Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Evaluate trends in e-learning
   • Identify and differentiate forms of elearning
   • Analyse trends in the deployment of information and communications technology (ICT) in education and learning
   • Analyse and evaluate integration of ICT for learning and business purposes
   • Explore how the convergence of different technologies can affect learning practice
2. Monitor e-learning resource alignment to organisational requirements
   • Research trends in teaching methods associated with different types of electronic learning resources
   • Determine the organisation’s strategic and learning requirements
   • Analyse and report risks associated with elearning implementation
   • Devise policy and procedures to ensure brief, focus and type of elearning resources are designed appropriate to organisational requirements
   • Establish how international elearning regimes, human resources and learning policies and procedures, will affect the design of elearning resources
3. Test and evaluate e-learning solutions
   • Set the parameters for testing elearning solutions, consistent with technical, user and organisational requirements
   • Review elearning resources and elearning systems or solutions, against criteria tied to learner and organisational requirements
   • Adjust learning resource design or delivery methods, where required to meet changing user and organisational requirements
   • Test and evaluate instructional design principles as appropriate for the given focus and context
   • Consult with learners, educators, designers and other personnel to evaluate constraints relating to organisation’s elearning systems and resources
   • Use research findings and reports on suggested improvements to elearning resources, or systems design, to inform future practice
