contexts in line with the NQF level descriptors and other taxonomies of learning.

• Focus on programmatic and graduate attributes and critical cross-field outcomes in assessment

of learning.

• Make academic judgements related to diagnostics, placements competence, progression

and/or qualification completion; and as a feedback mechanism to improve curricula, known as

assessment of learning; and to
