What is review?

REVIEW is a web-based Assurance of Learning (AoL) solution, allowing Universities to automate marking of criteria-based assessment of students, formulated by program learning goals and graduate attributes.

Graduate attributes are the skills students should be developing, the qualities they need to acquire and the knowledge literacy and conceptual frameworks they need to construct.

REVIEW breaks down graduate attributes into five user definable categories. As illustrated in the diagram each category has a colour and symbols are also used to accomodate colour blind users.

REVIEW enables students to self-assess their own work against specific criteria and monitor their disciplinary skills.
