Introduction
W
elcome to the Course Progression Project.
Course Progression a web-based planning tool that works with Banner to
help students and Course Coordinators monitor student's progress toward
degree completion. Course Progression automatically retrieves the student's
academic record from Banner and organises it into an educational plan on the web, easily
identifying program requirements; which courses have been completed; and which courses
the student still needs in order to complete their degree.
During 2013, the first phase of the project consisted of scribing and testing the course rules
for a selected group of courses into Course Progression. It was decided to limit the scope of
Course Progression scribing to 2010 academic year onwards, capturing the majority of
current students. Course Progression will not be able to be used for students enrolled prior
to 2010.
Phase II is designed to complete the scribing and testing for all undergraduate courses for the
current participating Faculties, as well as testing the remaining campuses for Phase I courses.
Also, a small Focus Group of students will be asked to comment on the software. A full list of
participating courses and Course Coordinators can be found in Appendix A.
As Course Coordinator, your role is pivotal in the testing phases, and your contribution is
highly appreciated!
The feedback you provide will be used to ensure quality and data integrity; to correct any
errors; and improve the overall usability of the package. It will directly impact on the success
of the roll-out to the rest of the University and ultimately enhance the course progression
experience for all users.
In order to meet the project deadlines, Phase II testing must be completed and online
Feedback Forms (Appendix B) submitted by no later than COB Friday 28 February 2014.
Should you have any concerns or queries throughout
the process, please do not hesitate to contact
Information Resource Management (IRM) Section by
telephone (07 3623 7467) or email
Course.progression@acu.edu.au.

Testing Approach
Overview
The objective of Course Progression testing is to assess: the legitimacy of the course and
student data presented; usability and the ‘look and feel’ of the software; capacity to meet
Course Coordinator / Course Administrator needs; and the overall course progression
experience.
This workbook contains:•
•
•
testing instructions;
list of courses and Coordinators (Appendix A);
example of the online Feedback Form (Appendix B).
To complete the testing, you will also need your Course Progression login details (User ID
and password) which you should have received via email from IRM. If you have not yet
received your login details, please email course.progression@acu.edu.au.
It is recommended that you also make use of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) resource
available on the Course Progression webpage, which provides more detailed explanation of
the features of the software and possible issues.
Testing Sample
It is considered appropriate to conducting testing on at least 5 student records from each
course-academic year cohort from 2010 to 2013. For example, 5 students from the
Bachelor of Counselling who commenced in 2010; then 5 from 2011 cohort and so on – a total
of 20 students tested for each course).
Student records should be selected at random from each cohort, however, it would be
preferable that these are students that have made significant progress in the course (eg.
completed 50%-75% of the course requirements) to ensure that there is a reasonable test of
the application of course rules to course progression data. For courses that have only
recently been introduced this may not be possible, unless the student has had credit applied.
4
If your course has already been through testing in Phase I, and you are Course Coordinator for
a particular campus, you will be required to check that you are happy with the structure and
layout of the course rules, and that the course rules have been applied accurately to students
from your campus. The same testing sample (above) applies.
Course Feedback
A Feedback Form must be completed for each course-academic year cohort, whether there are
any changes required or not. The inclusion of an example student ID and/or screen shot will
assist in identifying and resolving issues.
Student Record Feedback
Should you locate student record/s that are incorrect (eg. incorrect grade), please submit a
separate Feedback Form per student. Please do not record any identifying student
information on the checklist, other than the Student ID number.

Bachelor of Applied Public Health).
Issues to note include:•
Careful review of the course rules in the
Handbook against those displayed in Course
Progression (this is the ‘front end’ view of
what has been scribed by IRM).
You need to ensure that the course rules have
been interpretted accurately, and that the
course structure and headings are consistent
with requirements.
•
Check that the students’ record has correctly
loaded from Banner, and that the course rules
have been appliedby Course Progression to
faithfully reflect that students’ progression in
the course.
Specific areas to check are:-
•
Degree
•
Academic Year
•
Credit Required
•
Degree Name/Title
•
Majors/Minors
•
Course descriptions
•
Fallthrough / Insufficient / In Progress
•
Completion Requirements as per the relevant Handbook; and
•
Schedule of Unit Offerings
•
Banner data (for the same student).

Particular areas for noting are highlighted on the screen shot below.

7.
Repeat the review process for 5 student records from the current cohort.
8.
Complete an online Feedback Form for each Course-Academic Year cohort (2010-
9.
2013)– regardless of whether there are any issues found or not (for our records).
Complete a separate online Feedback Form for each student record you identify as having
issues / errors to be addressed.
To assist us in our review of your feedback…
•
•
Please provide a student ID number as a reference point
wherever possible to allow us to view the error in the
system.
Sometimes it is hard to describe the issue - screen shots
can be useful when trying to work out what the issue is and
how to best address it. (Save the screen shot to your
desktop and upload the picture to the Feedback Form)

4.
Reviewing your feedback
Once you have submitted your feedback via the online Feedback Form, IRM will log the
issue/s as a job.
You will receive an email notification with the job reference number and details. Should you
wish to contact IRM regarding a particular issue, please reference the job number provided.
IRM will review the issue/s and take action wherever possible. If required, we will be in
contact with you to seek clarification or discuss possible solutions.
Once the job has been completed, you will receive another email notification advising of the
outcome of your feedback and details of any actions taken. We would appreciate it if you
could check the issue again and advise whether the matter has been resolved to your
satisfaction. If not, please provide details or outstanding issues and we will review the job.
If there are no further issues and the matter has been resolved, please advise us and we will
close the job.
