註釋
The Australian vocational education and training (VET) system has undergone considerable change over the last decade, and part of that change is the high priority given to flexible learning and delivery. Since the establishment of the National Flexible Delivery Taskforce in 1995, flexible delivery and learning for Australian vocational education and training has been supported by a range of national initiatives. This has culminated in the development and implementation of the Australian Fexible Learning Framework for the national VET system 2000-2004. The framework sets out goals and strategies to enable the VET system to: -embrace new understandings of learning in every aspect of its operation -be accessible at different stages of clients' lives and have the mechanisms to recognise and value people's experiences as knowledge -be delivered through the media appropriate to the client's learning preference -be convenient when balanced against the competing demands in the learner's life -be accessible to clients 'where, when and how' they want it. Existing and current research While there has been considerable research into technological and pedagogical aspects of flexible learning design, very few studies have focussed on assessment in flexible delivery and learning arrangements. In fact, there are very few publications highlighting the issues of assessment for open, distance and flexible learning in the Australian VET sector. The broad purpose of this pilot study is to explore and examine assessment delivered in a flexible mode in the VET sector in order to determine: -the range of assessment methods -the pedagogical and technological reasons for the selection of the assessment methods -the validity of the approaches taken. Contents: -Executive summary -Project background and methodology -What the literature says -Provider survey -Case studies -Self-assessment of practices: Validity and reliability -Conclusions.
