AGENDA

PART A: PROCEDURAL AND POLICY MATTERS

*A1. STARRED ITEMS

The Committee should note that certain items have been starred as requiring discussion. Additional items may be starred at the discretion of the Committee.

All items related to course approval and major amendments have been starred for the attention of the Committee.

That the Committee nominate any additional items to be starred, and then endorse the recommendations for items other than those starred.

The Minutes of Meeting 6/98 held on Wednesday, 23 September 1998 have been circulated.

That the Committee approve the Minutes of Meeting 6/98 as circulated, subject to the changes reflected in the excerpt below.

Associate Professor N White advised the Committee that the Arts Faculty Board had agreed to cease intake of students into the first year of the Bachelor of Human Services Degree at the Caulfield campus. Associate Professor N White noted that although no further students would be admitted to this degree, students could study human services subjects by enrolling in the BA (Police Studies) or the BA (Policy Studies).

The Committee endorsed for submission to the Academic Board the proposal of the Faculty of Arts to cease intake of students into the first year of the Bachelor of Human Services Degree.

At Meeting 5/98 the Committee endorsed the proposal of the Faculty of Arts to establish a Diploma of Foundation Studies subject to confirmation that consultation had taken place between the Faculty of Arts and the Associate Deans (Teaching) of relevant Faculties. The Committee had also expressed concern about admission criteria and credit provision, items that were addressed prior to the course's submission to Academic Board for endorsement and reflected in a revised handbook entry that was circulated to members with the previous minutes. As requested by the Committee, clarification has been received that anticipated load will be 30 EFTSU, drawn from the participating Schools for the discipline-based subjects, and from unfilled Gippsland Campus load for the core subjects. Ms Margaret Lynn, course convenor, has also certified that consultation has now occurred.

That Education Committee confirm that the necessary consultation has taken place between the Faculty of Arts and the relevant Associate Deans (Teaching) in regard to the Diploma in Foundation Studies.

At Education Committee Meeting 5/98, the Faculty of Information Technology submitted proposals for the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing and the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing for approval and endorsement by Academic Board. Academic Board approved these courses as off-campus. However, the course proposal specified their delivery as "flexible". The intention of the Faculty (and the understanding of the Postgraduate Evaluation Panel) was that the course be offered in on-campus mode with the transition to more flexible delivery over time. Both courses now require approval by Education Committee for delivery in on-campus mode.

That Education Committee amend its recommendation of Meeting 6/98 to reflect the intention of the Faculty of Information Technology to establish the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing and the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing to be offered commencing in Semester 1 1999 in on-campus mode at the Peninsula campus.

At Meeting 6/98, Education Committee members identified a need for formal evaluation of the proposed major amendments to the Master of Business Systems by Coursework, Master of Business Systems by Projects, Master of Business Systems by Distance Education and Master of Digital Communications. Accordingly, Associate Professor J Hurst has consulted with the Postgraduate Evaluation Committee who have confirmed that the amendments align with established policy on Masters degrees. Associate Professor Hurst will speak to this Item.

That the Education Committee receive the advice of Associate Professor John Hurst in relation to major amendments to the Master of Business Systems by Coursework, Master of Business Systems by Projects, Master of Business Systems by Distance Education and Master of Digital Communications.

A document is attached. A1

At Meeting 6/98 Education Committee approved the proposal of the Victorian College of Pharmacy to change the name of the Graduate Diploma in Hospital Pharmacy to the Graduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy. Upon advice received from the University Solicitor's Office, it is now proposed to change the award title to Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy.

That Education Committee endorse the proposal of the Victorian College of Pharmacy to change the award title of the Graduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy to the Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy.

The Committee is invited to note that, apart from the matter set out in items A3.1.2 above, items put forward in its Report to Academic Board at Meeting 7/98 on 14 October were approved as submitted.

A document setting out the current structure and membership of Education Committee

is attached. A2-A4

It is proposed to extend formal Education Committee membership to Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies). This would permit greater input from Faculty representatives whose expertise lies in the area of graduate/postgraduate study in line with the Committee's terms of reference (attached) and the increasing number of graduate courses and subjects submitted for consideration by the Committee. The following procedural mechanisms would be adopted:

• Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies) (title and exact role may vary according to Faculty of origin) would be eligible for Education Committee membership.
• Deans would nominate which of their Associate Deans with teaching-related responsibilities are to become members of Education Committee.
• To preserve the appropriate balance between academic units, voting rights would be exercised by one Education Committee member from each Faculty.
• Unless the Chair is otherwise advised by the Dean, it would be assumed that the Associate Dean responsible for undergraduate matters would exercise the right to vote.
• As provided in Statute 2.2 - The Academic Board (Substitution) Statute, section 14.2, a quorum at a meeting of Education Committee is 'one third of the members, taken to the nearest whole number where the committee has sixteen or more members.' (Draft legislation, awaiting ministerial signature) In the case of Education Committee this would be taken to mean one third of the total membership, including Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies).
• At present, each Associate Dean (Teaching) may have an alternate to represent his/her Faculty when he/she is unable to attend Meetings of the Education Committee. Alternates are designated by the Dean of the relevant Faculty.
• The Associate Dean (Teaching) and the Associate Dean (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies) from the relevant Faculty would serve as alternates for each other. No additional alternate would be nominated.

