The Stellenbosch University (SU) Legal Services Division, in association with the Language Centre and Esselaar Attorneys, recently launched an online user guide to the Consumer Protection Act (CPA).

The guide was created especially for the SU environment to increase awareness regarding legislation that applies to the University and its activities.

What is the Consumer Protection Act?

The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 took effect on 1 April 2011 and affects how all companies and institutions conduct business. It protects consumers' rights by regulating marketing activities and the way in which contracts and information documents are drafted. "The CPA has given us the opportunity to re-evaluate how we communicate and interact with our consumers," says Gerhard Lipp, Director: Legal Services.

The University is a service provider or supplier to its consumers, who primarily consist of students, but also include other private and public parties. The online guide was created to help ensure that all interactions with clients and consumers are as consumer-friendly as possible.

Lessons learned from creating the guide

• There are several advantages to working with other SU departments and pooling resources for a project such as this. Legal Services and the Language Centre have formed an excellent partnership, which will hopefully be developed even further in future.

• The guide and concept could serve as a blueprint for other legislation that also  applies to SU.

• The guide is a good example of a plain-language document – not only on an editorial level, but also in terms of how technology is used and how the site invites users to interact with the information.

What does the online guide offer?

Staff will be able to access the guide from the Legal Services website. The guide serves as a guidance tool to help staff decide on marketing strategiesor show them how to draft contracts, documents or forms meant for consumers. It also offers information on SU's consumers and their rights, marketing practices, and the various steps to drafting a contract. However, the online guide is not a substitute for legal advice and Legal Services should still be contacted whenever staff require legal advice or are unsure of something contained in the guide.

Assessment is usually associated with evaluating student learning through the testing of their knowledge rather than with the learning process itself.

However, peer assessment involves students in determining the assessment criteria, the application of these criteria, making judgements and giving feedback to fellow students, all leading to a much better learning experience than only undertaking the assessed task.  It is claimed that being involved in the giving and receiving of feedback is beneficial to students’ learning as it enhances the development of skills required for professional responsibility, judgement and autonomy, and because it emphasizes the responsibility of the students in the learning and assessment processes (Lindblom, Pihlamaki & Kotkas 2006).

Questions that might rightly come to mind are how to design such opportunities and get buy-in from the students.

 

Speaker:

Prof Annika Rudman, a professor in Public law at SU has implemented peer assessment as teaching and assessment technique with her students in International Law 451.  During this Auxin session, Prof Rudman will share her experiences on the design of peer assessment, the practical implementation of the assessment strategy as well as her students’ reflections on peer assessment.

 

When:

Tuesday, 26 August 2014 from 12:45 to 13:45 (“padkos” will be provided)

Den Bosch, 41 Victoria Street (directly behind the Conservatoire)
