Course materials
The following course materials support the creation and use of consistent course-related documentation.
Course Outline
The Course Outline, formally Course Information Booklet, is a binding document which provides students with essential teaching, learning, assessment and administrative information about a course.
The 2012 Course Outline for internal, external and offshore courses are designed to provide course-specific information (print and/or online) to students and links to specific University policy and guidelines.
In 2012 all Course Outlines must be created using the online Course Outline System which has replaced the manual creation of the Course Information Booklet (CIB). Visit the Course Outline website for more information about the system.
