							                          2011 Coursework Audit Coversheet


                    2011 Coursework Audit – Coversheet
  (For all studies except Food and Technology and Physical Education)


 The purpose of the coursework audit is to quality assure school-based assessment
 programs and to identify instances for school improvement. In addition it may
 provide an opportunity to recognise excellence in assessment design and practice.
 The coursework audit also provides feedback to the VCAA on the implementation of
 school assessed coursework and thereby may also provide feedback on the Study
 Design itself.

 The audit results for each study will be emailed to each provider. If the audit result
 is satisfactory no further action will be required by the provider for unit 3. If the audit
 result is unsatisfactory the VCAA will determine follow-up action, normally including
 contact with the VCE Coordinator and/or the Principal and relevant teaching staff.

 If the VCAA has requested an audit for a LOTE study, tapes or CDs are not needed
 as part of the submission.

 Providers selected for audit must submit material electronically to the VCAA as one
 PDF file for each study. This PDF file for each study must contain:
  The completed coversheet
  All tasks for all outcomes presented in sequential order
  Evidence of scoring practice, for example a marking guide, a criteria sheet,
    performance descriptors (page reference from Assessment Handbook is
    sufficient).

 Each PDF file should be named using the following file convention:

 study code and unit_VCAA school number (five digits)

 For example, a submission for English Unit 3 for VCAA school number 00000 would
 be named EN013_00000.pdf
