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

facilitating one complete e-learning program, providing detail about:

how learner needs were identified

the e-learning delivery plan

protocols for the learning environment

support mechanisms available to learners

at least two examples of organising and facilitating a minimum of two e-learning activities covering diverse e-learning environments

how the program was monitored and reviewed.

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:

adult learning principles

how to distinguish between a technical problem and a content problem, and to respond accordingly

the use of relevant technologies and tools, including those that allow the trainer/facilitator to monitor every entry and electronic movement of the learner

relevant learning management systems

the structure and content of relevant e-learning resources

the ethics and codes of conduct related to e-learning

cultural awareness, particularly in regard to ensuring electronic discussions are culturally sensitive

workplace health and safety (WHS) relating to the work role, and the WHS considerations to include in the design of e-learning resources.

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 the e-learning system in use in the organisation.

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