Curriculum Committee Representation on Other Committees
8.1
International Committee
The Chair invited Dr Jeremy Smith to report on the International Committee.
Dr Jeremy Smith advised the Committee he had seen a presentation on current data
for student enrolments at on-shore partners which showed an increase in on-shore
partners from 2012.
Dr Kim Dowling, Chair of Academic Board, noted that she had attended a meeting on
Tuesday 28 May, which included the Chair of Curriculum Committee, Chair of
Learning & Teaching Committee and Ms Talia Barrett, International Student Academic
Advisor, CLIPP to discuss internationalisation of curriculum. There will be small steps
forward to start thinking about this in terms of larger engagement. Ms Rowena Coutts
has advised she is happy to be part of a working group to discuss and develop an 18
month plan, look at policy work and a plan that could be used internally and externally.
An email has been sent to all Deans/Directors asking for a representative from their
School/Centre for this working party.
8.2
Quality Committee
The Chair invited Ms Claire Rasmussen to report on the Quality Committee.
Ms Claire Rasmussen advised that a tool has been developed to capture student data
for apprentices and trainees who are required to have a documented training plan.
ATOM is a data base that enables recording of work place visits etc. and there are
currently 600 students on this data base. There is capacity for ATOM to be adapted
for all students at UB.
9.
Curriculum Committee Working Parties
9.1
Non-Award Programs
The Chair invited Dr Kim Dowling to report on the Non-Award Programs Working Party.
Dr Dowling submitted the Non-award Programs Guidelines document for members
and advised that at the last meeting of this working party questions were raised about
compliance and AQF which have now been resolved.
The guidelines have been developed to simplify the delivery of non-award programs in
the VET sector. These guidelines enable the VET sector to deliver non-award
programs without having to provide a business case and other documentation to
engage in commercial activity more easily.
These guidelines replace the old VET internal document. It was noted that up-to-date
terminology needs to be used in the document to reflect Schools/Centres and
clarification in regard to wording Statement of Attainment and Certificate of completion
programs as these guidelines are not applicable to programs that provide these
certificates.

Curriculum Committee
Minutes – Meeting CC4/13
Dr Dowling will amend the documentation to clarify the terminology and the applicable
programs for these guidelines.
9.2
Ratification of Results
The Chair invited Ms Shani Clark to report on ratification of results.
Ms Clark advised that guidelines are being amended to create a standardised
approach to ratification of results. Two sets of guidelines will be submitted to the next
meeting of Curriculum Committee.
Assessment in the VET sector is a greater ongoing process than it is in Higher
Education.
Discussion on time needed to complete partner ratification of results for VET and
Higher Education.
Ms Clark noted that these guidelines have scope for Heads of Disciplines to provide a
summary of results for ratification of results meetings. This enables the bulk of the
task to be resolved at meetings held before the final meeting is scheduled.
The Chair advised that this will be discussed further at the next Curriculum Committee
meeting (CC5/13) and if agenda items 9.1 and 9.2 are adopted they can be put up for
consultation and then approved at the following Curriculum Committee meeting
(CC6/13) and can then be removed from the agenda.
9.3
Program Reviews
9.3.1 The revised Review of Established Sealed Programs (Higher Education) Policy
and Review of Established Sealed Programs (Higher Education) Procedure has

the Chair, will be submitted to the next Curriculum Committee meeting for
consideration and approval and forwarded to Academic Board for approval.
The Chair advised he has written to Deans of Higher Education Schools
requesting a list of urgent program reviews so that a priority list of reviews can
be developed.

