This webinar pushes past limiting views to open up the extraordinary learning and teaching opportunities offered by digital learning technologies. In pushing through we also tackle misconceptions that limit our exploitation of what they can do.

Join us in putting together the pieces of the fairness puzzle. We consider fairness from learner, assessor and regulator perspectives and arrive at an integrated understanding. We work through expectations about reasonable adjustment, preserving assessment integrity and record keeping.

This webinar brings an opportunity to clear up that uncertainty about interpretation of industry engagement, that baffling record keeping requirement, that niggling query about third party arrangements. Ask an auditor!

In this webinar, participants investigated blending teaching practice, with an emphasis on careful planning, resources o support blended teaching and learning, and exploring the benefits of team teaching in successfully blending teaching.

This webinar explores strategies that combine to produce consistent student engagement. We work through ideas about building and sustaining a learning climate among your students. The webinar builds your resources for establishing a growth mindset – a habit of mind leading students to believe that by engaging and working hard, they will succeed.

This webinar explains the purposes of peer review and how teachers can activate it in training and assessment. We look at the deployment of peer review in various teaching models, including blended and face-to-face learning.

This webinar invites you to consider options for frontloading quality assurance for assessment tools. Drawing on quality expectations set down in the Standards for RTOs (2015), we investigate the design and documentation requirements for best practice assessment tools.

This webinar examines clauses 1.8 – 1.12 of the Standards – the assessment clauses. We unpack the meanings and expectations wrapped up in them. You will take away an understanding of how to document assessment practice so your RTO’s guarantee is good and you are always audit ready.

We consider when workplaces are appropriate sites for assessment, assessors’ responsibilities, constraints on employer participation, and strategies for workplace evidence gathering.

This webinar unpacks the rules applying to each dimension, and explains how to demonstrate you’ve applied the rules in your assessment designs and practice. We’ll look at examples that miss the point, and examples that measure up to the right kind of evidence.

This webinar teases out such dilemmas and helps planners develop a ‘defensible argument’ for the volume of learning they attribute to a qualification and each unit within that qualification.

This webinar brings good news. With the guidance of a facilitator experienced in systematic validation, we clarify the expectations. The webinar introduces established understandings about efficient and effective validation processes that deliver both quality outcomes and compliance outputs (including documentation).

This webinar looks at characteristics of online learning spaces that influence the strategies trainers need to drive learning with the same confidence they exhibit in the classroom. The webinar explores a range of practices including monitoring student engagement, using collaborative documents, and the link between online facilitation and assessment.

This webinar regards evidence with the attentive eyes of a regulator and auditor. What passes muster in their view? We round up details about your responsibilities for collecting, keeping and locating evidence. And rather than filing an empty plate, we consider practical alternatives for evidence you can’t retain.
