This unit typically applies to trainers, facilitators, teachers, and training and assessment consultants working in an e-learning environment.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to facilitate learning delivered via electronic media.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Employability Skills
This unit contains employability skills.
Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | Assessment must address the scope of this unit and reflect all components of the unit. A range of appropriate assessment methods and evidence-gathering techniques must be used to determine competency. A judgement of competency should only be made when the assessor is confident that the required outcomes of the unit have been achieved and that consistent performance has been demonstrated. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the ability to: facilitate one complete e-learning program provide evidence of at least two examples of organising and facilitating at least two e-learning activities covering diverse e-learning environments. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Evidence must be gathered in the workplace wherever possible. Where no workplace is available, a simulated workplace must be provided. |
Method of assessment | |
Guidance information for assessment | For further information about assessment of this and other TAE units, refer to relevant implementation guidance published on the IBSA website (www.ibsa.org.au). |

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Learning strategy provides: | documented framework to guide and structure learning requirements and teaching/delivery and assessment arrangements. |
Learning program provides: | documented guide to support a cohesive and integrated learning process for the learner. |
E-learning delivery plan may include tools to: | manage and sequence e-learning guide implementation of learning program. |
Technical requirements may include: | technology to be used in delivery type of online learning management platform time required to set up and test equipment and technology liaison with information technology (IT) personnel/specialists. |
Protocols for e-learning environment may include: | boundaries of communication and standards of behaviour in public 'spaces' guidelines for trainer/facilitator and e-learner interaction arrangements for technical support expectations and requirements of learners. |
Good practice in e-learning facilitation may include: | providing both educational and technical support to learners offering flexible solutions to suit a range of learner needs providing opportunities for collaboration guiding and supporting inquiry and engagement being flexible to allow for and support a range of appropriate learner skills, learning styles and learner characteristics. |
Review may include: | feedback from learners, colleagues and e-learning designers via survey or discussion identification of issues in monitoring and managing e-learners using the delivery plan identification of effectiveness of the e-learning protocols. |
Reflecting on own performance may include: | asking critical questions about performance, problems, methods used, and success of learners listening to and acting on feedback from learners and others. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
