Moderation Pilot Project 2008

Curtin recognises the importance of moderation for the quality assurance and enhancement of assessment. During 2008, the University Teaching & Learning Committee (UTLC) established an Assessment and Moderation working party with a remit to investigate and report on issues relating to moderation and fair assessment, and to test whether financial supplementation of unit coordinators is an effective way to ensure sufficient support for implementation of moderation procedures. The terms of reference of this working party were to:

    1. define moderation at Curtin;
    2. develop a quality assessment process for moderation;
    3. oversee a moderation pilot project which included financial supplementation to participating unit coordinators.

The working party produced a final report [PDF 215kb], which included a series of recommendations [PDF 64kb].  These recommendations have informed the transitional funding arrangements for the development of moderation at Curtin, following the implementation of the moderation policy for Semester 2, 2009.
