Evaluate
F1 Validate assessment tasks and processes
In many ways online assessment is no different from any other form of assessment. Setting up a validation process will ensure:
- the currency and accuracy of the assessment task with the current Training Package or curriculum
- the needs of the learner group are met
- stakeholders have opportunities to contribute
- moderation with other assessors
- consistency of assessment standards.
The online environment offers new opportunities for assessors to share their tasks, approaches and standards within online networks. It is possible to be linked to practitioners across Australia through online chats and discussion forums.
