AusVELS descriptions

For AusVELS, the values and descriptions of many domains and dimensions have changed.

For example, in the table below, an AusVELS dimension description for English is Reading and viewing; this replaces the VELS description Reading.

Example:

VELS

ENG	English	ENGREA	Reading	0.00	6.75
ENG	English	ENGSPL	Speaking and listening	0.00	6.75

Tip: Update old VELS values on the Domains tab for each relevant Subject Assessment Area. See Subject Assessment Maintenance - Area tab - Domains sub-tab.

When applying AusVELS result types to subject assessments, check your organisation's values against the AusVELS values listed in the table below:
