In T2, DigEd piloted a new integrated approach to OLX delivery. Following a successful trimester, the OLXi project team ran an evaluation phase and have designed an improved process based on consultation and feedback from stakeholders – here’s what to expect in T3.
With results released to students yesterday, the T2 assessment period has now concluded, capping off an intense and productive few months focused on transforming assessment at UNE. This post is a quick review of the trimester that was.
In March this year, following a request to expand the time between Trimester 3 2022 and Trimester 1 2023, Council approved an amendment to the 2022 Principal Dates. This is a quick overview of the associated change to the assessment period.
