RTO Assessment – evidence from Independent study

RTO Assessment includes the assessor being assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes as described in the module or unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.

RTO Assessment

If substantial portions of the evidence submitted are gathered through independent study (e.g. assignments or projects) rather than direct observation, you could be jeopardising your Rules of evidence.

Rules of evidence.

Validity The assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes as described in the module or unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.

Sufficiency The assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence enables a judgement to be made of a learner’s competency.

Authenticity The assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work.

Currency The assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This requires the assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past

So the jeopardy could be in Authenticity. Consider using online systems to check work submissions for plagiarism and identical content in other submissions.

We are not alone in the pursuit to find a way to ensure the students actual work is being submitted. Universities throughout the world have become concerned with the question of how to minimise and respond appropriately to student plagiarism and other forms of cheating. There are many techniques being employed in educating students about plagiarism and in detecting breaches of their academic expectations. The VET sector is also not immune.

There are two suggested ways for minimising plagiarism: 1. the assessment task design, and 2. involves teaching students about plagiarism, and in particular, how to avoid it.
