The analysis stage

 

Learner group

Our client, the Victorian Department of Education & Training (DE&T), provided us with a comprehensive profile of our learner cohort. In addition to the provided profile, content developers were required to make contact with School Services Officers (SSOs) with regard to sourcing case studies for their units. The instructional designer also established ongoing relationships with a variety of SSOs including the DE&T SSO unit, who became a part of the development team. These contacts further contributed to our understanding of the learner cohort.

Assessment context

We referred to comprehensive information from DE&T and the competency standards. We also relied on our experience with workplace training and assessment.

Current practice & existing resources

This was not relevant to the units of competency as this was a new training program. However we did rely on our current knowledge of workplace delivery.

We identified existing resources for reference sources for content developers using a variety of search methods.

Range and type of assessment

We evaluated the range and type of assessment by analysing our client's brief and by considering the specifications of the units of competency in the program.
