1. Introduction
The Landscaping department, together with the Learning Innovation and Development department at Holmesglen, are working on a government-funded program to support digital learning.
This document is an illustrated guide on how to use video technology to be assessed for your course.
You will use a video assessment kit at your workplace to connect ‘live’ with your trainer/assessor at Holmesglen.
2. Setting up for remote video assessment
Overview
This guide explains how to take part in a remote video assessment of your skills in the unit AHCLSC302A Construct landscape features using concrete. Instead of visiting you at your workplace, your trainer/assessor will connect with you via their computer at Holmesglen. You will use the video assessment kit to demonstrate your skills ‘live’ to your trainer/assessor, who can then give you immediate feedback.
Planning for your remote video assessment
It is important that you plan your remote video assessment with both your trainer/assessor and your employer so that you all know what will happen and when.
You will need to talk with your trainer/assessor about:
· what they would like you to demonstrate in the assessment
· scheduling a date and time for the assessment.
You will need to talk with your employer about:
· the assessment date and time, to make sure it suits them too
· setting up any equipment and materials you will need for the assessment
· assisting you with setting up and operating the video assessment kit.
Remember to contact your trainer/assessor if you need to change the date or time of the assessment.
Setting up the video assessment kit
The following diagram shows the setup for the video assessment kit from both the student and trainer/assessor’s perspectives.
