a) induction arrangements are used effectively to establish a rapport and parameters for support to learners

b) online support is managed effectively throughout the learning programme to provide regular planned contact and to meet unscheduled individual needs

c) motivation techniques are used effectively to encourage participation from learners

d) style of communication with learners is appropriate for an online environment

e) content(s) of online communications contribute to the learner's learning

f) techniques for monitoring and recording learner performance are used effectively for an online environment.

Outcome 3

Use online tools and techniques to support learning.

Performance criteria

a) communication flow is managed effectively and appropriately in terms of timing of contact with the learner and organisation of information

b) computer mediated communication techniques are used effectively to support the learner.

Evidence requirements

Outcome 2

The candidate should produce a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates how he/she has provided online support for learners. This is likely to include evidence of planning, schedules of delivery, copies of emails, a contact log and recording and mentoring records. A commentary will be required to explain how the performance criteria have been met.

Induction arrangements should include evidence that the candidate has established a rapport, ensured that the learner is familiar with the technology and the support facilities, ensured that expectations for the learner and for providers of on-line support are clear and established communication links.

Outcome 3

Evidence for this outcome is likely to be generated alongside the evidence for Outcome 2. The candidate should produce a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates how he/she has provided online support for learners. At least 2 computer mediated communication techniques should be used, for example email, threaded discussion (involving more than 2 people), videoconferencing. A commentary will be required to explain how the performance criteria have been met.

Guidance notes

The unit specification also includes guidance notes for completing this assessment.
