2. Good practice in assessing ITQ: lessons learned from the A1 pilot JGA/Tcat |
Since January we have been working with e-skills UK in piloting an online A1 course to train ITQ assessors. Throughout the course we have used a variety of means of e-assessment for the assessor-candidates, e.g. digital video clips for observation, audio files to record professional discussions and an online electronic portfolio for storing evidence. In this workshop we hope to demonstrate how the lessons we have learned in relation to electronic assessment of the A1 can be applied to ITQ assessment. In other words we will show how the appropriate use of technology can contribute to the e-skills UK vision of “simplified and streamlined assessment without loss of quality”. Presentation |

4. Using the ICT Skill for Life as a bridge to the ITQ John Hammond (CTAD) and Peter Robinson (KPMG) |
This session will describe the ICT Skill for Life (SfL) developments and the underlying concepts of selection, judgement and independent purposeful use. It will explore the commonalities and differences between the ICT SfL and the ITQ. It will show how learners have successfully used the SfL as a bridge to the ITQ. It will explore the need for professional development for ICT SfL teachers and how the case for a subject-specific ICT SfL pedagogy fits alongside the need for development of ICT skills. Finally we will relate all of this to the development of ICT as a Functional Skill. |
