Webinar: LLN Testing - Keeping it simple and getting it right

Recorded on 24/10/2019 as part of National VET PD Week, this webinar explored LLN testing and how the ACSF provides a structure for the identification of LLN needs, and to conextualise learning and assessment materials to ensure underpinning competencies are demonstrated.

Topic overview:

Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) testing underpins all vocational education and training delivery and assessment, and yet is often a badly implemented aspect of training provision.

This webinar highlighted how the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) provides a contemporary structure for the identification of LLN needs and how it can be used as a framework for contextualising learning and assessment materials to ensure underpinning competencies are demonstrated
