E2 Conduct the assessment process

When you are conducting online assessment you will need to make sure that the learner is adequately supported. Think about how you:

• provide feedback to learners. Timely, constructive and appropriate feedback on assessment issues may be critical in maintaining learner effort.
• include opportunities for feedback from the learner's peers
• provide support for learners with access and equity issues
• provide support for learners in accessing and submitting assessments. Sometimes the technology frustrates learners and they may need a helping hand.
• provide opportunities for learners to clarify the assessment tasks. You may want to consider:
  • an online chat session early in the delivery to ensure learners are clear about the requirements
  • a Frequently Asked Questions section in the online discussion board
  • outlining the protocols for email access to the teacher/assessor with agreed response time.

Finally it is your task to assess competency using the evidence that has been submitted.
