The is headed by the Assistant Deputy Vice-Chancellor Program and Curricula and contains a specialist section for Program Review and Improvement. Academic Faculties Faculty Academic s (FAC) The FAC is responsible for implementing the policy and procedure related to program review. Industry Advisory (IAC) Industry Advisory s (IAC's) provide input from local industry professionals and other external stakeholder into the programme and its courses from the perspective of industry professionals and external community stakeholders. Academic Council The Academic Council receives and evaluates recommendations from the Curriculum Quality Assurance and endorses them for approval by the Executive or Board of Trustees. System-wide Curriculum Quality Assurance (CQA) The oversees and supports the implementation of the program quality review provision, and reports annually to Academic Council on the effectiveness of program quality review processes and activities. The approves the Cyclical Program Review calendar. Board of Trustees The Board approves the teaching-out of an academic program across the HCT. Institutional Research Unit, Organizational Excellence (IR) IR provides input in terms of institutional research data and analysis, and monitors the effectiveness of the academic program quality review provision. IR also publishes an annual Institutional Effectiveness (IE) Report which contains Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Academic Faculties and campuses. The Report provides trend analysis of institutional effectiveness indicators over the last three years, responses from Academic Faculties and campuses on the past trends, targets and action plans for improvement. 5.1

2 Programme Quality Review Framework Purpose The HCT s academic Programme Review Policy is designed to ensure that programmes are: Aligned to the Mission of the HCT Regularly enhanced to meet the changing needs of the nation and its economy Continuously improved for effective learning Upgraded to align with new and emerging technologies Effectively resourced in terms of instructors, teaching and learning resources, computer and information technology, physical facilities, and budgeting Requirement Academic Programs Process Frequency Focus Timeline HCT 2.0 Bachelor s, Higher Diploma, Diploma Program Learning Outcome Assessment Each PLO at least once every 3 years Minimum 30% of PLOs per year Teaching & Learning August HCT 2.0 Bachelor s, Higher Diploma, Diploma Annual Program Audit Yearly review of key indicators Program Health Check October Bachelor: every 5 years HCT 2.0 Bachelor s, Higher Diploma, Diploma Cyclical Program Review Higher Diploma: every 4 years Program Continuance December Diploma: every 3 years HCT 2.0 Bachelor s, Higher Diploma, Diploma External Accreditation of Academic Programs Periodically (depending on external accreditation schedule) International Standards - 5.2

5 Programme Learning Outcome Assessment Purpose The purpose of PLO Assessment is to monitor the effectiveness of the curriculum and to guide quality improvements to programs. There are two types of PLO assessment: Summative PLO Assessment The main purpose of institutional PLO Assessment is to gather evidence of the cumulative effect of the program curriculum on student learning. Assessments selected from courses close to graduation Courses identified in the Curriculum Map as where students would be able to demonstrate their mastery of the target PLO. Formative PLO Assessment The focus is to provide faculty and students with valuable feedback on progress towards achieving PLOs. The administers throughout the program length employing course assessments aligned to the specific PLO. PLO Cycle Evidence of Student Achievement There are two types of evidence collected: Direct evidence of student achievement of programme learning outcome using embedded course assessments. Academic Faculties may also employ alternatives to embedded assessment such as specially designed assessment tasks, external examinations etc. Indirect evidence of student achievement of programme learning outcomes is collected by means of surveys. The survey results and their analysis form part of the Annual Program Audit Report (see below). Surveys used include the Student Exit Survey, Graduate Employment Survey, Graduate Employer Survey. Requirement For each academic program: Each programme learning outcome is to be assessed at least once over a three year period. A minimum of 30% of programme learning outcomes must be assessed each academic year. Each identifies assessments to provide evidence of student achievement of each Programme Learning Outcome (PLO). Faculties then interpret the results and provide an action plan to address any shortcomings. Typically, the assessments used to provide evidence are assessments from towards graduation e.g. courses in year 3 or year 4 of the programme. The designated assessments should be common assessments i.e. the assessment instrument (oral defence, portfolio, project, report, test etc.), marking scheme or rubric, grading and standards of achievement should be the same for all students taking the assessment across the system. Academic Faculties must ensure that the following are kept for example in the relevant electronic Course File (ecaf): Copies of the assessment instrument Marking scheme/rubric Details of moderation process Samples of student work reflecting the range of performance - wherever possible Quantitative analysis of results 5.5

