They also draw attention to other interrelated standards and highlight potential risks to compliance. They do not introduce prescriptive obligations.  \nThe definitive instruments that set out providers’obligations in delivering higher education remain the Threshold Standards (as amended on advice from the Higher Education Standards Panel to the Minister for Education from time to time) and the TEQSA Act.  \nIn August 2023, TEQSA consulted stakeholders with a draft version of the Academic  \nMonitoring, Review and Improvement guidance note, and considered all feedback. This guidance note was finalised on 19 March 2024.  \nThe purpose and intent of this guidance note is to encompass key elements of institutional quality assurance.  \nFor the full list of guidance notes and resources, please see the TEQSA website.  \n!  \n1. What does monitoring, review and improvement encompass?  \nIn the context of the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021  monitoring, review and improvement are key elements of institutional quality assurance.  \nThe Threshold Standards provide that all higher education providers (providers) carryout ongoing monitoring and review to improve their operations, and that providers comprehensively review all their registered courses of study (courses) at least every 7 years. For each course of study, a comprehensive review should encompass:  \n• design and content  \n• expected learning outcomes – their methods of assessment and student achievement  \n• emerging developments in the relevant field of education  \n• mode of delivery  \n• changing needs of students  \n• identified risks to quality  \n• trend analyses over a range of factors (e.g. completion rates) for different student cohorts and subgroups.  \nAlongside student feedback, such continuous monitoring and reviews should also inform ongoing improvement activities. As the Explanatory Statement of the Threshold Standards notes, the purpose of monitoring and review is “to maintain and enhance [the] quality and effectiveness” of the provider’s educational offerings.1  \nTo ensure a provider’s improvement cycle both maintains and enhances its offerings, the Threshold Standards place 2 quality assurance conditions upon comprehensive reviews.  \nThe first condition is that comprehensive reviews involve benchmarking activities such as external referencing. Although the Threshold Standards do not define ‘external referencing’, TEQSA understands this term to describe activities wherein a provider assesses an aspect of their operations against an external comparator. Examples of external referencing include, but are not limited to:  \n• peer review  \n• moderation of courses  \n• course accreditation by professional bodies  \n• engagement with and feedback from industry groups  \n• comparisons with identified good practices in the sector  \n• comparisons grounded in publicly available information or market intelligence  \n• comparisons developed through collaboration with other providers, peak bodies, employers, or industry.  \nThe second condition placed upon comprehensive reviews is that they are overseen by peak academic governance processes. Such oversight aims to ensure a provider’s  \n1.
