Meeting No. 4/2000 of the Education Committee was held on Wednesday, 21 June 2000 in the Sir George Lush Room, Administration Building 3A, Clayton Campus, between 10:00am and 12:00pm

Ms K Wilson-Reid

Executive Officer

There were present: Professor A. Lindsay (Chair), Professor M Evans (Acting Chair), Dr D Cuthbert, Mr K Bensley, Associate Professors A Farley, L Nethercott, P Gronn, K Ng and J Hurst, Mr C Avram, Associate Professor S Campbell, Professor G Taylor, Dr K Macrae, Associate Professor M Morgan and Professors M King, J Harris, G Webb and L Johnson.

In Attendance were: Professors S Parker, G Griffin and R Cullen, Mr C Vernon, Mr P Lawford, Mr P Yates, Ms K Wilson-Reid and Ms S Stafford.

The Chair, Professor A Lindsay, left the meeting at 11:15am to attend to additional commitments. Professor M Evans chaired the remainder of the meeting on behalf of Professor Lindsay.

The agenda items were considered at the meeting in the following order: 2; 10.1.1; 10.1.3; 5.1; Other Business; 6; 1; 2; 5.1; 7; 9.1; 9.4; 10.1.2; 10.1.3; 10.1.4; 11.1; 12; 12.1.1; 12.1.2; 12.1.3; 12.1.4; 13.4; 14.1; and 16.1.

Apologies for this meeting were received from Associate Professors L Roller and D Garrioch, Mr N Turner and Ms J Nicholas.

The Committee noted that certain items had been starred as requiring discussion. At the meeting, items 9.4 and 12 were nominated as additional items to be starred.

The Committee endorsed the recommendations for all items other than those starred.

The Committee approved the Minutes of Meeting 3/2000 held Wednesday, 10 May 2000, which had been circulated separately.

The Committee noted that each recommendation in the Report of Education Committee Meeting 3/2000 was approved by the Academic Board.

At its Meeting 3/2000 (items 10.1.2 and 10.1.3), the Education Committee endorsed major amendments to the Master of Laws, subject to clarification prior to submission to Academic Board about whether the amendments would involve the addition of tagged titles, or the addition of specialisations. Members noted that the major amendments were clarified, forwarded to the Academic Board and approved as the addition of tagged titles, so that those tagged versions of the awards would be titled Master of Laws (Internet and Electronic Law) and Graduate Diploma in Law (Internet and Electronic Law). An amended document for the major amendments was also forwarded to the Academic Board, and was circulated in the Education Committee Agenda 4/2000 for reference (p 1-4).

A matter had been raised by a student member of the Academic Board about the inclusion in subject descriptions in the University Handbooks of information about residential or on-campus attendance requirements for students enrolled in distance education mode. This matter was discussed briefly at Academic Board Meeting 3/2000 and was referred to Education Committee for consideration and action. The Education Committee noted that the current versions of the Subject/Unit Proposal Proformas do incorporate information relating to on-campus activities for distance education students (under the section Resource Requirements and Student Support). Members noted that with minor modification, the request for necessary information on attendance requirements could be incorporated for use in creating handbook entries.

This item was foreshadowed at Meeting 3/2000, where the Chair, Professor A Lindsay, advised that various aspects of the offering of masters degrees at Monash had recently been raised throughout the University and that these issues would require consideration in a more consolidated fashion. (At that meeting, consideration of a proposal from the Board of the Faculty of Business and Economics to make major amendments to its coursework masters degrees (agenda item 7.2.1) was also deferred pending consideration of some of these matters.)

A draft issues paper was circulated regarding various aspects of masters offerings at Monash (p 5-26). The paper was prepared by Professor M Evans, Director of Planning and Academic Affairs, based on information provided by Associate Deans Graduate Studies, and also websites of other GO8 universities.

Professor Lindsay informed members that following the Education Committee’s consideration of the coursework-related aspects of this item the paper would be forwarded to the Committee of Deans. It was noted that sections of the paper concerning research would be considered by the PhD and Scholarships Committee. Professor Lindsay also foreshadowed that the relationship between coursework masters (particularly 48 point programs) and graduate/postgraduate diplomas would soon require consideration.

Professor M Evans highlighted to the Committee that the characteristics and traditional pathways for completion of a coursework masters program had changed considerably in recent years. Members noted Professor Evans’ advice that following recent reviews, clear distinctions had been drawn in some universities including the ANU, Sydney and Queensland, between coursework and research masters in relation to entry, duration and nomenclature. Members were invited to consider whether such distinctions should be made, for similar reasons, between the coursework and research masters offerings at Monash.

General support for the directions suggested in the paper was noted from various members. Detailed discussion ensued regarding aspects of the paper and the proposals contained therein, including issues about:

• differentiation of pathways that could lead to PhD programs;

• consideration of global, as well as national, comparisons in relation to future directions for Monash’s masters offerings;

• consideration of these matters in the context of national reviews (eg. AQF review);

• advertising considerations, particularly in relation to graduate/postgraduate diplomas. It was noted that these awards were not well recognised in the international marketplace;

• articulation arrangements from graduate/postgraduate diplomas and honours. Comments were received from some faculties that articulation to masters with full credit was more appropriate from postgraduate, rather than a graduate, diplomas. A suggestion was made that the word "pathways" may be more appropriate than "articulation" under the proposal in the first section. An additional point was made that the duration of a masters degree may need to be longer for some students who did not have an appropriate qualification in the cognate area; and

• nomenclature for research masters degrees. Comments were received about titling, including possibilities such as Master of X (Research) and Master of Philosophy. Members noted that the PhD and Scholarships Committee would give detailed consideration to the research-related matters contained in the paper.

