ICVET Conference 2005


In Search of Evidence–Based Assessment AT Park Island



Aim

In this workshop we demonstrated how mLearning technology could be be used for evidence-based assessment in the workplace. The 'hypothetical' workplace was called AT Park Island. Participants had to complete an activity and photograph the outcome. The picture was then saved and sent (by MMS) to the OTEN's Learning Support site (OLS) to be assessed online by the presenters.

Method

Participants broke into ten groups and were provided with a Hewlett-Packard iPAQ600 Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). The groups were allocated Treasure Island names.

All pirate teams had the identical task to complete, but the task was hidden in a different location within ATP Park for each team. Each pirate team was given their specific treasure map to find the task ... hence the "Treasure Hunt".

When they found the location. they had to perform a simple task. (This was to tie on a piece of elastic to make an eye patch.) When their eye patch was ready, they were instructed to take a photo (using the camera on the PDA ) of a colleague wearing the eye patch in front of the location.

Using the PDA, teams then sent the image file along with instructed text to the OLS as evidence that they had completed the task in the allocated spot. This was moblogged to the site using the email address above. Participants were then able to view the evidence-based assessment on the OLS site.
