Use of a Connect Master Unit Framework is required to facilitate a consistent user experience across all TAFE online delivery; enhance the interchange and sharing of regional resources; simplify training; maximise efficiency of reproduction and reduce setup times.

All product development teams within TAFE Queensland will utilise this unit as the basis for their product creation. Regional copies of the framework unit should not be created.

Alteration of this framework unit without prior permission from the Chief Academic Officer via the Director, Learning Technology Innovation and Services.

If Master Product exists, it must be used to create a unit offering. If none exists, regional product can be used and the assessment must meet the requirements as outlined in TAFE Queensland’s 123 Assessment PR procedure available on SPOT.

Connect unit naming conventions

https://tafeqld.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/881950730/Connect+Unit+Naming+Conventions

The naming convention to be applied to all connect unit is detailed in on the link provided.

Consistency of Table of Contents module sequence

The aim is to keep the top-level Table of Contents uniform across all unit offerings to provide consistency and a sense of place for all users no matter where the unit originated. Variation will come at the topic or sub-module level where customisation to regional product occur as indicated in the numbered sections below. The Master Product Continuous Improvement Procedure available on SPOT provides information on the process to be followed when customisation is required to a Master Product. Any images used in module headers should be attributed to the creator of the image.

Capitalisation rule

Headers (module, sub-module, topics) to be capitalised (first word only) unless a proper noun is used.

System generated modules

Bookmarks, Upcoming Events and Table of Contents are system generated and the capitalisation cannot be changed. Bookmarks and Upcoming Events should be left blank in Master Product and will typically only be used in a unit offering.

Intelligent Agents

There is a standard suite of intelligent agents for educators and facilitators to use that should be included with the Connect Master Unit Framework through a secondary import. By default not all are enabled and teachers will need to follow the instructions in the descriptions to ensure they apply the agent appropriately. The suite of standard intelligent agents is not exhaustive and educators have the ability to add to the standard suite.

The current versions of the standard suite of Intelligent Agents can be found in Connect at:
