Webinar: Context: What exactly is it?

Recorded on 30/10/2019, this brand new webinar got to the bottom of context of assessment and explored terminology, definitions and application of context in VET.

Topic overview:

The nuances around context of the assessment and assessment contextualisation can be a little confusing at times!

Based on feedback from Velg Training members who have requested this topic, this webinar was designed to unpack what it means to ensure that assessment instruments include appropriate context.

It explored the different terminology and definitions relating to the context and conditions of assessment, contextualisation of products vs the activity being assessed and the different contexts that a student may need to demonstrate consistent performance in, to ensure transferability of skills.

Join Carol Hunter to get to the bottom of it all and demystify ‘context’!