During discussion regarding global comparisons, particularly in relation to the duration of masters programs, it was noted that there was a general movement in some areas (eg. UK and USA) toward one year masters programs following from a bachelors degree. The Committee noted the differences between the Australian system (which normally includes fourth year honours and equivalents) and European and American systems and noted the Chair’s advice that it would be preferable for Monash to move in concert with Go8 universities in this regard.

The Education Committee considered and provided comment about the matters raised in the discussion paper presented regarding various aspects of Monash’s masters offerings. Members noted that further consideration would be given to the paper at the Committee of Deans and the PhD and Scholarships Committee prior to recommendations being forwarded to the Academic Board.

A document titled Integrated Approach to Academic and Resource Planning, presented by Professor A Lindsay, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Planning), was circulated (p 27-44).

Professor Lindsay spoke to this item and informed the Committee about the useful feedback that had been received and changes that had been made to the original process for the integrated planning approach. In particular, the original Stage One and 2 pro-formas had been integrated into one course pro-forma with a number of supplements relating to detailed areas for consideration in the planning process. Members noted the Chair’s advice that a working party would be established to develop the interactive (web-based) implementation of the new planning approach. Professor Lindsay highlighted that under the new arrangements, the Education Committee would provide support to the Academic Board in the exercise of its strategic overview function, by helping to monitor the University’s course portfolio.

Members noted that Ms S Stafford, Executive Officer to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Planning), was in attendance at the meeting to note the points arising from discussion about this item and to field further queries following Professor Lindsay’s departure from the meeting.

The Committee considered and provided comment about various aspects of the proposed integrated planning approach, including in particular arrangements for new subjects and major course amendments; the continued importance of cross-faculty consultation and the central University role in strategic oversight; quality assurance and review; and market and resource planning.

Members noted that any further comments about the Integrated Academic and Resource Planning Approach document could be directed to the Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Planning) following the meeting.

The final Report of the Education Committee LTOP Working Party on the Development of Flexible Programs and Pathways, presented by the convenor of the working party, Associate Professor A Farley, was circulated (p 45-66).

Associate Professor Farley introduced the Report and highlighted that the recommendations could be grouped into the following categories: recommendations 1 to 3 - course flexibility; 4 to 10 – student workload issues; 11 to 15 – modular programs; and 16 to 30 – recognition of prior learning (RPL). Members noted Associate Professor Farley’s advice regarding the Report’s major areas of change from the University’s current practices including details about overload and course length and flexibility.

Discussed occurred regarding aspects of the Report’s recommendations, including:

• the need for faculty consideration of modular structures at the undergraduate level similar to those in existence at the graduate/postgraduate level;

• use of RPL at the undergraduate level. It was noted that the Admissions Committee would find information in this Report about RPL at the undergraduate level to be useful for the development of a template for faculty use;

• Professor M King requested that a statement be included in the Report to highlight that prior research may be used for RPL during admission to research, however that it should not be used for credit towards a thesis;

• a suggestion that the wording under recommendation 13 be amended from "That faculties offer…" to "That faculties give consideration to offering…"; and

• a suggestion was made that a footnote be included in the Report about rules for charging for requests for RPL.

The Committee noted that Faculty Registrars/Managers had been asked to report to the Admissions Committee about RPL. It was agreed that the revised version of the Report would be forwarded to Ms J Vero, for distribution of the section about RPL to Registrars for their reference. A request was also noted that Associate Deans Teaching receive a copy of the submissions made to the Admissions Committee in relation to the RPL item.

The Education Committee considered and gave in-principal approval to the Report of the LTOP Working Party on Flexible Programs and Pathways presented, including each of the recommendations, and invited further comments prior to submission of the Report to the Academic Board.

This item was added at the meeting by the Chair, Professor A Lindsay.

Professor Lindsay informed members about recent changes to the portfolios of the Deputy Vice-Chancellors and changes to the structure of the University’s support services. Members noted that the emerging structure for the University’s support services could be accessed on the web at the following address:

http://www.monash.edu.au/staff/chart.html

The Committee noted that following long-term discussions, careful consideration was being given to the respective roles of CHED and CeLTS. Professor Lindsay advised that the efforts of these two areas would be more specifically focussed towards the realisation of particular strengths. Members noted that a major focus for CeLTS would be the University’s offshore activities. The Chair advised also that the Vice-Chancellor strongly supported the establishment of a centre dealing with quality assurance, to be headed by Professor G Webb who had extensive experience and expertise in this area. This centre would serve to strengthen the University’s position in relation to quality, further to the considerable efforts already made by CHED in this area, and ensure that Monash could continue to meet or surpass national and international quality standards in the future.

A document was circulated (p 67-72).

The Education Committee received and noted the Report of Meetings 1/2000 and 2/2000 of the Board of the Faculty of Art and Design held 15 March and 15 May 2000, as well as a report of a meeting of the Faculty Executive Committee, and considered each item requiring action separately for submission to the Academic Board.
