Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential

analysis design implementation and evaluation of an elearning solution to meet a business need or the needs of a specified user group

documented review and confirmation of appropriateness of elearning resources and policies and procedures to meet organisational and individual learner needs

knowledge of elearning resources and systems testing and evaluation strategies

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

competenceis consistentlydemonstrated over time and over a range and variety of situations

access to required assessment facilities and resources

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate

review of applied projects or learning activities for example covering elearning system evaluations research on trends in elearning review and confirmation of appropriateness of elearning resources to organisational and individual learner needs policies and procedures for elearning resources and selection of appropriate elearning resources

direct observation of contextual application of skills

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of range of elearning environments and their application in designing elearning resources

Guidance information for assessment
