Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to evaluate how current pedagogical practices can be transformed to capitalise on increasing options for learning, based on the immediacy, mobility and portability of technology. It develops the advanced theoretical and technical knowledge required to respond to the implications associated with learning now occurring any time, any place, on a range of digital devices, from a variety of digital sources, and with anyone from around the globe.
It applies to teachers, trainers, educators and facilitators wanting to develop advanced pedagogical skills and knowledge, based on the increasing range of learning options now available with technology.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

What You'll Learn

1.

  • 1.1 Analyse recent research into the results of a range of e-learning programs
  • 1.3 Use well-developed judgement to identify the most effective current e-learning options
  • 1.4 Use independent judgement to develop learning criteria to apply to these approaches
  • 1.5 Evaluate the effectiveness of these approaches, based on these criteria

2.

  • 2.1 Assess and evaluate e-learning options to cater for the unique learning needs of each learner
  • 2.3 Evaluate the effectiveness of a range of readily available technology devices
  • 2.4 Evaluate the effectiveness of a range of readily available e-learning software options

3.

  • 3.1 Plan learning programs that address different learning styles, and increasingly enable learners to direct their own learning through the use of technology
  • 3.3 Design learning that will enable learners to be co-creators of their own learning
  • 3.4 Use technologies, and software, that enable learners to get instant, and accurate, feedback on their learning

4.

  • 4.1 Implement a program to allow learners to use a range of web services to create their own online learning environment
  • 4.3 Design constructive procedures for learners to access, interpret and effectively use their own analytical learning data

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit, including:
• designing at least one pedagogically sound, contextually relevant e-learning program to improve learning practice
• demonstrating how recent research into advanced e-learning practice has been incorporated into the design.

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge to effectively complete the task outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes a knowledge of:
• contemporary policy, and approaches, to learning and assessment
• content and requirements of the relevant delivery and assessment strategies
• the content of learning resources and learning materials
• the design and management of e-learning resources
• different learning styles and how to encourage learners
• pedagogical theory and practice, learner interests and changing learning styles, and application of information and communications technology (ICT) to learning and teaching
• the range of individual learner needs and learning contexts
• learning principles relevant to e-learning
• appropriate learning strategies, and teaching, and assessment methods
• the sources and availability of relevant learning resources, and learning materials
• the training techniques that enhance learning, and when to use them.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Conditions must be typical of those experienced in the training and assessment environment, and include access to an e-learning system.
Assessors must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
