Validate assessment tasks and processes
The process really was following the training package guidelines, sticking to the performance criteria approach. After we had written each unit we would go back and check off that we had covered every element and every criteria and when we went through the evaluation stages we got a second look through about five more sets of eyes.
We had feedback from teachers who were doing it, and from learners as well.
Evaluate & modify assessment tools
We evaluated the technical side as well and there were some issues. Not
as a result of the actual product, really just that people didn’t
have a plug-in that they needed or they were trying to do it on an old 286
computer or something. These were user hitches rather than technical hitches.
Nothing we were actually responsible for but it was interesting and helped
us devise the kind of up front information you should give, like minimum
requirements.
We modified the Toolbox on the basis of this. We put a lot more information
into the orientation, just basic instructions like how to save a document
(which we took for granted that people knew) .
