Transcript of CAE Commons: Next Steps
CAE Commons: Next StepsCAE Commons is a 2010 Victorian E-learning Innovations project output, developed by CAE with seed funding
from the national training system's e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework.
What is a collection?An Equella digital resource collection consists of:– Uploaded items– Data about the items stored as metadata– A way of searching for and retrieving items– A workflow for upload and review of items– A set of permissions for access and management*Text from Learning Resource Collections in the TAFE VC presentation by Ken Gooding (e-works)
The components of a collectionMetadata Schema•Information about an item
Workflow template•How an item is treated when uploaded•Who has a role in moderating an item
Collection definition•Described how a collection will function
User Access Control•Who has access to the collection•Who has rights to do what
Administration• How an item is contributed• How information is gathered
Metadata is captured on upload
Roles and groupscan be used formoderation

Metadata SchemaWhat we have done:
Metadata SchemaWhat’s needed next:
1. TEACHING AREA TAXONOMY
• Resource Type: individual teaching areas to define most commonly resource types classifications.
• Keywords: individual teaching areas to define a consistent vocabulary to describe resources.
Metadata Schema2. STANDARD PROTOCOLSEstablish standard protocols.
For example:• no abbreviations except as defined
(ie. VCE, IT, VCAL, OET, VCE, LLN, LOTE, OHT ) • no symbols• numbers under ten written except for unit codes• roman numerals for qualification levels (IV etc)• capitalise first letters
AdministrationWhat we have done:
•Defined basic process for contributing items and searching
•Trialled and adapted processes according to feedback
•Created separate collection for Yoga Teaching – model could also apply to short courses
AdministrationWhat’s needed next:
•Moderation: define process and criteria–Which resources are moderated?–When?–Who moderates?–What is the moderation criteria?
•Review: define process and criteria–How often are resources reviewed?–Who reviews?–What’s the review criteria?–Do resources have a ‘shelf life’?
Moderation history details
User Access ControlWhat we have done:• Collection currently administered by Delivery
Innovation project group, e-works consultants and Steering Committee
• Currently two levels of access:– Full access: access and editing rights to all
collection definitions – Light access: contribute and search access only

Full access: approves collection and process definition
Full access: defines and manages processes, can alter collection definitions
Moderate access: Day-to-day processes – manage moderation and review for teaching area, no access to collection definition
Light access: can contribute and search but not moderate or review

E-Skills Matrix
E-Skills MatrixWhat we have done:• Created a four level E-Skills Matrix based on the GOTafe model
• Skill levels are:1. 100% face-to-face classroom delivery. Rare or occasional use of
technology. 2. 100% face-to-face classroom delivery. Regular use of technology. 3. Blended delivery – 75% face-to-face classroom delivery, 25% online
delivery. 4. Blended delivery – 50% face-to-face classroom delivery, 50% online
delivery.
• 100% of teachers surveyed as part of the CAE Commons trials identified themselves as Level 2.
E-Skills MatrixFuture possibilities:
•Seek funding for development
•Further develop and trial Skill level definitions
•Roll out E-skills Matrix as part of induction pack and online
• Incorporate E-skills definitions into Position Descriptions
• Identify E-Skills gap areas and develop face-to-face and online PDs
