Deakin's curriculum framework
Deakin's courses are structured to get the best out of students and staff. We structure our teaching and learning to align with graduate learning outcomes. We do this by monitoring and updating courses to always align with industry insight.
Graduate Learning Outcomes
Deakin promises to educate learners for the jobs and skills of the future with courses that are highly personal, engaging and include relevant learning experiences.
Online learning
Students can access study and administrative tools through DeakinSync, and study all or part of their course through Deakin's Cloud Campus.
Assessing and evaluating
Assessing and evaluating is an ongoing practice within subject and program design at Deakin.
Student assessment is related to the real world, and provides evidence of learning achievement. Through the evaluation of teaching, along with support and unit resources, we seek to improve learning and teaching outcomes.
The Deakin Promise in learning, through LIVE the future, is to offer brilliant education where the students are and where they want to go.
DEPUTY VICE-CHANCELLOR EDUCATION
CRADLE
The Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) investigates how we can best assess higher education learning outcomes in an era of rapid digital change.
Deakin Hallmarks
Deakin Hallmarks are awards that recognise students' outstanding achievement and reflect upon their employability. The awards have been developed between faculties and employers so that they signify outstanding achievement as valued and judged in professional life.
Higher Education Academy (HEA) fellowships
The HEA fellowship scheme provides individuals with international recognition of their practice, impact and leadership of teaching and learning. The fellowships are increasingly recognised in the higher education sector in Australia and internationally. Deakin will aim to include HEA fellowships as a component of a larger program of professional development for learning and teaching.

The TeachAssist resource site provides information and resources for the design and delivery of learning and teaching, including instructional videos and web links for staff to help with developing digital learning resources, assessment and feedback design, using collaborative tools and leading courses.
The site includes guides specific resources for educational tools including the CloudDeakin platform, virtual classrooms, self and peer assessment, Me in a Minute video profiles and educational blogging tools.
