Topic

Master the art of designing adaptable and authentic workplace practical assessments for your VET program.

Observation of workplace performance is probably the most authentic way to assess a learner’s competence, but it can be tricky to design them in a way that ensures assessment is flexible and contextualized to the workplace and job role.

In this brand-new insightful webinar that is part of our Focus Week, explore innovative strategies for creating observation assessment instruments that accommodate diverse contexts and environments.

You will look at how to develop work-based practical observation assessment instruments and consider how design can truly support assessor contextualisation while maintaining reliability so that assessment decisions remain consistent regardless of the assessor or the workplace context.

Delve into the resources required, workplace tasks to be assessed, and the development of clear instructions for both learners and assessors. In this recording, you will also review workplace practical observation assessments that will help you visualise the concepts discussed.
