Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

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

Evidence of the following is essential:

knowledge of contemporary ICT in an educational environment

documented review of ICT solutions for an educational environment, collaboration, and communication technologies

research on theory and practice in relation to advanced learning practice, especially where these are enabled by new content solutions; and vocational education and training approaches or technologies

creation of working pilot using relevant ICT solutions.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

A range of e-assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge.

Effective e-assessment methods should achieve one of more of the following criteria:

promote active learning, engaging learners actively in the learning process

provide opportunities to construct meaning by assisting learners to build their own cognitive structures, based on previous knowledge, to integrate new skills and knowledge

encourage collaboration by providing environments in which people learn from each other and solve problems together

support intentional learning by linking learning to the learner’s goals

address real problems, engaging learners in solving the complex and ill-structured problems they will encounter in the real world

contextualise learning by situating it in some meaningful real world task, or by using simulated, case-based or problem-based learning

promote conversation by involving learners in dialogue so that they can appreciate multiple perspectives

promote reflection by providing opportunities for learners to reflect on the learning process and how they can apply what they have learnt to new situations.

Assessment must ensure:

competence is consistently demonstrated over time, and over a range and variety of complex situations.

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 on-the-job performance by the candidate

review of applied projects or learning activities

direct observation of contextual application of skills

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of constructing and implementing advanced earning practice.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

TAEDEL802A Use e-learning with social media

TAELED704A Review enterprise e-learning systems and solutions implementation

TAELED802A Investigate the application of ICT knowledge.
