This Learner Assessment Pack is made up of two task: Assessment Tasks Assessment Tasks, including: · Short Answer Questions · Project Work (Practical Assessment) Reasonable Adjustment Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability - November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software on a computer for a person with vision impairment. Why make a reasonable adjustment? We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have: · The same learning opportunities as learners without a disability, and · The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability. Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can include: · Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited course · Modifying the presentation medium · Learner support · Use of assistive/adaptive technologies · Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course · Monitoring the adjustments to ensure learners needs continue to be met Assistive/Adaptive Technologies Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers. IMPORTANT: Reasonable adjustment made for collecting learner assessment evidence must not impact on the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the learner’s competency in writing, allowing the learner to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the competency requirements.
