ACU Thrive — Plan my unit

1 Handbook 2 Context 3 Learning journey 4 Blueprint

Start with what ACU already knows

1. Find your unit

Enter an ACU unit code or paste its public Handbook link. The Studio will pull in the approved curriculum information so you do not have to retype it.

The Handbook remains the source of truth. The Studio will not rewrite approved learning outcomes or assessment requirements.

When are the assessments due?

We found the assessments in the Handbook. Add only the usual due week so the learning journey can build towards them.

3. Build the weekly learning journey

The Handbook often gives broad content areas rather than twelve weekly topics. Choose how much help you want.

See how learning builds across the unit, where outcomes are introduced, developed, and mastered, and where students demonstrate them through assessment.

Curriculum map

Shows how each learning outcome develops across the teaching period and where it is formally assessed.

IIntroducedFirst meaningful work toward the LO. DDevelopedBuilt on, practised, or applied further. MMasteredHighest level expected within this unit.

An assessment does not automatically mean mastery. Where an LO is assessed again later at a higher level, an earlier assessment may represent development.

Creating the curriculum map requires the AI curriculum-mapping update.
