Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies and procedures which are described and referenced in a single document the Assessment policies and procedures manual


 


Assessment Tasks

To demonstrate competency in this course, you need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard.

You will research, design and develop two e-learning resources that reflect client needs and the contexts of application. You will demonstrate your consultation, research and findings and present the completed designs for both resources. For one of the resources you will document, trial and review the resource, including user feedback and how this impacted on the development of the resource. You will then present the final e-learning resource, either complete or in part (or as a sample), and describe your specific role in the development process.


Grades used in this unit are as follows:


CA Competency Achieved
NYC Not Yet Competent
DNS Did Not Submit For Assessment


Assessment Matrix

The assessment matrix demonstrates how the assessment task(s) aligns with the relevant unit
of competency and will be made available in the first class or through myRMIT Studies.
