At an educational conference I went to recently, I attended a workshop, during much of which I was hopelessly confused. It turned out that my confusion was caused by educational terms in America have different meanings in Australia.
Here then is a little table showing some of the different terms:
| American | Australian |
| Program | Course |
| Course | Subject |
| Assessment | Evaluation |
| Grading | Assessment |
As you see, there’s plenty of scope for confusion!
