Assurance of learning sits at the intersection of quality, equity and public trust in Australian higher education. As artificial intelligence reshapes assessment practices, academic judgement and student engagement, the central challenge facing universities and regulators is no longer simply preventing misconduct but credibly evidencing learning across diverse delivery contexts and student cohorts.

Our positioning paper sets out OES’s perspective on how assurance of learning must evolve in response. Drawing on over a decade of experience partnering with Australian and international universities to design and deliver largescale, credentialled online and digitally enabled programs, OES argues that credible assurance in an AI-enabled environment depends on connected, program-level approaches rather than detection-led and modality-based controls.
