Slide 3:ICVET Conference 2005

Interactive Workshop~ 50 mins ��Aim: In this workshop we will demonstrate how mLearning technology can be used for evidence-based assessment in the workplace. The �hypothetical� workplace is called AT Park Island. Participants will complete an activity and photograph the outcome. The picture will then be saved and sent (by MMS) to the OTENs Learning Support site (OLS) to be assessed online by the presenters. OTEN Teaching & Learning Development Unit

Slide 4:Theme: Treasure Hunt Treasure Hunt AT Park Island is a location based mobile phone game that uses internet enabled handhelds courtesy of Hewlett-Packard iPAQ.1600 OTEN have hidden an imaginary treasure (in the form of an activity) somewhere in AT Park!... You must follow the clues on the treasure map provided and find the hidden activity. Further clues will be provided if needed by accessing your iPAQ Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

Slide 6:ICVET Conference 2005In Search of Evidence-Based Assessment

Innovation in workplace learning: Each team will have the SAME activity �.but the difference is they will be hunting for different spots to find that activity. Clues will be provided to assist each group in finding the hidden location. The clue will has been preloaded into the palm held device under <HP Image> icon titled <ICVET> . At any time assistance can be given by SMS to the presenters. You may also SMS each other for collaborative assistance. Once the location has been found you will find a secret envelope which will give you instructions to perform a simple competency based skill which is to make an eye patch. This will now be demonstrated by the presenters. OTEN Teaching & Learning Development Unit

Slide 7:ICVET Conference 2005In Search of Evidence-Based Assessment

When the activity has been completed one participant will take a photograph of another participant wearing the eye patch as previously shown in the demo (use your notes for assistance to operate the PDA camera). Use the PDA to send that image to the OTEN learning Support Site (OLS) on the email provided. A Demo will be given. Participants are to return to the Workshop after 20 minutes. The presenters will access the OLS to view the assignment submitted by each group as evidence of completing the assessment in the workplace. OTEN Teaching & Learning Development Unit

Slide 21:ICVET Conference 2005

(evidence-based assessment) �We�ve got to be careful that when we test them�they are competent at doing the job, not playing the game.� (Caryl Oliver Flexible Learning Leader) SMH 13/9/200 William Angliss Institute of TAFE Melbourne bought 80 PDA�s which have cameras that could connect to other devices using bluetooth wireless systems. The idea is that teachers assign the devices and collect them at the end of each pilot project. It is expected that up to 14,000 students may use their own PDA�s or mobile phones to get course material�.here students choose their preferred device ...which they likely already own!.
