Assessment Types

Explore Curtin’s refreshed assessment categories

Assessment 2030 has refreshed Curtin’s assessment categories and subcategories, introducing a clear framework that classifies assessments as either Lane 1 (Secure) or Lane 2 (Non-Secure). This structured approach supports assessment transparency, pedagogical alignment, and diverse assessment design across courses.

Assessment Types

To help you recategorise your assessments under the new Akari structure, we’ve put together a quick reference guide covering the four-step process, security classifications, and worked examples.

The guide walks you through each of the four fields – Security Classification, Assessment Category, Specific Assessment Type, and Assessment Description – so you can confirm the right categorisation before updating your unit in Akari.

Quick Reference Guide

To support the transition to the new AKARI assessment structure, we’ve created an Excel template to help course teams plan and map their assessments before updating them in the system.

The template is designed to guide you through the new assessment field structure and can be used when working with your Planning Coordinator to update units.
