Student support for examinations
The Library's AskUs service provides student support for examinations including school-based and digital assessments. If you are a course coordinator and would like your students to have access to online support for school-based exams, please provide all online exam details for this semester.
Please note that at least two weeks’ notice in advance of the scheduled assessment date is required to ensure exam support is available to students.
Student Academic Integrity module
The University strongly recommends that course coordinators encourage students to complete the compulsory Academic Integrity Modules (AIM) before submitting their first assessment task. The modules explain to students the concept of academic integrity and how to maintain the highest standards in their own work.

Reminder – SECaT action items
A reminder to course coordinators that all Electronic Course Profile (ECP) data should should now be finalised as census has past. The Evaluations Team will use ECP data to create Student Evaluation of Course and Teacher (SECaT) surveys. Any course with a listed course coordinator in the ECP will result in a SECaT course survey. Any teacher listed in a ‘Lecturer’ or ‘Associate Lecturer’ role in the ECP will result in a SECaT teaching survey.

Expressions of interest (EOIs) for the UQ Awards for Excellence in Teaching and Learning are now open until Friday 22 April. These include:

Control the release of results
During marking or moderation, you may not be ready for students to see their results. To control the release of results from Turnitin, Blackboard assignments and tests you need to carefully set both the individual tool settings and the Grade Centre column settings (hide from students on/off).
Interpreting a Turnitin Similarity Report
The Turnitin Similarity Report compares submissions with web content, previously submitted assignments and journals. Turnitin conducted an Interpreting a Turnitin Similarity Report webcast (42m 28s) with Senior Lecturer Dr Ann Rogerson at the University of Wollongong to assist academics with understanding the reports.
Write, cite and submit – Digital Essentials module
The Write, cite and submit module (part of Digital Essentials) introduces students to plagiarism, referencing style guides and assignment submission requirements. The module is designed to be embedded into courses so students can find the information they need, when they need it.
Course Insights – How engaged are your students?
Course Insights is UQ's own course-level learning analytics dashboard, available to all course coordinators via Learn.UQ. The Engagement section provides staff with information about student engagement in Learn.UQ and LearnX and identifies disengaged students to contact prior to the census date.
