Assessment requirements
At the planning stage we looked at the training package and at the evidence that is required. We then tried to align the evidence required with the assessment.
We didn’t expect to provide all the assessment for that particular unit, but we wanted to give as many assessment tasks as possible in the whole process.
Where the Toolbox was to be used in a blended form of delivery there would be some face-to-face training as well as some as some Toolbox type activities so the online activities are basically a support to learning.
Online support arrangement
Most of these Toolboxes end up in WebCT or some sort of Learning Management System (LMS). If
we are too prescriptive in the way that we deal with this, it just doesn’t
fit the LMS situation at all. We try to make it as general as possible and
to let the LMS take over all communication and discussion areas.
Project staff skills
Our staff are actually coming through with experience in two or three Toolboxes
and so are very very highly skilled. We just needed to bring the content
expert up to speed with the technology. He now uses the Toolbox fully in
his own delivery.
Testing and validation
We tested as we went along - quality and technical testing. We have an
ongoing technical testing schedule.
