Tertiary Literacy Assessments (TLA)
What is the TLA?
The TLA is a self-assessment tool consisting of a series of online quizzes. All newly enrolled undergraduate students are automatically entered into the TLA. It is strongly recommended that all newly enrolled undergraduate students complete the TLA. Completing the TLA is a requirement for some units of study.
The TLA will enable you to determine your personal strengths and weaknesses in the areas of academic writing; information literacy; computer literacy; and mathematics.
Knowing your own strengths and having them confirmed is empowering because it increases confidence. Understanding your weaker areas allows you to focus on specific tasks designed to build your skills in those areas and hence your self-esteem and confidence as a learner. The feedback you receive from the TLA will direct you to specific areas of the Academic Skills Office (ASO) website and other resources aimed at helping you improve your ability to succeed at tertiary study.
