April 2012
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
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
Reflect on your current professional Practice
Plan a professional development program
Participate in 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

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
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
How will I “collect”
and “store” this
evidence
One of the best portableand “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
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
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 !!
Completed observation checklist
• Interactive PDF form completed using
the ipad
• Document signed on Ipad and emailed
to student and admin as audit evidence
• Photographic evidence can be captured
and attached to electronic marking
criteria
• This concept now being integrated into
all teaching areas: on campus , in the
workplace and RPL as evidence
collection tool and process
• Interactive PDF forms and Ipad/tablet
process also being implemented across
administration to enable digital
archiving, thereby reducing printing and
archiving storage costs.
Eportfolio concept currently
being introduced into the
trades for Cert 1 carpentry as
evidence storage collection
• to enable schools to review
students progress
• To enable potential
employers to view students
work prior to offering
apprenticeships
