Assessment

• Innovation in workplace learning
• Each team will have the SAME activity .but the
  difference is they will be hunting for different
  spots to find that activity.
• Clues will be provided to assist each group in
  finding the hidden location.
• The clue will has been preloaded into the palm
  held device under icon titled

• At any time assistance can be given by SMS to the
  presenters. You may also SMS each other for
  collaborative assistance.

When the activity has been completed one
participant will take a photograph of another
participant wearing the eye patch as previously
shown in the demo (use your notes for assistance
to operate the PDA camera). Use the PDA to send
that image to the OTEN learning Support Site
(OLS) on the email provided. A Demo will be
given. Participants are to return to the

• (evidence-based assessment)

Weve got to be careful that when we test
themthey are competent at doing the job, not
playing the game. (Caryl Oliver Flexible
Learning Leader) SMH 13/9/200 William Angliss
Institute of TAFE Melbourne bought 80 PDAs which
have cameras that could connect to other devices
using bluetooth wireless systems. The idea is
that teachers assign the devices and collect them
at the end of each pilot project. It is expected
that up to 14,000 students may use their own
PDAs or mobile phones to get course
material.here students choose their preferred
device ...which they likely already own!.
