Three versions of a video explaining Competency Based Assessment – one with voice-over, two with animations and music. Which one is best?

Assessment “matching game”
I have been using WISC Online for online games and objects for a while now, this time I thought I would have a go at making my own (very basic!) game. Have a go! Or share with students. What do you think ?
This is not done as part of an e-learning program or via Moodle or Blackboard, rather, a stand-alone item which I could insert in e-learning (SCORM package) or use as suits the situation. In this case just building a few items to have on hand.
A picture is worth…
a thousand words or in this case many cliches. See image below by John Atkinson, Wrong Hands1.wordpress.com. He has some great illustrations which perfectly explain things vividly in one image – have a look. You can visit and use his work, he asks for a donation on usage. I showed this to my training group when we were talking about language and literacy – in particular cultural and topical references.
Designing competency-based training programs (an overview)
Thinking of “my” TAEDES401A students I put this together.
Trainers, teachers, educator friends – sharing something about “special needs”
Haven’t put this down on paper before – a little scary – here goes – So you’ve never had a learner with special needs
added “how to…” videos
I have added two “how to…” videos and will add more as I find them or make them.
How to…locate a unit of competency (I have prepared)
How to…do a powerpoint 2010 presentation (mullinsj08, Windows Tutorials youtube)
Blooms…via Seinfeld
Well what a classic combo..Bloom’s taxonomy of learning objectives and Seinfeld! I really love Seinfeld (and miss it). Not sure if this is a great example but it was fun rewatching!
Assessment terms – competency based assessment
Overview of competency based assessment terms.
Validation example clip
When using National Training Packages to train and assess staff we “validate” qualification units and their assessment kits (review and check). Often done face-to-face with a team of validators (who may be assessors, quality managers, assessment designers, trainers or others with a stake in the RTO providing compliant documentation and processes).
Attached is a light-hearted example of how these often kick off (though costumes are not usually necessary!)
RPL Interview Example
Here are two clips – Intro of RPL Interview and then the remainder and close (Part 2). This is to give TAE students an idea of how it goes. This is a free (and fairly limited) animation program (Plotagon)…it is intended to give you an idea (rather than be a cinematic masterpiece!).
