The AIF   

AIF is an opportunity to undertake a project where you have greater ownership and agency over your learning journey.

Learning assessment

The portfolio (35%)

Progress checks (35%)

Appraisal - External assessment (30%)

You are to investigate/ explore and then select relevant strategies to create and/or plan an area of

personal interest.

You will show progress of your learning journey on the way to your learning output.

A project in three parts.

  1. Set a learning goal

  2. Document logical and meaningful progression to your final learning output.

  3. Create an Output of Learning

Side note: The Output of Learning

The output of learning is not assessed directly for AIF, but will be appraised by you in your externally assessed A3. The purpose of this task therefore is to record evidence of your Output of learning, this will need to be 'evidenced' and/or attached to your Appraisal when it is submitted to SACE next term.

Your Output of Learning demonstrates progress towards, achievement or partial achievement of your Learning Goal. Your output should be meaningful to you, others, or the broader community and can take a variety of forms, such as:

  • A recorded discussion of key findings

  • Annotated photos showing a process or skill

  • A completed or nearly completed creative product

  • A storyboard and draft footage for a media project

  • ​A research article written for publication

  • Any other suitable 'showcase' or evidence of your learning for AIF this Semester
