A desktop or laptop is preferred over a tablet or mobile device for the range of activities involved. Stable, high-speed internet access is also essential since all materials are delivered online. Google Chrome is listed as the preferred browser to use.
Software Needs
In addition to a suitable computer, Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint (or compatible alternatives) must be installed for creating assignments (JCU, 2023). The computer should have an integrated or external webcam and microphone/speakers to facilitate participation in online classes and discussions. Subjects may also require downloading specific additional software.
Accessing Subject Content
All subject readings, resources and materials will be available digitally through the LearnJCU online learning platform (JCU, 2023). No physical textbooks are required. Two texts are prescribed as references and purchase details are provided on the Booktopia website.
Technical Support
Should any issues arise in accessing or using the online systems and platforms, technical support is available through the student success advisor team (JCU, 2023). Reliable technology is important for full engagement with this online diabetes education subject.
Conclusion
In summary, the key technology requirements outlined by JCU include a suitable computer, reliable internet access, required software applications, and technical support resources to set students up for success in NS5382.

1.1 Student participation requirements
The JCU Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedures (2.1.2d) indicates a typical student workload for a three
(3) credit point subject requires a 130 hour workload of study related activities, including attendance,
assessment and self-directed study over the duration of the subject with equivalency across all attendance
modes. Note that attendance at specified classes will be a mandatory requirement for satisfactory completion of
some subjects (Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedures, 3.1.8e) and that additional hours may be required
per week for those students in need of English language, numeracy or other learning support.
Key subject activities
• 60 hours – Online accelerated program
10 hours/week for 6 weeks
• Assessment and self-directed study
Refer to your LearnJCU subject site; and
Study Period 85 2023 Academic Calendar
Other requirements:
Students are expected to participate in the LearnJCU padlets and online learning activities. E-activities are the
online equivalent of attendance at tutorials for an on-campus subject. The padlets give you a place to interact
with staff and other students about subject content and topics and help students to clarify and extend their
understanding of key content. These are a forum for students to present their thoughts/ideas in an online
version of an in-person classroom discussion and therefore the same courtesy rules apply.
While attendance in the Subject Room (Collaborate tutorial) sessions is not mandatory, it is highly
recommended. These sessions will provide you with the opportunity to have synchronous (at the same time)
conversations with your Subject Co-ordinator (or your tutor) and with your fellow students from across the
subject, to have your questions answered and to receive further clarification about any concerns or questions
you may have.
Learning and teaching activities may be recorded for this subject. Personal Information in the form of images and
audio may be collected by JCU during the recording. This Personal Information may appear as part of the
recording which is accessible to students and staff in this subject on LearnJCU.

At JCU the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning and assessment must be ethical, transparent, and
purposeful. You may engage in the use of AI only where your engagement upholds the principles of Academic
Integrity. For example, you may use AI such as ChatGPT to ask for research guidance, to brainstorm general ideas,
to ask questions to help you better understand your study materials or to proofread your work. However, be
aware that an AI could also produce incorrect information or produce work that is inherently biased. You cannot
use generative AI tools like ChatGPT to write or plan your assessment or any parts of your assessment. Submitting
assessment that is not entirely your original work is a form of academic misconduct and is strictly prohibited (see
procedure). If you use text directly from ChatGPT or other generative AI tools, you must reference this as a block
quote and include the reference in APA 7th style (see instructions here).

ASSESSMENT ITEM 2: DESCRIPTION
Each person with diabetes has unique needs, priorities, and circumstances that must be considered. Tailoring
diabetes management to meetspecific needs increases clients’sense of ownership and involvement in their care,
ultimately leading to improved outcomes. Targets play a crucial role in diabetes management by providing
individuals with specific goals to aim for in their care. These targets encompass blood glucose levels, HbA1C
results, dietary patterns, and physical activity. They serve as a guide, helping individuals navigate their self-care
efforts and make informed decisions.
For this assessment, choose one of the case studies from week one content, such as Elmo (topic 1), Lei (topic 2),
or Florence (topic 3). You must address the two questions below in a way that considers the individual’s unique
needs and circumstances.
1. Download, concisely complete, and submit the critical thinking questions associated with the chosen case
study.
2. Identify one (1) additional key consideration specific to your chosen case study and justify why this
consideration would be included in your plan of care for the client.
Relevant critical thinking questions and your justification of additional key consideration should be supported
with contemporary literature and demonstrate your advanced understanding of diabetes management. The total
word count for this assessment does not include the critical thinking questions. A reference list must be provided,
using correct APA 7th edition style formatting. For guidance on standards for assessment preparation, including
referencing, please see Assessment Preparation Guidelines.

