C4 Design learner support materials
Assessment often requires support materials, but this can be even more necessary when learners will be accessing and completing their tasks online. At this stage you may need to consider developing support materials which:
- assist the learner in accessing and using the technology which houses the online assessment tasks
- clearly explain the requirements of the task, both online and face-to-face components
- address issues of timelines, flexibility and alternative arrangements
- ensure learners are aware of the legal issues of copyright and plagiarism
- provide learners with a model of6/6/08rtant in online delivery as the teacher is not there to give examples of final requirements as they would be in a face-to-face situation
- provide information on where to go to get help.
