This survey was designed to solicit unit coordinators to specify the feasibility of delivering their unit via a distance mode of study. It was initially used to aid in planning for a potential campus closure. The survey can be used to support endeavours such as: • Reporting the number of units across a qualification, department or institution that are able to be delivered by distance. • Determining which components of the assessment and/or delivery are viewed as problematic for distance delivery. • Coordinating academic development efforts aimed at assisting unit coordinators to identify opportunities to amend their delivery design and/or make assessment accommodations • Identifying any additional staffing and physical resources which may be required to enable distance delivery for each unit of study.
This decision tree can be used by academic development staff to guide conversations with academic colleagues who are attempting to locate strategies for offering a unit of study by distance which presently features an on-campus exam.
The project’s rationale were to establish a culture of sharing learning resources through community development and to develop a Learning Objective Repository (LOR) for production, use and discovery, as these are necessary elements for developing and maintaining a high quality LOR.

Examination of online learning effectiveness frequently focuses on the success of asynchronous discussion, since it is commonly a core element of online learning, design, management and course delivery. Consequently, asynchronous online discussion boards are one of the most commonly used communication tools in online teaching. At the University of Tasmania, a communication tool is required in every unit MyLO site and so discussion boards, not surprisingly, often serve this purpose.
This page contains links to a series of four templates intended to enable unit designers to design and review a new and/or existing unit of study. These templates are accompanied by a short paper advocating the process and three example unit level learning designs.
A basic HTML page created in MyLo for teachers and learners, developing the different Creative Commons 4.0 license types used in creating, adapting, and sharing objects.
This OEP primer is a guide to the different situations in which we might use a license in the context of teaching and assessing Critical Practices at SOCA. A checklist prepared by TILT, it sets out where and when we might use a license and the different exceptions for object type.
This short MyLo page sets out a number of different design principles for setting and assessing assignments for Critical Practices (BFA) that use Open Educational Principles. It contains examples, together with useful value statements for course handbooks.
