Webinar Recording: Clustering with Purpose: Designing holistic assessment that reduces duplication

Topic

Clustering units was a great way to streamline assessment and reduce duplication, but it did not always achieve the intended result. When units were clustered without a clear strategy, assessment could often become more complex for the assessor and the learner, rather than less.

This session looked at practical ways to analyse units to identify overlapping skills and knowledge, ensuring that assessment remained efficient without losing its quality. We explored how to create a holistic assessment plan that reduced unnecessary repetition while staying true to the standards of each training product.

What was covered in the session:

• The 'Why' and 'When' of clustering – finding the natural links between units that make sense for the student and the workplace
• The risks of "forced" clustering – what happens when we bundle units that don't share common tasks or skills
• Unpacking for overlap – a simple approach to looking at multiple units to identify where requirements meet
• Building a holistic assessment – tips on how to turn several units into one smooth, realistic workplace activity
• Handling repeated items – smart ways to capture evidence once when the same requirements show up in different units, even if they aren't performed together in the real world
• Maintaining integrity – ensuring your assessment records clearly show how each individual unit requirement has been met within the cluster