Academic Faculties select the most valid assessments to be used as evidence of student achievement of programme learning outcomes from year 3 or year 4 BAS courses, and from year 2 Diploma courses. Best practice indicates that Faculties should identify a number of different assessment tasks to provide for a wider sampling of student learning allowing students to demonstrate a wider range of knowledge, skills and competencies than can be observed from reliance on a single form of assessment such as a written examination. 5.8

9 The designated assessment must provide sufficient depth and scope to produce valid evidence of student achievement of the targeted programme learning outcome. In cases where no single assessment is sufficient, a number of assessment may be designated. Each designated assessment becomes a common assessment i.e. the assessment instrument (oral defence, portfolio, project, report, test etc.), marking scheme or rubric, grading and standards of achievement are the same for all students taking the assessment across the system. Illustration: 3-Year PLO Assessment Plan PLO Programme Learning Outcome An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline CIS 3003: FWA 2 An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution 3 An ability to analyse a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution. CIS 4906: Capstone project CIS 4906: Capstone project 4 An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal CIS 4103: CSA 5 An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities CIS 3103: CSA etc Annual Programme Learning Outcome Assessment In each academic year, it is expected that for each program, evidence of student achievement will be collected for a minimum of 30% of each of programme s learning outcomes. Process Step Process When By Action Plan Develop assessment plans for each PLO Designate assessments for each PLO Start of academic year Faculty Academic Submit to Executive Dean to review and recommend for approval by Program & Curricula Do Implement assessment plan consistently across classes and delivery sites Throughout academic year (Course Team) Administer assessments Collect data from direct assessment Throughout academic year (Course Team) Mark and record results 5.9

Report effectiveness of QA process Throughout academic year and Program & Curricula Input to Annual Program Audit Annual Programme Learning Outcome Assessment Plan and Report The Plan describes how the Long Term Plan will be implemented in the academic year and the standard to be used for evaluating student achievement. When completed, the Report provides the results of the assessment used as evidence, the analysis of the results, and plans to deal with any shortfalls in meeting expectations (e.g. issues related to the assessment task used etc.) and to improve student learning (e.g. modifications to teaching & learning strategies, materials etc.). Annual Program Learning Outcome Assessment Report The template provides: 1) the assessment plan for the year 2) when completed forms the annual assessment report The template is completed to report assessment results for the system as a whole and then to report the results campus by campus. Rows can be added to report multiple assessments for a single PLO including additional direct assessment or indirect assessments (e.g. surveys). 5.10

PLO No. PLO wording Course code Assessment Task/Instrument Target Campus No. of Students Result Analysis Areas for Action Notes Target: the default (80% of students achieving standard) may be changed to reflect the academic judgment of the level of challenge of the assessment task. Analysis: Focus should be on identifying areas for improving student learning e.g. curriculum, delivery, resources, student progression etc. Areas for Action: Summarise key areas for improvement. Use the separate Action Plan Template to provide detail & timelines. Important: a 'Timeline' is required for each action. Actions to improve the assessment itself or target set affect the quality of the process and do not improve student learning. They should be noted here but not be included in the detailed Action Plan. Areas for Action Actions for improvement are the key outcomes of the assessment process and should be completed for the System and separately by each campus. The purpose of these actions is to improve student learning and provide evidence to stakeholders and accreditation agencies of the use of assessment results to improve the quality of the academic program and to enhance student learning. Each area for action should have its own Action Plan which provides further details and timelines of the actions to be taken.
