    Guide for Developing Assessment Tools
    Gillis, S ; BATEMAN, A ; Clayton, B (TVET Australia, 2009)
    This Guide is a practical resource material for assessors and assessor trainers seeking technical guidance on how to develop and/or review assessment tools. The Guide is not intended to be mandatory, exhaustive or definitive but instead it is intended to be aspirational and educative in nature. There are three sections to this Guide. Section 1 explains what an assessment tool is, including its essential components. Section 2 identifies a number of ideal characteristics of an assessment tool and provides four examples of how each of these characteristics can be built into the design for four methods of assessment: observation, interview, portfolio and product-based assessments. Section 3 provides an overview of three quality assurance processes (i.e. panelling, piloting and trialling) that could be undertaken prior to implementing a new assessment tool.

    Implementation Guide: Validation and Moderation 2009
    Gillis, S ; BATEMAN, A ; Clayton, B (TVET Australia, 2009)
    This Guide aims to support the continuous improvement processes implied within Element 1.1 and 1.5 of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Essential Standards for Registration. The Implementation Guide needs to be read in conjunction with the Code of Professional Practice: Validation and Moderation. There are two sections to the Guide. Section 1 of the Guide provides a framework for designing and/or reviewing assessment tools. Section 2 provides guidance on establishing consensus approaches to moderation and/or validation at both the systemic and operational levels. The Implementation Guide also includes an appendix containing exemplar templates for conducting validation and moderation using a consensus approach. Finally, as both the Guide and Code refer to a number of technical assessment concepts, a Glossary of Terms has been included.

    Gillis, S ; BATEMAN, A ; Clayton, B (National Quality Council, 2009)
    The Code of Professional Practice contains a set of high level principles as general guidance on how to conduct assessment validation and moderation within a vocational education and training (VET) setting. This Code firstly explains the rationale behind its development. Secondly it explains the technical terms validation and moderation and provides a clear distinction between the two terms. It also contains a set of principles that should underpin assessment validation and moderation in the VET sector.