ASSESSMENT ITEM 3: DESCRIPTION
In this unit, we have explored the role of diabetes educators in providing support and education to teachers who
assume the care for children with diabetes while they are in school. Teachers are a crucial part of many children’s
journey with diabetes, and their role encompasses promoting a safe environment and supporting emotional wellbeing whilst also assuming their academic responsibilities. Collaboration between teachers, parents and
healthcare providers is essential to facilitate positive outcomes for children with diabetes. For this assessment,
you will create a narrated PowerPoint demonstrating your ability to apply education and self-management
principles and appropriate clinical guidelines to the case study below.
Case study: Brent
Brent is a seven-year-old child who was diagnosed with T1DM at age four. He has just started a new school year,
and although he has been wearing a t:slim X2 insulin pump and G6 CGM for the past 12 months, his new teachers
are not confident with the technology. They have concerns regarding him bolusing off his CGM and would like him
to finger prick prior to meals. His timetable includes sports on Friday following recess when he has most of his
carbohydrates. This is Brent’s favourite class of the week; however, he has been experiencing hypos during class.
This has limited his ability to participate, and a change in his behaviour has been noted. As his CDE, the school has
arranged for you to educate his teachers regarding Brent’s management and what is best practice in this
situation.
Create an oral presentation to provide to Brent’s school teachers. The following criteria must be addressed in
your presentation:
• Analyse the case study above and examine two key issues regarding his diabetes that his teachers need to
be aware of.
• Utilising appropriate clinical guidelines and contemporary literature for one of the key issues you have
examined, recommend and rationalise the use of;
-One long term strategy to facilitate positive outcomes for Brent and his teachers.
-One short term strategy to facilitate positive outcomes for Brent and his teachers
Page 14 of 20
Recommendations should be supported by appropriate clinical guidelines and contemporary literature.
Guidelines and literature should be cited using APA 7th conventions. A DOI must be provided for all references in
the reference list. You should cite all images in your presentation as per the JCU Library guides for APA 7th edition.
For guidance on preparing a narrated PowerPoint, consider viewing this helpful Voice over PowerPoint video.
The firstslide must contain your name, student number, subject code NS5382, study period 85, 2023, and
timing/duration of the presentation. The last slide must contain a reference list.
Submission of this assessment
The method to deliver your presentation should be in the form of a YouTube video
Preparing the Video for Viewing and Submission
• The presentation video must be converted to a format that is able to be uploaded to YouTube. It is
recommended that the YouTube clip is ‘unlisted’, meaning it is essentially private and will only be visible
to those with whom the URL is shared (the markers).
• Instructions on how to create an unlisted and unsearchable YouTube video can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrNwVDmKVaY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOr7JluzEOM
Submission guidelines
• A Word document listing the YouTube clip URL and the presentation and reference list.
• The reference list must adhere to APA 7th edition guidelines.
• For technology support please contact the IT help desk on 4781 5500.
Make careful consideration of the marking rubric on the following page as you plan, prepare and edit your
assignment to ensure you have addressed the required criteria.

