7OS03 Level 3 Advanced Diploma : Technology Enhanced Learning

Introduction

Your knowledge and understanding of the material covered in this specialist unit will be assessed through your written answers to the four questions set out below.

You will write four answers of approximately 1000 words to the questions posed and submit them together in a single document. This constitutes your assessment for this unit. The total word count for the assessment will therefore be 4000 words, plus or minus 10%. The bibliography, list of references and essential appendices (if applicable) are not included in the total word count – but the latter must be kept to a minimum.

You must demonstrate within the submitted evidence (through headings and sub-headings) which learning outcomes and assessment criteria have been cited. We are unable to moderate your work if this is not included.

As this is an Advanced Diploma, it is important that you are able to demonstrate not only good knowledge and understanding of the material associated with each learning outcome, but also the ability to develop an original argument and justify it persuasively with reference to wider reading. Examples of approaches taken in a range of organisations are also an effective means by which to justify your arguments.

The six main criteria that CIPD requires centres to use when marking your assessment are outlined below, but it may be that not all these criteria are present in every question.

(1) focus

(2) depth and breadth of understanding

(3) strategic application and professional advice

(4) research and wider reading

(5) persuasiveness and originality

(6) presentation and language 

Assessment questions

With the recent CIPD Learning at Work survey reporting that digital learning continues to rise, you have been asked to contribute to a focus group arranged by your local CIPD branch to update other people professionals on the use of technology to enhance learning and development within organisations.

In preparation for this you have been asked to respond to the questions below

It is essential that your reading of the published literature is used to inform your responses to all questions.

 Question 1 (AC 1.4)

 With the exception of artificial intelligence, analyse how your organisation, or one with which you are familiar, may best use technology to assess learning needs, and design, deliver and evaluate learning.

 Question 2 (AC 2.4)

 Drawing upon examples, critically discuss how your organisation, or one with which you are familiar, can protect existing or future learning systems and their learning content from external threats.

 Question 3 (AC 3.2)

 Examine and justify the main factors to consider when implementing learning technology within your organisation, or an organisation with which you are familiar.

 Question 4 (AC 4.3)

 Evaluate the role of artificial intelligence within learning and development, including examples of how AI is, or could be, used as a part of the learning and development strategy within your organisation, or an organisation with which you are familiar.

Marking Grid

Learners will receive a Pass, Merit, Distinction or Refer/Fail result at unit level.

Assessors must provide a mark from 1 to 4 for each Learning Outcome in the unit. Assessors should use the generic grade descriptor grid as guidance so they can provide comprehensive feedback that is developmental for learners. Please be aware that not all of the generic grade descriptors will be present in every learning outcome for all the assignments, so assessors must use their discretion in making grading decisions.

To pass the unit assessment learners must achieve a 2 (Pass) or above for each of the learning outcomes.

The overall mark achieved will dictate the Grade the learner receives for the Unit, provided NONE of the learning outcomes have been failed or referred.

Please also note, that mark is to be provided by marker for each learning outcome. Verbal developmental feedback will be provided where the learner has been awarded a mark of 1 to navigate them in resubmission. Summary verbal comments on the assessment overall will be provided at the end of feedback sheet.

Also please note that capping is introduced. Where resubmitted work meets an assessment criterion, it should be given a maximum mark of 2. The overall unit grade for resubmissions should be capped at a ‘Pass’.
