This Unit first released with TAE10 Training and Education Training Package version 3.0. |
Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to evaluate how current pedagogical practices can be transformed to capitalise on the increasing options for learning based on the immediacy, mobility and portability of technology.
The unit develops the advanced theoretical and technical knowledge required to respond to the implications associated with learning now occurring any time, any place, on a range of digital devices, from a variety of digital sources, and with anyone from around the globe.
It develops the skills required to examine highly effective pedagogies based on the increasing use and availability of a wide range of e-learning options.
Application of the Unit
This unit applies to teachers, trainers, educators and facilitators wanting to develop advanced pedagogical skills and knowledge based on the increasing range of learning options now available with technology.
They can use the skills and knowledge to analyse, evaluate and transform information in order to implement, manage and supervise the application of effective pedagogies using a range of e-learning options.
The unit may relate to learning activities in a small to medium sized organisation, or to a significant unit of activity in a large organisation.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Pre-Requisites
Not applicable.
Employability Skills Information
This unit contains employability skills.
Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
|
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
|
Element |
Performance Criteria |
|
1. Evaluate the pedagogical effects of e-learning |
1.1 Analyse recent research into the results of a range of e-learning programs 1.2 Evaluate existing learning practices without technology and compare their effectiveness to e-learning 1.3 Use well-developed judgement to identify the most effective current e-learning options 1.4 Use independent judgement to develop learning criteria to apply to these approaches 1.5 Evaluate the effectiveness of these approaches based on these criteria |
|
2. Generate e-learning options to cater for diversity |
2.1 Assess and evaluate e-learning options to cater for the unique learning needs of each learner 2.2 Design an e-learning program that will enable leaners to effectively use technologies that suit their learning needs 2.3 Evaluate the effectiveness of a range of readily available technology devices 2.4 Evaluate the effectiveness of a range of readily available e-learning software options |
|
3. Initiate self-directed learning using technology |
3.1 Plan learning programs that address different learning styles and increasingly enable learners to direct their own learning through the use of technology 3.2 Implement learning that uses technology to take advantage of global access to like-minded learners 3.3 Design learning that will enable learners to be co-creators of their own learning 3.4 Use technologies and software that enable learners to get instant and accurate feedback on their learning |
|
4. Use technology to personalise learning |
4.1 Implement a program to allow learners to use a range of web services to create their own online learning environment 4.2 Use online analytical tools and data to understand and evaluate learning in an organisation 4.3 Design constructive procedures for learners to access, interpret and effectively use their own analytical learning data |