3 Submission and return of assessment
3.1 Submission of assessment
Students must submit final assessment items (including reference list, and any appendices) by the due date and
time. There is only one final submission for each assessment item. Resubmissions are not allowed, therefore
students should check that the correct file is uploaded, as this file will constitute a submission and will be the only
document marked and graded. No clearing of incorrect submissions will be carried out by staff, so please ensure
the correct file is uploaded.
Students are responsible to ensure the upload is successful and to save a copy of the SafeAssign report for their
own records. The date and time of online submission is recorded by LearnJCU, and this is accepted as being the
equivalent to a date stamp on a hard copy submission. All assessment items will undergo an automatic plagiarism
check by SafeAssign. If system-wide technical problems occur with SafeAssign or LearnJCU on the due date, your
Subject Coordinator will advise you by email and/or via announcement on LearnJCU of any necessary changes to
the normal processes of assessment submission.
3.2 Late submissions
The Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedure (3.1.8d) outlines a uniform formula of penalties imposed for
submission of an assessment item after the due date. This formula is 5% of the total possible marks for the
assessment item per day including part-days, weekends, and public holidays. If submitted after 20 days, the
assessment item thus would be awarded 0 marks (i.e. 5% x 20 = 100% of total possible marks in penalties).
For assessment items weighted 0%, and submitted after 10 days a DNS (Did Not Submit) grade is awarded.
3.3 Special Consideration (including deferrals and extensions)
You are encouraged to access equity measures if you are affected by extenuating circumstances while
undertaking the subject. JCU’s Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedure 3.1 requires that you must make
yourself available for assessments and examinations atthe scheduled times and extensions or deferrals for an
assessmentitem due to previously scheduled commitments such as weddings or holidays, will not be granted.
All Special Consideration requests can be applied for through the Special Consideration application form. The
form is linked to the Special Consideration Procedure and also available on the Student Forms webpage.
Because of the intensive nature of this program, extensions of greater than 48 hours cannot be given.
Possible equity measures for Special Circumstances that occurred during the study period that specifically
impacted performance or completion of on-course assessments or examinations but did not prevent submission
orsitting of the assessments or examinations forsubjects administered by College of Healthcare Sciences include:
• Supplementary examination or assessment;
• Special examination or assessment.
Amendment of final subject grade is not available as an outcome for College of Healthcare Sciences subjects.
See Student Special Circumstances Policy, Special Consideration Procedure and Withdrawal from Subjects without
Financial and Academic Penalty Procedure.
3.4 Academic Integrity
As outlined in the Coursework Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure, you are required to complete the
Coursework Academic Integrity Modules available in your LearnJCU site. Penalties for non-completion may be
applied.
Page 18 of 20
All non-examination items of assessment are required to be submitted with the Assessment Declaration available
through LearnJCU. The Assessment Declaration contains statements relating to academic integrity under the
Coursework Academic Integrity Policy and Procedures. All instances of academic misconduct are treated very
seriously by the University and students may be severely penalised for committing any form of academic
misconduct.
For more information regarding academic integrity, see
https://www.jcu.edu.au/students/learningcentre/academic-integrity
At JCU the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning and assessment must be ethical, transparent, and
purposeful. You may engage in the use of AI only where your engagement upholds the principles of Academic
Integrity. For example, you may use AI such as ChatGPT to ask for research guidance, to brainstorm general ideas,
to ask questions to help you better understand your study materials or to proofread your work. However, be
aware that an AI could also produce incorrect information or produce work that is inherently biased. You cannot
use generative AI tools like ChatGPT to write or plan your assessment or any parts of your assessment. Submitting
assessment that is not entirely your original work is a form of academic misconduct and is strictly prohibited (see
procedure). If you use text directly from ChatGPT or other generative AI tools, you must reference this as a block
quote and include the reference in APA 7th style (see instructions here).
3.5 Return of assessment
The requirements for an assessment’s return date, time and manner will be determined by the Subject
Coordinator in line with the JCU Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedures. Feedback will be given, as per
clause 3.5 of the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedures. You will be informed of your grade for every
component of assessment as per clause 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 of the Learning Teaching and Assessment Procedures. You
can also request written or verbal feedback from the marker (see Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedures
3.5).
3.6 Review of assessment
Assessment items and final grades will be reviewed through moderation processes (Learning, Teaching and
Assessment Procedures, 3.6). It is important to be aware that assessment results “must always undergo final
ratification for each study period. No single grade or mark represents a final result in a subject” (Learning,
Teaching and Assessment Procedures, 3.7.4.).
Audio and/or video recording of assessment (e.g. oral assessment) may be used in this subject as per the Learning
Teaching and Assessment Procedure (3.1.5f) and will be securely stored in line with Learning Teaching and
Assessment Procedure (3.8.1).
Students can seek a review of individual assessment pieces through the process identified in clause 3.8 of the
Learning, Teaching and Assessment Procedures.
Students can seek a review of the final subject result through the process contained in the Review and Appeal of a
Final Subject Result Procedure.

4.2 Learning and teaching activities/expectations
This subject has been developed using a ‘blended learning’ model, therefore there are a variety of technologies
utilised to enhance your learning.
This subject will be delivered in distance education mode utilising the LearnJCU online delivery platform. Students
are required to have internet access to access study modules, complete learning tasks, submit assessments and
access online resources.
A key learning and teaching strategy in this subject is the use of E-tivities, which allow students to be active/
interactive learners by fully engaging with the content and with each other through the use of the various Etivities located within the LearnJCU subject website.
Students are expected to participate in the LearnJCU discussion boards and online learning activities. E-tivities are
the online equivalent of attendance at tutorials for an on-campus subject. The discussion boards give you a place
to interact with staff and otherstudents about subject content and topics, and help students to clarify and extend
their understanding of key content. These are a forum for students to present their thoughts/ideas in an online
version of an in-person classroom discussion and therefore the same courtesy rules apply.
While attendance in the Subject Room (Collaborate tutorial) sessions is not mandatory, it is highly recommended.
These sessions will provide you with the opportunity to have synchronous (at the same time) conversations with
your Subject Coordinator (or your tutor) and with your fellow students from across the subject, to have your
questions answered and to receive further clarification about any concerns or questions you may have.
