May 2013
2. AT Gold Coast Institute
of TAFE we are piloting
the use of iPads and e-
portfolios for our in
house Diploma of VET
staff development
program
Evidence collected meets the critical
aspects for the following units:-
•TAEPDD501A Maintain and enhance
professional practice
•TAEDEL502A Provide advanced
facilitation practice
•TAEASS501A Provide advanced
assessment practice
•TAEDES505A Evaluate a training program
Some of the benefits of using an e-
assessment model for our staff
development programs are:-
•Enhanced PDP process
•Modelling innovative teaching, learning
and assessment practices
•Sustainable educational practices
•Compliance
•Transference of e-assessment model to
commercial delivery programs
3. Fantastic , now I
can discuss getting
my Diploma of Vet
or Bachelor in VET
I’m only new to
teaching, why do I
have to bother with a
PDP AND worry about
becoming an Advanced
VET Teacher?
We need to discuss
your Professional
Development Plan
(PDP) and the steps
you need to take to
become an
Advanced VET
Practitioner
4. Reflect on your current
professional Practice
Plan a professional
development program
Participatein
professional practice
activities
Demonstrate
advanced facilitation and
assessment practices
Lead peers in
professional development
Quality educational
outcomes are a result of
the VET practitioner
being actively involved
in a cycle of continuous
improvement

5. What’s the
purpose of this
cycle of
continuous
improvement
•Focus on quality teaching
•Pathway to advanced VET
teaching qualifications
•Career advancement
•Employment opportunities
•Compliance requirements
•Focus on Industry and
educational currency
•Ensuring our teaching staff
have the capability to meet
our current and future
strategic direction
6. What sort of
evidence do I
need to collect?
•current PDP
•third party observation reports of
facilitation and assessment
•feedback from learners
•lesson plans
•timetabling and attendance
•video or audio recordings and
photographs
•assessment records
•learning and assessment materials
developed by you, or used in your
practice
•journal entries or diaries
•Formal Qualifications or certification
•Certificate of membership to industry
and professional bodies
7. How will I
“collect”
and “store”
this
evidence
One of the best portable
and “sustainable” or
“green” ways is to use
“digital” or “e-assessment”
collection and storage
methods.
Such as using
• iPads and apps to collect
•e-portfolios to store it
8. I could use the iPad to :-
•Record audio, video or
photos of my teaching and
assessing
• complete and “sign”
observation checklists and
marking criteria guides
E-portfolios are just like having
my own web page in cyber
space. I can :-
•Collect and store all my
evidence over time
•select who sees it
•use it for RPL applications or
job interviews, even assessment
submissions
•Use the evidence to
demonstrate an advancement
to a leading teaching position
9. I want to look at
some iPad and
e-portfolio
examples
Wow , I could use
these e-assessment
tools for my own
students’ assessment
or RPL evidence
collection and
marking criteria
checklists !!
10. Interactive PDF form
completed using the
ipad
Document signed on
iPad and emailed to
