    The use of e-assessment is increasing rapidly in the vocational education and training(VET) sector in Australia. Recent national benchmarking surveys, conducted by the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework), revealed that over forty per cent of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and more than sixty per cent of teachers and trainers are using some form of e-assessment (Australian Flexible Learning Framework 2010).The most common form of e-assessment appears to be the online quiz (Callan and Clayton, 2010). However the consultations conducted during the development of these guidelines revealed that assessors are using a wide range of e-assessment strategies to collect evidence, provide feedback and record and report assessment outcomes. Both the Framework and the former National Quality Council have been keen to promote e-assessment and to ensure that e-assessment materials and practices are consistent with the principles of good assessment that are embedded in the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF).To this end, the Council and the Framework commissioned the development of this set of guidelines. These are designed to: promote quality e-assessment materials and practices that are consistent with the (AQTF), ensure that e-assessment materials are readily accessible across the VET system,and  encourage further innovation in the design and deployment of e-assessment materials and systems.It is envisaged that a range of stakeholders will use the guidelines. For example: enterprise and industry organisations may use the guidelines to check that eassessment materials meet the relevant competency standards, are accessible to all employees and are deployed in the most efficient manner. RTOs may use the guidelines to inform decisions about the acquisition or development of e-assessment materials and systems.  assessors may apply the guidelines in deciding how e-assessment materials and systems may be used to enha

    I work in a private RTO. When can I use copyright material for my work without seeking permission from the copyright owner? Your private RTO is unlikely to have been declared an 'educational institution' under the Copyright Act 1968 10A(4) declaration and will not be operating under statutory licences that allow it to reproduce other peoples creations.Private RTO's can purchase 'blanket licences' that allow it to operate in the same way as the statutory licences. Contact the Copyright Agency Limited for detailed information.Otherwise, if a work is subject to copyright you will generally need the copyright owner's permission to reproduce it. However, listed below are several circumstances where you won't need permission:Owner gives permission Some authors, want to make their work more freely available so they put an alternative copyright statement on their work. This is often true in the VET system where there is a strong culture of collaboration. To check this - read the copyright statements on hard copy items. In the electronic environment look out for items bearing a Free for Education (FfE) or Creative Commons logo.Work is now in the public domain What is the public domain? This is where all works go when their copyright expires. In Australia, that is 70 years after the author dies. Once a work is in public domain you can use as much or as little of it as you like without the author's permission. To find out more try typing "public domain" into any major search engine.

Universal design for learning - 1 views

  • We make assumptions that all people who are ‘normal’ have brains that function in pretty much the same way when doing certain tasks.  Yet research shows that multiple areas of the brain fire up when doing tasks and the degree to which particular areas fire up varies like a thumbprint.
