Higher education has seen significant changes in the focus of digital learning, teaching, and assessment in the last decade.The shift has moved to focus on assessment as learning, rather than of learning, and to a more evidence-based understanding of assessment.In response to this shift, Deakin University recently engaged in a university-wide process of course/program 1 enhancement to offer anywhere, anytime learning to its learners.Deakin University's teaching and learning strategic goal presented in LIVE the future 2 (Oliver, 2015) tackled "course enhancement" by implementing an underpinning curriculum model and assurance of learning through aligned learning outcomes and evidence-based assessment.Course enhancement was a faculty-wide program of evaluation, graduate attribute alignment, innovative digital learning design, and academic development.Under the leadership of Professor Beverley Oliver, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education), and the Deakin Learning Futures team, this high-quality course enhancement was an innovative and groundbreaking university-wide approach to learning design, student experience, and higher education teaching.It allowed for a broad and wide-reaching program of deep professional learning for faculty to co-design and co-develop future focused, authentic, and digital learning, teaching and assessment programs.Commencing in late 2012, it was an initiative of Deakin's LIVE the Future: Agenda 2020 and led by a set of overarching and 1.In the Australian context, a course is a program of study leading to a degree and is made up of a number of units (courses), normally 24 in a three-year undergraduate degree.2.
