Assessment requirements
The curriculum for the Graduate Certificate in Flexible Delivery is in Learning Outcome format. Originally the individual modules were developed by a number of Victorian TAFE providers and they designed assessment tasks based on the assessment criteria. However I used these criteria to develop my own modified versions of the assessment tasks which would meet the needs of my particular learner group.
Online support arrangements
| Swinburne TAFE division has its own WebCT platform for delivery of online learning programs so that was the logical choice for my delivery. The Learning Strategies unit provides support for staff developing learning and assessment programs and staff there were involved in assisting with development of templates and sorting out technical issues. |  |
There is also a Help Desk for learners which provides all the usual support to learners who are having trouble logging in and using the platform.
Project staff skills
I am fairly comfortable in using Dreamweaver and WebCT so this was not really an issue, but anyone else who takes over from me would need to develop these skills.
Testing and validation
This is an area where we probably could have had more rigorous processes.
As I am the only staff member delivering these modules I was really working
pretty much in isolation although I did use the others in my unit to validate
the assessment tasks. I also used an external person to test the materials.
