With T1 and the implementation of UNE’s Assessment Architecture fast approaching, here is a summary of some of the changes you will see in your myLearn sites to support the transition.
Assessment Titles and Details
The call-out boxes for assessments in each unit will be updated to visually indicate to students if a task is an ASSURANCE or a LEARNING task, with additional information pulled, as before, directly from the Handbook. The Learning Design team is updating these items at the moment and will continue to work on them over the next few days.
Example of an ASSURANCE task:

Removal of AI Information in Learning Tasks & New Template for Assurance Tasks
As part of the site setup process for Trimester 1, the Learning Design team will remove any existing information regarding permitted or prohibited technologies from the assessment description page for LEARNING tasks (where there are no restrictions to the use of GenAI) to align with the requirements/policy around changes to AI restrictions in non-assurance tasks, and how academic integrity is managed. If you have information in other places in your unit sites carried over from last year prohibiting the use of technologies such as GenAI, please make sure you remove that information prior to the start of teaching.
For ASSURANCE tasks, a new information template will be added to the description for you to complete with any information that students might require, especially where the use of generative AI is fully or partially permitted.
TurnItIn AI indicator
With the implementation of the new two-lane assessment architecture, which does not restrict generative AI in Learning Tasks, the GenAI indicator in Turnitin becomes obsolete for academic integrity investigations. To avoid confusion, it will be disabled across all assessments submitted to TII on Wednesday, 18th February. All other reporting and grading functions in Turnitin will remain unchanged.
Look out for more information about this change in the next few days.
Hurdle Tasks
For Assurance tasks that have an individual hurdle requirement (e.g. students must pass the task to pass the unit) we have set a “Grade to Pass” in the myLearn Gradebook. The Grade to Pass will help identify whether students have met the hurdle requirement – you will now see the student grade highlighted in green (pass mark achieved) or red (under pass mark required) for each student, either for individual assessment item results or for bundled results where the requirement is to pass a collection of tasks.
Support
An information page for students is available in the Learning Online support site. FAQ will be updated as we receive feedback and questions from students throughout the year.
For unit coordinators, the Learning Design team has put together a comprehensive guide in Teaching Online covering different potential assessment types for both learning and assurance tasks. A series of webinars is also planned between now and the start of teaching in late February
