Unit Learning Outcomes Assessed
Assessment Context (Scenario)
Edith Cowan University (ECU) is transitioning to the City Campus and exploring new
approaches to delivering teaching and learning at scale.
Senior management is considering the strategic use of Agentic AI teaching assistants
to:
Support student learning and engagement
Reduce academic teaching workload
Enable staff to focus more on research, industry engagement, and innovation
Agentic AI refers to AI systems capable of acting autonomously within defined
boundaries to support tasks such as answering questions, guiding learners, and
escalating issues when required.
However, there is resistance from academic staff, including concerns about:
Student satisfaction
Teaching quality
Loss of human interaction
Ethical and reputational risks
You are part of the ECU Strategy and Digital Transformation Team.
Assessment Task
As a Strategy and Digital Transformation Team, your group will analyse this ECU
scenario and present a strategic recommendation to senior management.
Your analysis must be grounded in concepts learned in Weeks 16 of this unit,
including:
Strategic alignment
Procurement practices (high level)
IT benefits realisation
IT value creation and decision support
ICT infrastructure and network design
Cloud computing
Do not explain theory. Apply it directly to the ECU context.
Key Requirement
This is:
Not a technology demonstration
Not a pro- or anti-AI debate
Instead, this is a strategic, value-focused decision analysis, evaluating whether and how
AI teaching assistants should be adopted at ECU.
Required Presentation Structure
1. Strategic Context
Overview of ECUs strategic environment
City Campus transition
Key pressures facing higher education (scalability, cost, competition, student

2. Procurement analysis (Week 2)
6. References (you do not have to present, show at the end)
