CQUniversity Unit Profile.

The Online Quiz will assess your understanding of all ECG content from weeks one (1) to week five (5) and the CRM content from weeks one (1) and two (2).

This assessment task will require you to complete one (1) Online Quiz.

The Online Quiz will be marked out of 100 marks. You will have 1hr 40 minutes (100 minutes) to complete the quiz.

Questions posed will assess your ability to:

• interpret the outcome of 12-Lead electrocardiogram (ECG) studies.
• explain the concepts underpinning cardiac rhythm management (CRM) and device applications, including consideration of best practice and patient safety.

Details of the Online Quiz include:

• Once started, the quiz cannot be paused or restarted.
• Only one attempt is permitted.
• The Online Quiz will automatically close and submit completed answers once the allocated time has elapsed.
• The time available to complete this assessment is purposely kept tight to promote fact recall, rather than testing the ability of students to look up answers in available resources at hand.

As the Online Quiz is an open book, you will find it useful if you have produced your own notes from content within the unit (lectures, readings, tutorials, etc) and you may benefit from having normal electrocardiographic reference ranges and a calculator available to ensure that you are prepared for this assessment.

Questions will be randomly drawn from a resource bank, which will provide each student with a unique experience for each quiz.

Students are reminded that IT support from the University Information and Technology Division (TASAC) is only available during AEST business hours. It is recommended that the Online Quiz is completed during business hours. Students are advised to refer to the 'Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework)' document for additional university guidelines regarding assessments.

This assessment is to be undertaken as an individual. As with all other university examinations, colluding with other students on non-group work tasks is considered academic misconduct, and may lead to action being taken by the Deputy Dean of Learning and Teaching HMAS.

Please note that the Online Quiz must be completed before the due date listed. In the absence of an approved extension, there will be no opportunity to complete the task after this date, and there will be no opportunity to apply a late penalty of five (5) percent per day. Students will receive a mark of zero (or fail) for this assessment if you have not completed it by the scheduled date and time and do not have an approved extension.

Students will be required to answer a variety of questions presented in an online format. Answers will be assessed according to the following criteria:

• Ability to appropriately interpret presented data and images.
• Ability to respond clearly and concisely.
• Use of appropriate terminology and descriptors.

Online Quiz mark allocation:

• The number of marks allocated for each question will be indicated within the quiz.
• Question marks are allocated based on the accuracy, depth, and breadth of required responses.

Please ensuring that the quiz is commenced with sufficient time before the quiz closes (i.e. commence the test before 6:20 pm AEST on designated Wednesday - if the test is not completed by 08:00 pm AEST your test may be automatically submitted incomplete or with no answers).

We live in a society where people look to the internet as the first point of interest when it comes to topics such as healthcare. The internet is a part of our everyday lives, and it is often regarded as an informative portal for furthering our knowledge.

In this assessment, you are asked to design a website using Wix.com online platform. The aim of your website is to educate your fellow colleagues about the diagnosis and management of a specific cardiovascular condition using cardiac rhythm and echocardiographic assessment modalities.

You will organise yourself into a group of your peers, ideally groups will contain 4/5 students (dependent on student enrolment). As this is an online assessment, groups can contain students from the same campus or cross campus / interstate.

Each team member will individually research the topic. You will then collaborate as a team to create a website for educational purposes.

The topic is:

Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) in heart failure.

The weighting for this assessment is distributed across three (3) assessment components:

3a. Individual component (15% of the assessment weighting)

You will be required to research the provided topic area and write a 500 (+/- 10%) word essay.

The essay should include:

• A definition of the disease
• A description of a CRT device and the implications this type of treatment has on heart failure
• Echocardiography findings of the disease
• Reference list

This essay can then be used to aid in the development of your group presentation. A minimum of 5 references should be included. References does not form part of individual word counts. Students will receive an individual mark for this task component.

3b. Website development (10% of the assessment weighting)

The website should contain five (5) tabs only.

The tabs will have the following titles:

· Overview of the website

· Disease information

· The role of CRT in heart failure

· Echocardiography findings

· References

Group members will work together, sharing development tasks between themselves to craft the website. All team members will receive the same mark for this task component.

3c. Self and Peer Assessment (SPA) tool (5% of the assessment weighting)

To assess each member's contribution to the group work, you will need to complete a Self and Peer Assessment (SPA) activity.

The following assessment criteria cues should be considered by students when completing each task component.

• Have you prioritised relevant information for inclusion?
• Is the information included accurate and evidence-based with relevant references?
• Does the information provided indicate that you understand the topic?
• Have you used images that are relevant?
• Is your spelling and grammar exemplary?
• Have you adhered to the correct referencing style?

Below is a breakdown of what is required within the website. A detailed marking rubric can be found on the unit Moodle website.

Tab descriptors:

Tab 1: Overview of the website 150 (+/- 10%)

In this page you are required to introduce all group members, stating the name of your unit, course, and the campus / university you’re enrolled at.

Include the following:

· Describe what the website is designed for.

· Provide a guide for the reader on how to navigate the website.

· Clearly define the target audience.

· Describe the aims / objectives of the information provided on the website.

· Explain the significance of the cardiovascular condition as an important health issue.

Tab 2: Disease information 250 (+/- 10%)

This page should contain the main overview about the disease and should reflect evidence of a wide range of readings including the most up to date and accurate information about the disease using multiple credible resources.

Include the following:

· Clearly define the background to the condition including facts / figures / statistics and identify the high-risk group.

· Clearly explain the signs and symptoms of the condition.

Included the following:

· Discuss the background of CRT pacing.

· Clearly describe the different pacing techniques involved with achieving optimal CRT therapy.

· Identify current guidelines and recommended patient selection for CRT implantation.

All students will be required to individually complete a SPA tool. Students will be emailed a SPA Tool access link via email. SPA submission details are confidential and are not made available to other members of the group.

The Online Test will assess your understanding of concepts underpinning Cardiac Rhythm Management and Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy, including consideration of best practice, patient safety, treatment benefits and assessment strategies.

• Once started, the Online Test cannot be paused or restarted.
• Only one attempt is permitted.
• The Online Test will automatically close and submit completed answers once the allocated time has elapsed.
