In October 2009, the National Quality Council through the NQC Quality of Assessment Action Group appointed a consortium, comprising Victoria University of Technology, Bateman and Giles Pty Ltd and Learning Australia Pty Ltd, to design and implement a communication and dissemination strategy related to the reports of the 'Quality of assessment practices' and 'National approach to moderation to improve consistency of assessment' projects. This, the second of 2 projects, centred on improving national consistency in assessment outcomes through the development of a national approach to moderation in the VET sector, which would include the involvement of the industry.
