Assessing and Evaluating for Learning/Getting Started

Managing your way through the course work
Don't be overwhelmed Nibble at this course in bite size chunks.

The course work is laid out in progressive modules.

Each module is designed to encourage you to think about and explore the topic of the module.

The questions and activities are to develop your own learning -
 * you may wish to keep track of your thoughts either by:
 * making your own notes,
 * making a voice or video recording,
 * noting your thoughts in a blog.
 * (All these are a form of a learning journal)

Sharing learning is a great way to extend your thinking. Formal learners are encouraged to share their learning through the discussion board on Moodle

Getting Started (for Formal Learners)
A great place to start is by reading the pdf version of the course outline.

Check out the learning outcomes then review the assessment requirements for the course.

It does get a bit confusing talking about the assessment for a course on assessment.

If you have previously completed any unit standards on assessment such as 4098 please discuss this with me (Heather), as there are possibilities for reduced assessment based on prior learning.

NB: As this is a course on assessment there is also the option to negotiate alternative assessment if you feel there is another way that you can clearly demonstrate the learning outcomes for the course. Check the course outline for the timeline for this.

Now that you have found your way around the WikiEducator course pages (think of these as your study guide or workbook for the course); go to the Moodle Discussion Board to introduce yourself.

Then its time for Module One
