Certificate 3 in Engineering Fabrication Trade
E-Validation project 2013
Presented by Steve McMahon & Jaci Ganendran
Overview of Project
CIT proposes to develop a process to independently validate assessment
tools and student assessment outcomes for apprentices in the Certificate
III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade (MEM30305) using a number of
eLearning tools (e.g. Moodle, Adobe Connect and EQUELLA). The
project will aim to trial a model to effectively engage metal fabrication
experts from employers, industry groups and other RTOs across Australia
using the eLearning tools to validate the formative and summative
assessment tools and outcomes (including those completed through
RPL) for seven units of competency (six core and one elective) from the
Certificate III in Engineering Fabrication qualification.

Over view of project
Developing the Validation Tool - EQUELLA
Having the equipment to enable online connection with reliable download speed
Training in the validation process that includes face to face and online interaction.
Experience with using EQUELLA
Understanding of the Training Package how does the performance criteria that students are assessed against, relate to the
resources.
Identifying IT skills the RTO & Industry needed to participate in e-Validation
ITchallenges
Identifying IT skills needed to
participate in e-Validation Reliable
internet connections
and download speed
Having the programs that
will open attachments
Being able to access other forms of technology to
access information e.g. Tablets, mobile
phones etc.
Skills in using online meeting
rooms e.g. Adobe CONNECT,
Blackboard & EQUELLA
Time management to
gain the skills needed
The challenges faced with IT skills & Technology to participate in e-Validation
Building the UOC for Validation

Sample of students assessment
Exemplar of students assessment
These samples of the students actual work is presented at the validation process 3 samples of each practical assessment are viewed
This also includes work that is not to an industry standard
Industry feedback and suggestions
To date we have piloted this with 5 members of the pilot group and have received some constructive feedback on how they perceive the validation process should work.
Some key points that have been part of the discussion to date:
Ensure that the wording is text that is relevant to industry and not structured to the VET environment.
Keep the flow of the links to evidence in line with the validation questions
What is the difference between assessment work and assessment task?
This process has given Industry & Tafe a better insight to the skills and knowledge that is currently required to be successful in the engineering environment.
The amount of time it will take to validate a unit of competency
