Developing Quality Clustered Assessment

20 January 2021
ONLINE

Save Flyer Share

January is always a great time to think about how you might start your year!  Kick 2021 off with one of our most popular webinars in 2020  to get you thinking about how you might be able to cluster your assessment (or to ensure your current clustering maintains the rigour of assessment).


Born from the fact that Clustering is one of our most commonly requested topics for webinars, this webinar has been specifically designed to ensure you receive the PD you ask for! Clustering multiple units of competency for assessment is a great way to reflect the requirements of the workplace via the assessment experience and to maximise the opportunity for holistic evidence gathering by the assessor.

It also provides opportunities to maximise the efforts and efficiency of both the student and the assessor, reducing duplication and the time taken to complete units. A well-developed clustered assessment (or group of assessments) can yield quality evidence of a student’s competence.

But what are the risks of clustering units of competency and how do we manage them to ensure that each unit is fully addressed?

Join assessment expert David Garner for this extremely popular webinar designed to outline the benefits and challenges of clustering assessment. Attendees will gain some valuable insights about clustering whilst ensuring that the rigour of assessment is retained and how mapping tools can be used to achieve this.

Here's what attendees from 2020 had to say:
  •  Great content on clustering units! G Eley
  • The presenter had great knowledge of the topic and some good tools to use T Haywood