Other Items Requiring Resolution
11.
The Business School
11.1 Bachelor of Applied Management (Design) VA5
The Chair invited Mr Bob O’Shea to speak to recommendations CC4/13/4 and CC4/13/5.
Mr Bob O’Shea introduced Mr Martin Perkins and Dr Suzanne Blume who were in
attendance to also address these recommendations.
Ms Lyndall Cooper-Smith arrived at 11.25am.
Mr Bob O’Shea advised that this program was originally a 3 year course and The
Business School have only taught the final year. The final year has been the only course
delivered as there has been no demand for 1st and 2nd year courses as pathways through
the Diploma of Management and Advanced Diploma of Management have covered
requirements for entry into final year studies.
Mr Martin Perkins noted that The Business School have three partners in Sydney who
are interested in this program and their Malaysia Partner would like to deliver the full 3
years. This is a rapidly growing niche market and students go out into the workforce with
a lot of business acumen which is captured in the 1st year of Business Management.
Discussion on developing the Diploma and Advanced Diploma into the 3 year Bachelor of
Applied Management (Design) VA5 and the large demand from international partners.
Dr Charlynn Miller sought clarification that if a VET student completed the Diploma of
Management and Advanced Diploma of Management the existing packaging of those
courses would be adjusted to Higher Education requirements.
Dr Suzanne Blume advised that domestic students are required to clearly demonstrate
the 1200 hours of experience component requirement by submitting a portfolio of
evidence. International students would enter the program in the same way as any
undergraduate student. The program has been rewritten and content increased to meet
requirements and compliance regulations.
Ms Claire Rasmussen noted that domestic and international models should look the
same.
Dr Nina Fotinatos arrived at 11.30am.

Curriculum Committee
Minutes – Meeting CC4/13
Mr Martin Perkins advised that The Business School have raised the level of delivery in
the Advanced Diploma of Management to meet the equivalent of the international higher
level and assessments will be the same.
This program will only be for overseas delivery as there has been no demand for it
domestically. Applied Degrees allow for the articulation into 3rd year Higher Education
programs.
Dr Jeremy Smith advised that English Language Proficiency, on page 69 of the agenda,
is listed as .6 when it should be 6.5.
Professor Andy Smith noted that assessment items show increasing level of knowledge.
Dr Suzanne Blume advised that it is implicit that there is a build of knowledge from the
Diploma and Advanced Diploma.
It was agreed that pre-requisite structure and sequencing of delivery in Malaysia is to be
put into the program i.e. x number of units in 1st year must be successfully completed
before entry into 2nd year.
Mr Bob O’Shea will add sequencing structure to the program noting what courses are
offered and when they are offered.
Dr Kim Dowling expressed concern at the high level of knowledge/work required in some
of the units.
Mr Martin Perkins noted that 18/19 year old students who come to study have a high level
of technology knowledge background.
Dr Suzanne Blume advised that in Malaysia, at school level, they are a long way ahead of
us when it comes to using technology.
Dr Richard Dazeley spoke to some of the units included in the course noting they are of
such a high level they would be course within themselves. Students could not be taught
all of these units in one course.
Professor Andy Smith suggested that the program needs to be re-worded with language
that explains that this program is the basis for design so people will understand what level
of learning they will attain. The curriculum content language is at too high a level for what
the intention is.
Dr Richard Dazeley noted that teaching staff/course coordinator/moderator needs to be at
Level 8 or higher qualification to moderate Level 7 units.
The Chair suggested that we hold a Curriculum Committee Executive Committee meeting
to consult with Dr Richard Dazeley and other lecturers from the School of Science,
Information Technology and Engineering about language, clearly identifying learning
outcomes and integrating all comments from members at this meeting.
It was agreed that this recommendation would be approved subject to a satisfactory
outcome for the Curriculum Committee Executive Committee meeting, scheduled for
Tuesday 11 June, and a verbal report being provided at the next meeting of Curriculum
Committee.
Members who agreed to attend the Curriculum Committee Executive Committee meeting
on Tuesday 11 June: Associate Professor Mark Myers, Dr Jeremy Smith, Mr Bob O’Shea,
Dr Richard Dazeley and Dr Nina Fotinatos.

Mr Bob O’Shea introduced Elisa Backer who was in attendance to talk to this resolution.
Elisa reported that this is an interim measure to deal with their most non-compliance
issue until a thorough review of the Honours program can be undertaken next semester.
Discussion on course outlines and noted that this modification makes it consistent and
equitable for moderation.
Dr Richard Dazeley noted that the code BUHON4002 and BUHON4003 is still listed in

