Session 3AN APPROACH TO INTEGRATED DELIVERY AND ASSESSMENT

This Session

• Integrated learning and assessment- What?- why?

• A sample approach-a diagnostic tool

• Next steps• Questions

Why Integrate

• Maximise opportunities for holistic skill development and evidence gathering

• Reduce likelihood of repetitious delivery and over assessment

• Reduce atomisation and duplication of evidence collection • Make the evidence gathering more efficient for learners and

trainers/assessors• Assists assessors to make assessment judgements

A sample approach

1. Identify the units for integration based on clear synergies between the outcomes

2. Select an appropriate theme to enable contextualisation of the outcomes relevant to the learner group

3. Determine the indicative delivery content and document the relationship between the content and the pwerfomrance criteria of both units

4. Determine the indicative assessment criteria and appropriate assessment methods and document the relationship between the assessment criteria and the performance and knowledge outcomes of both units

Applying the approach

1. The units VBQU138 Create texts of limited complexity to participate in the community and VBQU135 Engage with texts of limited complexity for community purposes have clear links between reading and writing

2. The contextualised theme is volunteering in the community

3. The delivery content is identified in broad terms and mapped to the individual performance criteria of each units

4. The assessment criteria is identified in broad terms of what learners must be able to do and what they must know, and the assessment criteria is mapped to the performance criteria and knowledge requirements of both units
