Annual course and unit reviews

NOTE:
Further details, information and supporting documentation is available on the Academic Quality and Standards SharePoint site. Please note access to this site requires an ECU staff login.

The annual review of courses and coursework units is an important part of ECU's approach to academic quality and continuous improvement. The reviews are conducted to ensure relevance and quality of ECU’s curriculum, particularly in relation to student learning and the student experience. Reviews are conducted through the web-based application ECUonQ, where course and unit coordinators will:

  • use data to make informed decisions about the continuous quality improvement of coursework units and courses;
  • analyse trends and performance over time;
  • develop and manage action plans to address issues or where improvements are needed; and
  • access a history of quality improvement activity and good practice.

Regular monitoring of courses and units is an important aspect of academic quality assurance; and helps to inform other processes such as the major course review and professional accreditation applications.

ECUonQ is accessible via the Easy Logins menu in the Staff Portal. If you are unable to access it, please contact Academic Quality and Standards.
