TAEASS801
Analyse, implement and evaluate e-assessment

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse a range of technology-enabled assessment (e-assessment) options that are available for the design, delivery and administration of required assessment activities in an educational work group. It develops the advanced theoretical and technical knowledge required to evaluate e-assessment processes that they are fair, flexible, valid and reliable.

The unit provides guidelines for generating e-assessment strategies for diagnostic, formative and summative assessments.

It applies to teachers, trainers, educators and facilitators who analyse, implement, manage and evaluate the application of e-assessment processes that are fair, flexible, valid and reliable.

The unit is relevant to a range of assessment activities in small, medium or large organisations, and for individuals, groups and organisations.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit, including:

analysing, implementing and evaluating at least one e-assessment for a specific candidate or group, which must include:

planning for the e-assessment, with consideration for the candidate’s needs and existing resources

designing and developing e-assessment processes, and tasks, for the candidate or group

evaluating the e-assessment tasks and processes.

The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge to effectively complete the task outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

contemporary policy and approaches to e-learning and e-assessment

how the rules of evidence, and principles of assessment, apply to an e-assessment

content of relevant online learning resources and learning materials

design and management of e-assessment resources

e-assessment options that enhance learning, and when to use them

effective learning and assessment principles

appropriate teaching, learning and assessment strategies, and an understanding of e-assessment methods

learning styles suitable for e-assessment

situations and contexts where e-assessment can be used

sources and availability of relevant e-assessment resources and materials

quality assurance processes to ensure integrity of e-assessment.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Conditions must be typical of those experienced in the training and assessment environment, and include access to an e-learning environment.

Assessors must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
