ASSESSMENT INFORMATION for students
Throughout your training, Kingston Institute of Australia is committed to your learning by providing a training and assessment framework that ensures the knowledge gained through training is translated into practical on the job improvements.
You are going to be assessed for:
· Your skills and knowledge using written and observation activities that apply to the workplace or a simulated environment.
· Your ability to apply your learning.
· Your ability to recognize common principles and actively use these on the job.
All of your assessment and training is provided as a positive learning tool. Your assessor will guide your learning and provide feedback on your responses to the assessment materials until you have been deemed competent in this unit.
Assessment Process
The process we follow is known as competency-based assessment. To achieve competency in this unit, you need to consider the components of the training package and fulfill the assessment requirements. Some of the components are Elements, Performance Criteria, Performance Evidence, Knowledge Evidence and Assessment Conditions. For more details on components, please visit the following links and search for the unit using the unit code;
https://training.gov.au/Training/Details
In competency-based assessment, the evidence of your current skills and knowledge will be measured against national standards of best practice, not against the learning you have undertaken either recently or in the past. Some of the assessment will be concerned with how you apply your skills and knowledge in the workplace, and some in the training room as required by each unit.
The assessment tasks have been designed to enable you to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge and produce the critical evidence to successfully demonstrate competency at the required standard.
Your assessor will explain the assessment process and ensure that you are ready for assessment. Your assessment tasks will outline the evidence to be collected and how it will be collected, for example; a written activity, case study, or demonstration and observation.

From Moodle Moot New Zealand 2019, my slides for my presentation. I use photos I took of good design during my travels on the various transit systems in Tokyo. I have related these to concepts we should consider when designing our training materials.
From EdtechPosium 2018: If you're a professor or teacher publishing articles, how do you make this content available to your students? This presentation will bring together a popular open-source CMS and a popular open-source LMS to show you see how to syndicate content from WordPress to Moodle and vice versa. This presentation will show how to leverage WordPress' strong RSS filtering features to display your published content in Moodle. You will also be shown how to generate content from activities in Moodle and display this back on your WordPress site. While this provides great flexibility with reflective blogging with your learners, the door is open to more powerful and experimental uses when you consider the Moodle activities that can generate an RSS feed. Syndicate your WordPress publications to Moodle, or use Moodle to generate your content on WordPress - the possibilities are exciting.
WCSYD: Three Incredibly Nerdy (But Ultimately Pointless) TopicsKenneth Scott Huntley
Scott Huntley presents on three nerdy topics at WordCamp Sydney. What is Pherlog and can you get a WP powered one? Who is WordPress' sibling? Can you lose your blog in your couch cushions?
A tongue-in-cheek speech I gave for #SydPHP's 20 Years of PHP celebration. I advocated for PHP developers to get involved in open-source LMS projects by "borrowing" from great speeches.
My slides from Moodle Moot Australia 2015. I discuss ideas about how we can use the Internet of Things to enhance eLearning. I discuss my experiences in building a wearable that displayed information from Moodle.
From my presentation when I walked the group through installing WordPress on Amazon Web Services. This presentation is really just a walk through of existing tutorials, but you can find the links I used in it.
WordPress Parramatta Meetup, 7 October 2014: WCSyd Wrapup. This presentation outlined some of the highlights from WordCamp Sydney, which was held Sep 27 & 28.
This presentation was a good starting point for our discussion. The attendees of the conference chatted about what their stand out presentations were, and about the general mood and feel of the conference. We tried to convey what WordCamp is, what WCSyd 14 was, and how WCWhereever is going to be awesome and we all need to attend!
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. The world of compliance in
VET…
ASQA – Australian Skills Quality
Authority
Registered Training Organisation
(RTO) provides nationally recognised
and accredited training in the VET
sector in Australia
ASQA is the national regulator of the
vocational education and training
(VET) sector and conducts
registration and compliance audits
3. RTO Standards
The standards that refer to the
assessment process are 1.8 – 1.18
The standards require that we
validate assessment practices and
judgments
A valid assessment judgment is one
that confirms a learner holds all of
the knowledge and skills described
in a training product
4. RTO Standards
In addition the assessment process
must be conducted in accordance
with the Principles of Assessment
and the Rules of Evidence.