Minutes – Meeting CC4/13
The Chair invited Mr Bob O’Shea to speak to recommendations CC4/13/8.
Mr Bob O’Shea advised that these VET qualifications were being requested to be
removed from the Scope of Registration as they are no longer required for delivery by
The School of Business.
Ms Claire Rasmussen noted that the Industry Skills Centre still delivers courses from
Certificates II and II in Retail so this has an impact on the Industry Skills Centre.
Ms Julianne Krusche noted that Certificates I, II and III in Business are delivered at the
prisons as required by Corrections Victoria so there is an impact on UB College also.
Ms Claire Rasmussen suggested that there be a mechanism devised for approval of
removal of courses/qualifications from the Scope of Registration so that consideration is
given to what other Schools/Sections may be delivering. Deans/Directors may sign off the
impact statement not knowing of any specific courses that are being delivered by their
School.
Professor Andy Smith advised that units that need to be kept are to be identified and the
School/Section who does require the unit/course for delivery need to take ownership of
the process where we are using imported units.
The Chair suggested that this matter needs to be discussed at another forum.
It was agreed that seven of the VET qualifications would be approved for removal from
the Scope of Registration and the five VET qualifications identified as still being required
for delivery would not be removed.
Resolution CC4/13/8
Curriculum Committee approved and forwards to Academic Board for approval the
removal of 7 VET Qualifications from the Scope of Registration:


Master of Technology together.
Dr Richard Dazeley advised that the Graduate Diploma is embedded in the Masters program
but the AQF determined that this did not meet compliance regulations. It was decided that
rather than try to correct the content of that program it would be discontinued and it would be
replaced by two new programs.
Dr Richard Dazeley noted that these courses are mostly at AQF level 9 as a minimum and are
innovative new programs to meet AQF Masters requirements.
Mr Bob O’Shea noted that one of the projects has 60 credit points attached to it which is a lot for
a project.
Discussion on IT development in the real world and Dr Richard Dazeley noted that it is 60 credit
points because quite a substantive project is required that includes design documentation.

Implementation Group for Masters Programs.
Mr Bob O’Shea noted that on page 601 of the agenda – the course Social Media Strategy and
Management is very similar to The Business School marketing course.
Discussion on the possibility of conducting shared lectures on common course content although
it was noted that this would be very difficult to do given the different levels of the units.

written in the documentation.
It was agreed that these programs would be approved with the correct documentation
being provided to the Executive Officer of Curriculum Committee and a review of the title

Resolution CC4/13/26
Curriculum Committee approve and forwards to Academic Board for approval, the
modifications to the program SS5 Bachelor of Applied Science (Environmental
Management).
The Chair invited Dr Richard Dazeley to speak to Recommendation CC4/13/27: New and
modified courses from the program Bachelor of Applied Science (Environmental Management).
There was a discussion during this recommendation about some incorrect course codes for the
courses SCENV3110 and SCENV3120 where the course outlines had X’s instead of numbers.
Also that SCENV3120 was missing an ASCED code.
Dr Richard Dazeley also noticed following the meeting that the program documentation from
Resolution 4/13/26 has X’s for some of the new course codes in the program structure.
Curriculum Committee then noted that these agenda papers maybe old and that the correct
documents were received after the Executive Officer generated the agenda papers. The
Executive Officer will follow this up and ensure correct documentation is in the agenda papers.
There was a question on Chemistry 1 being a prerequisite for “SCENV3100 Land and water
contamination” and chemistry 1 not being in the program. Dr Richard Dazeley has advised the
Executive Officer that the answer to that question was that SCENV3100 is an elective course
and Chemistry 1 is also an elective course. To do SCENV3100 they would need to elect to do
chemistry 1 earlier in the program. The reason why Chemistry 1 was not listed is because it is
not an Environmental Management specific elective it is just a general elective where a student
can chose any course they like.
Resolution CC4/13/27
Curriculum Committee approved and forwards to Academic Board for noting, the new
and modified courses from the program Bachelor of Applied Science (Environmental
Management).
New Courses:

UB College
The Chair invited Ms Julianne Krusche to speak to recommendation CC4/13/34 transition to
scope application for CGEA.
Ms Julianne Krusche reported that the CGEA training packages are the main training packages
used at UB College and are also used for delivery of courses for Corrections Victoria.
The CGEA training package is currently in the transition phase and an application needs to be
submitted to ASQA for reaccreditation by 30 July when the current accreditation ends.
Professor Andy Smith noted that this is a tight timeline and there is a risk if the submission to
ASQA is not approved by 30 June particularly in regard to delivery for Corrections Victoria.
Ms Julianne Krusche advised that they had only been able to gain access to the new training
package three weeks ago so they were not able to submit an application to ASQA prior to the
release of the new training package at that time.
Resolution CC4/13/34
Curriculum Committee approved and forwards to Academic Board for noting, the TAFE
Transition to Scope application for CGEA:

22234VIC Course in Initial General Education for Adults

