Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Evaluate the pedagogical effects of e-learning
   • Analyse recent research into the results of a range of e-learning programs
   • Evaluate existing learning practices without technology, and compare their effectiveness to e-learning
   • Use well-developed judgement to identify the most effective current e-learning options
   • Use independent judgement to develop learning criteria to apply to these approaches
   • Evaluate the effectiveness of these approaches, based on these criteria
2. Generate e-learning options to cater for diversity
   • Assess and evaluate e-learning options to cater for the unique learning needs of each learner
   • Design an e-learning program that enables learners to effectively use technologies that suit their learning needs
   • Evaluate the effectiveness of a range of readily available technology devices
   • Evaluate the effectiveness of a range of readily available e-learning software options
3. Initiate self-directed learning using technology
   • Plan learning programs that address different learning styles, and increasingly enable learners to direct their own learning through the use of technology
   • Implement learning that uses technology to take advantage of global access to like-minded learners
   • Design learning that will enable learners to be co-creators of their own learning
   • Use technologies, and software, that enable learners to get instant, and accurate, feedback on their learning
4. Use technology to personalise learning
   • Implement a program to allow learners to use a range of web services to create their own online learning environment
   • Use online analytical tools and data to understand, and evaluate learning in an organisation
   • Design constructive procedures for learners to access, interpret and effectively use their own analytical learning data

Performance Evidence