Principles of Assessment:
− Fairness
− Flexibility
− Validity
− Reliability
5. RTO Standards
Rules of Evidence
− Validity
− Sufficiency
− Authenticity
− Currency
For more detailed information on the
current standards -
Download Standards for RTOs 2015
6. The audit experience
We passed but challenges and areas
of improvement noted include –
− Documenting the evidence to justify
the outcome you give a student. Why
is a competent a competent???
− Feedback to students
− Informing students at every step in
the learning and assessment cycle
7. Competency-based training
and assessment
The definition that ASQA use for
competency-based training and
assessment:
Competency based training and
assessment means that a person is
trained and assessed to meet the
performance and knowledge
requirements to safely and
effectively complete workplace
activities in a range of different
situations and environments, to an
industry standard that is expected
in the workplace.
8. Competency based
What competency based training
and assessment is NOT…
Competency based training and
assessment does not compare the
training outcomes between
learners. Learners are assessed
against the requirements of a
training product.
10. How do I pass the unit?
Students entering the VET sector
from school can be used to either:
− Marks, percentages or similar. For
example 55 out of 100
− If I turn up and hand something in I
must pass right???
We often get students who want to
know the minimum amount they can
complete in terms of assessment to
be deemed competent
− Surely if I do well in Part A I can skip
Part B???
11. How do we use Moodle?
Like many Moodles, different
teachers use in different ways
Not much interactivity
− Always a challenge to use more of
Moodle’s potential
We wanted to trial Moodle core
features to help with Compliance
issues
− Create transparency with our
students around Competency Based
Assessment.
12. How do we use Moodle?
Creation of a “Development Moodle”
to build pilot courses and trial
features
− We wanted to focus on Activity
Completion, Access Restriction, the
Progress Bar, and Badges
− In other words, focus on controlling
students’ workflows and feedback
Decided to trial Database cluster as
Sharyn and Scott are both very
familiar with this cluster
− Focused on a single unit: ICTPRG425 Use
Structured Query Language
13. Student assessment guide
One of the early steps in meeting
the requirements around the
assessment process is informing the
student of:
− How they will be assessed
− When these assessments will take
place
A standard document known as a
student assessment guide is used
14. Student assessment guide
Sample assessment guide containing
all the information required under
compliance standards
15. Student assessment guide
The evidence requirement is a
student acknowledgment of the
receipt and understanding of this
document
This is what the student sees:
17. Student Assessment Guides
There are other similar “red tape”
forms that we need students to fill
out, sign or acknowledge
For example Authority to publish or
WHS checks
This used to be done with hard
copies
18. Feedback and Tracking
Options that we are trialling:
− Outcomes
− Choice activities
− Progress bar
− Badges
− Course Completion Report
19. Outcomes
These are aligned to performance
criteria or elements of competence
or benchmarks that a student needs
to achieve
Once the benchmarks have been
created they are assigned to the
relevant assessment events
When teacher grades students’
completed assessment they
evaluated each “benchmark” as
satisfactory or not satisfactory
21. Choices Activity
We create a section in the Moodle
based on student achieving a
benchmark
Same choice technique as used in
the student acknowledgment of
SAG.
In other words the student
acknowledges the feedback and this
triggers activity completion – this is
our hack to allow the workflow to
continue
23. Progress Bar
We decided to do this on the
element level as there are so many
performance criteria
One element represents one
segment on the progress bar
When the student acknowledges the
feedback on element completion it
reflects on their progress bar.
24. Progress Bar
Sample showing that one student
(Jacob) has achieved one element of
competency so far:
25. Badges
Can reflect the same data as a
progress bar
We’ve set this up to reflect badges
gained:
− per unit element of competency,
− for a single unit or
− for a cluster of units
26. Course Completion Report
Once the outcomes, choices and
either badges or progress bar have
been set up there are a number of
reports that a teacher can use to
track student completions
The next slide shows a sample:
28. Where to from here…
This is just a start - lots more to try
Great potential in saving time and
meeting our compliance targets
A glimpse into the future – using
IFTTT or similar interfaces to trigger
events outside of Moodle:
− Putting a badge on a student
Facebook page
− Tweeting a course completion
congrats!
Editor's Notes
To be able to deliver accredited training in the VET sector you must be a RTO. To deliver training to international students you must have CRICOS registration. CRICOS - Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students.
Compliance audits ensure RTO’s ongoing adherence to the standards required for registration. This ensures that students, employers and industry have confidence in this training sector.
ASQA identifies and evaluates key risks to the quality assurance process of course delivery and assessment. Risk may be identified around a course or a provider.
