Special considerations for online assessment

Due to the recent change to online assessments the special consideration <u> website </u> has been updated and the special consideration guidelines to include what a student should do if they experience technical issues whilst completing an assessment. The following information has been added:

If a student experiences a technical or connection problem during an online assessment, they should take the following steps:

1. Take screenshots of as many of the following as possible:
   • error messages
   • screen not loading
   • timestamped speed tests
   • power outage maps
2. If the Course Coordinator or Tutor is present online during the assessment in chat, make contact immediately and advise them of the issue.
3. Submit a Special Consideration application immediately at the conclusion of your assessment and upload your screenshots.

Time zones –We are having many students apply for special consideration due to time difference. It is currently the expectation that students are able to complete the assessment based on the Australian Eastern Standard Time, AEST that has been set.
