the Committee agreed that Dr P Rodan, as the Registrars’ nominee, would attend future Meetings of Education Committee.
Action/Information: Faculty Registrars/Managers

6.1 Report of the Procedures Review Working Party
Documents were circulated. (Pages 893–908)
A document is attached. (Attachment 1)
The Education Committee received the Report of the Procedures Review Working Party.
The Committee approved the recommendations set out below. (The Committee’s comments appear in bold.)
Recommendation 1.2
Education Committee approved the recommendation that the current model for new course approval as set out in the Report be retained.
Recommendation 1.3
Education Committee agreed that it remain the responsibility of the Faculty to retain the final version of the subject or course proposal, noting that the version that appears in the Education Committee agenda, and that is retained by the Secretariat in University files, may not reflect changes made in the evaluation process.
Education Committee agreed that this was an acceptable interim arrangement, but that a move should be made to hold final approved versions of subject and course proposals in a web-based data repository. (See comments under item 6.2 - Quality Assurance Mechanisms below.
Recommendation 2
Education Committee approved the adoption of the revised subject and course proformas for placement on the Education Committee Website.
In adopting the revised proformas for immediate application in relation to new proposals, Education Committee agreed that "pipleline" proposals, for which documentation was already underway, could continue under the previous arrangements. The Committee also stipulated that some editorial changes be made to the proformas before placing them on the Web.
Recommendation 3
In view of the timeframe for subject and course approvals, from initial consideration by Faculty sub-committee through to Academic Board approval (on average, 6 months), Education Committee approved the Working Party’s recommendation that a ‘fast-track’ procedure be instituted. Features of the procedure appear in the extract from the Working Party’s Report below:
In considering item 3.3, the Committee noted that the Faculty of Business and Economics had developed a procedure for conducting an e-mail vote of its Board. The use of this mechanism by Education might provide an alternative to approval by the Deputy Vice Chancellor(Academic and Planning) as outlined above. The Committee will consider this alternative approach at a future Meeting. (A copy of the procedures is attached.)
6.2 Quality Assurance Mechanisms to Permit the Devolution of New Subject Approval to Faculties
The Committee endorsed in principle Recommendation 1 of the Working Party Report, setting out a model for the devolution of new subject approval to Faculties. Members agreed to defer implemention until further consideration of the quality assurance process at Faculty level was called for before such devolution could occur. This issue will be considered by the re-constituted Procedures Working Party whose revised terms of reference appear under item 65.3 below.
The Committee agreed to form a specialist Working Party to discuss the feasibility, specifications and design of a multi-purpose database, accessible on the Web, to hold final approved versions of subject and course proposals. Such a database would permit the devolution of subject approval to Faculties by facilitating a quality assurance audit option. Simultaneously, it could be linked to the handbook and calendar production processes and integrated into student information and enrolment systems. Ms D James agreed to formulate the membership structure of a specialist group and to draft terms of reference for consideration by the Committee at Meeting 5/98 on 12 August.
Action/Information: Ms D James, Faculty Registrars/Managers

Members noted the increased use of terminology associated with flexible learning in course and subject proposals, and acknowledged a need to address this trend in the context of the approval process. The Committee agreed that flexible learning should remain a broadly defined concept and that alternative terminology should be developed in relation to mode and delivery. Accordingly the Procedures Review Working Party has been re-constituted to:
