2.1 Overview of the Subject
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study of the design,
implementation and evaluation of computer-
based applications, focusing particularly on the interfaces
between people (users) and computers. In this
subject, students learn about the novel ways in which humans
interact with computers and design interfaces.
This includes the designing of easy-to-use Web-based
applications and development phases, both physical
and psychological, usability testing, accessibility and analytics.
Students will learn to use web-authoring tools
to turn design of computer-based applications into working
examples. These tools include HTML5 and CSS3.

2.6 Review of Grade, Deferred Exams & Supplementary
Exams/Assessments
Review of Grade:
There may be instances when you believe that your final grade
in a subject does not accurately reflect your
performance against the subject criteria. Section 8 of the
Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy

(www.koi.edu.au) describes the grounds on which you may
apply for a Review of Grade.
If this happens and you are unable to resolve it with the
Academic staff concerned then you can apply for a
formal Review of Grade within the timeframes indicated in the
following sections of this subject outline -
Supplementary Assessments, 3.6 Appeals Process as well as the
Assessment and Assessment Appeals
Policy. Please ensure you read the Review of Grade information
before submitting an application.
Review of Grade Day:
KOI will hold the Review of Grade Day for all subjects studied
in T120 on
Friday 03 July 2020
Only final exams will be discussed as all other assessments
should have been reviewed during the trimester.
If you fail one or more subjects and you wish to consider
applying for a Review of Grade you MUST attend
the Review of Grade Day. You will have the chance to discuss
your final exam with your lecturer, and will be
advised if you have valid reasons for applying for a Review of
Grade (see Section 3.6 below and Assessment
and Assessment Appeals Policy).
If you do not attend the Review of Grade Day you are
considered to have accepted your results for T120.

Deferred Exams:
If you wish to apply for a deferred exam, you should submit an
Application for Assignment Extension or
Deferred Exam Form before the prescribed deadline.
If you miss your mid-trimester or final exam there is no
guarantee you will be offered a deferred exam.
You must apply within the stated timeframe and satisfy the
conditions for approval to be offered a deferred
exam (see Section 8.1 of the Assessment and Assessment
Appeals Policy and the Application for
Assignment Extension or Deferred Exam Forms). In assessing
your request for a deferred exam, KOI will
take into account the information you provide, the severity of
the event or circumstance, your performance
on other items of assessment in the subject, class attendance and
your history of previous applications for
special consideration.
Deferred mid-trimester exams will be held before the end of
week 9. Deferred final exams will be held on
two days during week 1 or 2 in the next trimester. You will not
normally be granted a deferred exam on the
grounds that you mistook the time, date or place of an
examination, or that you have made arrangements
to be elsewhere at that time; for example, have booked plane
tickets.

27/02/2020 14:46 PAGE 6 OF 17
03171A
If you are offered a deferred exam, but do not attend you will be
awarded 0 marks for the exam. This may
mean it becomes difficult for you to pass the subject. If you
apply for a deferred exam within the required
time frame and satisfy the conditions you will be advised by
email (to your KOI student email address) of
the time and date for the deferred exam. Please ensure that you
are available to take the exam at this time.
Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded
for that item of assessment towards your
final mark in the subject.
Supplementary Assessments (Exams and Assessments):
A supplementary assessment may be offered to students to
provide a final opportunity to demonstrate
successful achievement of the learning outcomes of a subject.
Supplementary assessments are only
offered at the discretion of the Board of Examiners. In
considering whether or not to offer a supplementary
assessment, KOI will take into account your performance on all
the major assessment items in the subject,
your attendance, participation and your history of any previous
special considerations.

Students are eligible for a supplementary assessment for their
final subject in a course where they fail the
subject but have successfully completed all other subjects in the
course. You must have completed all major
assessment tasks for the subject and obtained a passing mark on
at least one of the major assessment tasks
to be eligible for a supplementary assessment.
If you believe you meet the criteria for a supplementary
assessment for the final subject in your course, but
have not received an offer, complete the “Complaint, Grievance,
Appeal Form” and send your form to
[email protected] The deadline for applying for supplementary
assessment is the Friday of the first
week of classes in the next trimester.
If you are offered a supplementary assessment, you will be
advised by email to your KOI student email
address of the time and due date for the supplementary
assessment – supplementary exams will normally
be held at the same time as deferred final exams during week 1
or week 2 of the next trimester.
You must pass the supplementary assessment to pass the
subject. The maximum grade you can achieve in
a subject based on a supplementary assessment is a PASS grade.
If you:
o are offered a supplementary assessment, but fail it;
o are offered a supplementary exam, but do not attend; or
o are offered a supplementary assessment but do not submit by
the due date;
you will receive a FAIL grade for the subject.
2.7 Teaching Methods/Strategies

Briefly described below are the teaching methods/strategies
used in this subject:
o On-campus lectures (2 hours/week) are conducted in seminar
style and address the subject content,
provide motivation and context and draw on the students’
experience and preparatory reading.
o Tutorials (2 hours/week) include class discussion of case
studies and research papers, practice sets
and problem-solving and syndicate work on group projects.
Tutorial participation is an essential
component of the subject and contributes to the development of
graduate attributes (see section 2.2
above). It is intended that specific tutorial material such as case
studies, recommended readings,
review questions etc. will be made available each week in
Moodle.
o Online teaching resources include class materials, readings,
model answers to assignments and
exercises and discussion boards. All online materials for this
subject as provided by KOI will be found
in the Moodle page for this subject. Students should access
Moodle regularly as material may be
updated at any time during the trimester
o Other contact - academic staff may also contact students
either via Moodle messaging, or via email to
the email address provided to KOI on enrolment.

Assessment is designed to encourage effective student learning
and enable students to develop and
demonstrate the skills and knowledge identified in the subject
learning outcomes. Assessment tasks
during the first half of the study period are usually intended to
maximise the developmental function of
assessment (formative assessment). These assessment tasks
include weekly tutorial exercises (as
indicated in the weekly planner) and low stakes graded
assessment (as shown in the graded
assessment table). The major assessment tasks where students
demonstrate their knowledge and
skills (summative assessment) generally occur later in the study
period. These are the major graded
assessment items shown in the graded assessment table.
Final grades are awarded by the Board of Examiners in
accordance with KOI's Assessment and
Assessment Appeals Policy. The definitions and guidelines for
the awarding of final grades within the BIT
degree are:
• HD High distinction (85-100%) an outstanding level of
achievement in relation to the assessment
process.
• DI Distinction (75-84%) a high level of achievement in
relation to the assessment process.
• CR Credit (65-74%) a better than satisfactory level of
achievement in relation to the assessment
process.

• P Pass (50-64%) a satisfactory level of achievement in relation
to the assessment process.
• F Fail (0-49%) an unsatisfactory level of achievement in
relation to the assessment process.

3.2 Late Penalties and Extensions
An important part of business life and key to achieving KOI’s
graduate outcome of Professional Skills is the
ability to manage workloads and meet deadlines. Consequently,
any assessment items such as in-class
quizzes and assignments missed or submitted after the due
date/time will attract a penalty (see below).
Students who miss mid-trimester tests and final exams without a
valid and accepted reason (see below)
may not be granted a deferred exam and will be awarded 0
marks for assessment item. These penalties
are designed to encourage students to develop good time
management practices, and create equity for all
students.
Any penalties applied will only be up to the maximum marks
available for the specific piece of assessment
attracting the penalty.
Late penalties, granting of extensions and deferred exams are

based on the following:
In Class Tests (excluding Mid-Trimester Tests)
o No extensions permitted or granted – a make-up test may only
be permitted under very special
circumstances where acceptable supporting evidence is
provided. The procedures and timing to apply
for a make-up test (only if available) are as shown in Section
3.3 Applying for an Extension (below).
o Missing a class test will result in 0 marks for that assessment
element unless the above applies.
Written Assessments
o 5% of the total available marks per calendar day unless an
extension is approved (see Section 3.3
below)
Presentations
o No extensions permitted or granted – no presentation = 0
marks. The rules for make-up presentations
are the same as for missing in-class tests (described above).
Mid-Trimester Tests and Final Exams
o If students are unable to attend mid-trimester tests or final
exams due to illness or some other event
(acceptable to KOI), they must:
− Advise KOI in writing (email: [email protected]) as soon as

possible, but no later than three
(3) working days after the exam date, that they will be / were
absent and the reasons. They will be
advised in writing (return email) as to whether the
circumstances are acceptable.
− Complete the appropriate Application for Extension or
Deferred Exam Form available from the
Student Information Centre in Moodle, on the KOI Website
(Policies and Forms) and the Reception
Desk (Market St and Kent St), as soon as possible and email
with attachments to
[email protected]
− Provide acceptable documentary evidence in the form of a
satisfactorily detailed medical
certificate, police report or some other evidence that will be
accepted by KOI.
− Agree to attend the deferred exam as set by KOI.
Deferred exam
o There will only be one deferred exam offered.
o Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks
awarded for that assessment.
o If you miss the deferred exam you will be awarded 0 marks
for the assessment. This may mean you
are unable to complete (pass) the subject.

3.3 Applying for an Extension
If students are unable to submit or attend an assessment when
due, and extensions are possible, they
must apply by completing the appropriate Application for
Extension form available from the Student
Information Centre in Moodle, the KOI Website (Policies and
Forms) and the Reception Desk (Market St
and Kent St), as soon as possible but no later than three (3)
working days of the assessment due date.
The completed form must be emailed with supporting
documentation to [email protected]
Students and lecturers / tutors will be advised of the outcome of
the extension request as soon as
practicable.
Appropriate documentary evidence to support the request for an
extension must be supplied. Please
remember there is no guarantee of an extension being granted,
and poor organisation is not a satisfactory
reason to be granted an extension.

3.4 Referencing and Plagiarism
Please remember that all sources used in assessment tasks must
be suitably referenced.
Failure to acknowledge sources is plagiarism, and as such is a
very serious academic issue. Students
plagiarising run the risk of severe penalties ranging from a
reduction through to 0 marks for a first offence
for a single assessment task, to exclusion from KOI in the most
serious repeat cases. Exclusion has
serious visa implications. The easiest way to avoid plagiarising
is to reference all sources.
Harvard referencing is the required method – in-text referencing
using Author’s Surname (family name)
and year of publication. A Referencing Guide, “Harvard
Referencing”, and a Referencing Tutorial can be
found on the right hand menu strip in Moodle on all subject
pages.
An effective way to reference correctly is to use Microsoft
Word’s referencing function (please note that
other versions and programs are likely to be different). To use
the referencing function, click on the
References Tab in the menu ribbon – students should choose
Harvard.
Authorship is also an issue under plagiarism – KOI expects
students to submit their own original work in
both assessment and exams, or the original work of their group
in the case of a group project. All students
agree to a statement of authorship when submitting assessments
online via Moodle, stating that the work
submitted is their own original work.
The following are examples of academic misconduct and can

attract severe penalties:
o Handing in work created by someone else (without
acknowledgement), whether copied from another
student, written by someone else, or from any published or
electronic source, is fraud, and falls under
the general Plagiarism guidelines.
o Copying / cheating in tests and exams is academic
misconduct. Such incidents will be treated just as
seriously as other forms of plagiarism.
o Students who willingly allow another student to copy their
work in any assessment may be considered
to assisting in copying/cheating, and similar penalties may be
applied.
Where a subject coordinator considers that a student might have
engaged in academic misconduct, KOI
may require the student to undertake an additional oral exam as
a part of the assessment for the subject,
as a way of testing the student’s understanding of their work.
Further information can be found on the KOI website.
3.5 Reasonable Adjustment
The Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1992) makes
it unlawful to treat people with a disability
less fairly than people without a disability. In the context of
this subject, the principle of Reasonable
Adjustment is applied to ensure that participants with a
disability have equitable access to all aspects of the
learning situation. For assessment, this means that artificial

barriers to their demonstrating competence
are removed.
ICT203
27/02/2020 14:46 PAGE 17 OF 17
03171A
Examples of reasonable adjustment in assessment may include:
o provision of an oral assessment, rather than a written
assessment
o provision of extra time
o use of adaptive technology.
The focus of the adjusted assessment should be on enabling the
participants to demonstrate that they
have achieved the subject purpose, rather than on the method
used.
3.6 Appeals Process
Full details of the KOI Assessment and Assessment Appeals
Policy may be obtained in hard copy from the
Library, and on the KOI website www.koi.edu.au under Policies
and Forms.

Assessments and Mid-Trimester Exams:
Where students are not satisfied with the results of an
assessment, including mid-trimester exams, they
have the right to appeal. The process is as follows:
o Discuss the assessment with their tutor or lecturer – students
should identify where they feel more
marks should have been awarded – students should provide
valid reasons based on the marking guide
provided for the assessment. Reasons such as “I worked really
hard” are not considered valid.
o If still not satisfied, students should complete an Application
for Review of Assessment Marks form,
detailing the reason for review. This form can be found on the
KOI website and is also available at KOI
Reception (Market St and Kent St).
o Application for Review of Assessment Marks forms must be
submitted as explained on the form within
ten (10) working days of the return of the marked assessment,
or within five (5) working days after the
return of the assessment if the assessment is returned after the
end of the trimester.
Review of Grade – whole of subject and final exams:
Where students are not satisfied with the results of the whole
subject or with their final exam results, they
have the right to request a Review of Grade – see the
Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy for
more information.

An Application for Review of Grade/Assessment Form
(available from the KOI Website under Policies and
Forms and from KOI Reception, Market St and Kent St) should
be completed clearly explaining the
grounds for the application. The completed application should
be submitted as explained on the form, with
supporting evidence attached, to the Academic Manager.
