Outcome 1 - Assessment exercise

Assessment conditions

This is an open book assessment. You should use and critically reflect on programme notes and reading materials to justify your reasons, recommendations, actions and choices.

Activity

Choose a key learning activity or programme currently offered by your organisation (the one in which you are engaged in supporting learners).

Before you start to write your report discuss your choice with your facilitator.

Write a report of between 1500 to 3000 words.

In your report you must:

  • state what the learning activity/programme is
  • outline the methodology you currently use to support learners during this activity/programme
  • state why you want to introduce online learning support to the activity/ programme, highlighting strengths, weaknesses and benefits
  • identify the differences in approach which you would have to adopt if you were to support learners online
  • identify what tools and techniques you would use to support your learners online
  • explain how your choice of tools and techniques would be integrated and used in the learning activity/programme
  • provide a strategy for evaluating your learners' learning experience
  • identify any problems and barriers which would have to be overcome in your organisation to implement your new model

Ensure that you justify your recommendations, reasons, actions and choices and where practicable demonstrate that you have:

  • an understanding of current initiatives influencing the development of online learning
  • reflected on current and emerging practice in online learning and online learner support
  • engaged in an online threaded discussion

Please provide a bibliography giving details of information sources. Every entry in the bibliography should be explicitly mentioned at least once in the text, and every source referred to in the text should feature in the bibliography.

Before submitting your report as an email attachment to your facilitator, check carefully that you have met all the performance criteria for Outcome 1 of the Unit.