That Education Committee note the current terms of reference and structure of the Committee. Further, that it endorse the proposal to extend its membership to Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate) Studies (or equivalent) as outlined above for approval by Academic Board.

A document is attached. A5-A15

A progress report from the LTOP Education Committee Procedures Review Working Party is attached for consideration by members. Dr Kristina Macrae (Convenor) will speak to this Item.

That the Committee receive the progress report of the LTOP Education Committee Procedures Review Working Party, note its proceedings and consider, in particular, the recommendations set out in A5.1 and A5.2 below.

At Meeting 4/98 Education Committee deferred consideration of the implementation of the proposed subject approval process pending further consideration of implications for quality assurance. The Working Party's revised recommendations are detailed in the progress report and extracted below.

1. That subject proposals proceeding to Faculty Boards be 'Cced' at the same time to two Associate Deans (Teaching) of other faculties.
2. That a (randomised) roster of all Associate Deans (Teaching) be developed for Education Committee evaluation of these 'Cced' subject proposals.
3. That where a subject proposal may be of interest to another Faculty, the Associate Dean (Teaching) of the managing faculty should also email a copy of the subject proposal to the Associate Dean (Teaching) of this Faculty .
4. That a fast-track procedure for exceptional circumstances be implemented, utilising current and upcoming messaging technologies whereby a proposal can be sent out by the Secretary to Education Committee, with a record kept of delivery and reading acknowledgments. It should be trialed as a parallel process, such that emails are sent as urgent, and a quorum for response by members of the Education Committee equals 50%.
5. That the processing of subject proposals maximise the use of available web-based technologies. Once the process outlined above is bedded down, a mechanism for accessing the documents and responding via the Web and/or other associated technologies should be developed and introduced.

That the Committee approve the recommendations set out in points 1 through 5 above, as set out in the progress report of the Education Committee Procedures Review Working Party, for the streamlining of the subject approval procedures.

One aspect of the extended brief of the Working Party is the development of a set of indicators of flexible learning. These are set out in the attached document, Indicators of student-centred flexible learning.

In addition, the Working Party highlighted the need to distinguish terms associated with mode of learning from those associated with mode of enrolment and framed the recommendation that:

• The term 'mode' should be used to refer only to enrolment status, for which there are only two DEETYA categories currently available: on campus, and distance education.

1. That the Committee note the Indicators of student-centred flexible learning, as set out in the document presented.
2. That the Committee endorse the Working Party's recommendation that the term 'mode' should be used to refer only to enrolment status, for which there are only two DEETYA categories currently available: on campus, and distance education.

A document is attached. A16

The Graduate Studies Policy adopted by Academic Board at Meeting 8/95 foreshadowed the development of a Schedule of Exceptions for Masters courses (Recommendations 5, p11 and 11, p14). A draft Schedule is attached for consideration by the Committee in line with recent exceptions to the Policy guidelines approved by the Committee at Meeting 4/98, the Special Meeting of 26 August and Meeting 5/98 of 23 September.

That the Committee endorse the Schedule of Exceptions for approval by Academic Board and inclusion in the Graduate Studies Policy.

A document is attached. A17-A21

At Meeting 5 /98, Education Committee agreed to establish a Working Party to develop a policy on the disestablishment of subjects for implementation by Faculties. The Committee is invited to consider the recommendations of the Working Party as set out in the attached Report and extracted below. Associate Professor L Nethercott (Convenor) will speak to this item.

That the University establish a uniform policy on the disestablishment of subjects. Specifically:

1. Where Faculties seek to disestablish a subject there should be:
• an outline of the reason for the disestablishment
• an explanation of the effect on courses and majors in which it forms a part
• an explanation of the effect on student progression
• an explanation of the effect on other programs outside of the faculty
2. Students should be notified of disestablishment at least 2 years for elective subjects, and pipeline plus one year for core subjects, in advance with appropriate transition provisions so the current students are not disadvantaged.
3. A "standard" form for disestablishment should be submitted to Education Committee.
4. Subjects attracting zero enrolments for three consecutive years should be disestablished routinely, unless a justifiable case is made to the contrary, and departments/faculties should determine their own guidelines for a "low level of enrolments" at each year level.

That the Committee endorse the recommendations of the Working Party on the Disestablishment of Subjects for submission to Academic Board as set out above.
