This unit provides an introduction to asset management within an organisation. You will evaluate organisational structure that supports asset maintenance and management. You will compare different asset management principles and work processes to develop a rudimentary organisational structure that meets the regulatory requirements for asset maintenance and management. You will also research and evaluate changes in organisation’s asset management principles driven by market trends, the industry and regulatory environment including contracting strategies.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

The presentation of the online lecture needs to improve to engage students.

A new lecturer more familiar with online lecture delivery will take this unit for the next offering (Term 1, 2022). This decision is also in line with some of the issues highlighted above. However, in addition to this change, the teaching team will implement improvements in the following areas: Use updated and engaging slides and teaching materials. This will include visuals, videos and appealing PowerPoint slides to make the content more exciting and interactive. Use teaching tools to enhance engagement, such as weekly visual quizzes embedded into Moodle. The teaching team will involve students in learning by asking questions, providing feedback, and collaborating with their peers. The lecturer will ensure participants can reflect on the weekly topics and engage with their peers during weekly sessions. The lecturer will also use real-life examples and case studies to connect with students. This will help them relate to the content and stay engaged throughout the lecture.

The module notes have a lot of areas for improvement. There are case studies, tables and figures that are referred to but not part of any course material. Some of the case studies were part of the Strategies module but not everyone will have done that module to know that.

Module notes and other teaching resources, including lecture slides, study materials, case studies, and referenced tables and figures, will be reviewed and updated to ensure all materials are provided on Moodle. Additionally, module notes will be enhanced using a new design to improve engagement and access to the required study resources. This will allow all the relevant content, such as weekly module notes, figures and tables, to be stored in specific documents. Furthermore, the assessments will be updated, focusing on industry best practices such as ISO standards. A new marking rubric aligning with evaluations will be developed, and both documents will be placed on the Assessment block of Moodle. The teaching team will ensure the Moodle sections and content are user-friendly and easily accessible for students.

With two lecturers and change in assessors mid term in T2 2021 was difficult to navigate who to discuss concerns.

The teaching team will ensure that at the start of each term, students are introduced to emergency contact points for the involved academics, and the UC and Lecturer contact details will be published on the Moodle site to avoid similar circumstances in the future.
