CAE Commons: Next Steps CAE Commons is a 2010 Victorian E-learning Innovationsproject output, developed by CAE with seed funding from the national training system's e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework.
What is a collection? An Equella digital resource collection consists of: • Uploaded items • Data about the items stored as metadata • A way of searching for and retrieving items • A workflow for upload and review of items • A set of permissions for access and management *Text from Learning Resource Collections in the TAFE VC presentation by Ken Gooding (e-works)
The components of a collection • User Access Control • Who has access to the collection • Who has rights to do what • Metadata Schema • Information about an item Metadata is captured on upload Roles and groupscan be used formoderation • Collection definition • Described how a collection will function • Administration • How an item is contributed • How information is gathered • Workflow template • How an item is treated when uploaded • Who has a role in moderating an item *Diagram from Learning Resource Collections in the TAFE VC presentation by Ken Gooding (e-works)
Metadata Schema What we have done:
Metadata Schema What’s needed next: • TEACHING AREA TAXONOMY • Resource Type: individual teaching areas to define most commonly resource types classifications. • Keywords: individual teaching areas to define a consistent vocabulary to describe resources.
Metadata Schema 2. STANDARD PROTOCOLS Establish standard protocols. For example: • no abbreviations except as defined (ie. VCE, IT, VCAL, OET, VCE, LLN, LOTE, OHT ) • no symbols • numbers under ten written except for unit codes • roman numerals for qualification levels (IV etc) • capitalise first letters
Administration What we have done: • Defined basic process for contributing items and searching • Trialled and adapted processes according to feedback • Created separate collection for Yoga Teaching – model could also apply to short courses
Administration What’s needed next: • Moderation: define process and criteria • Which resources are moderated? • When? • Who moderates? • What is the moderation criteria? • Review: define process and criteria • How often are resources reviewed? • Who reviews? • What’s the review criteria? • Do resources have a ‘shelf life’?
User Access Control What we have done: • Collection currently administered by Delivery Innovation project group, e-works consultants and Steering Committee • Currently two levels of access: • Full access: access and editing rights to all collection definitions • Light access: contribute and search access only
UserAccess Control Access Hierarchy (draft) Full access: approves collection and process definition Full access: defines and manages processes, can alter collection definitions Moderate access: Day-to-day processes – manage moderation and review for teaching area, no access to collection definition Light access: can contribute and search but not moderate or review
Workflow template (draft) Draft • Workflow template Assessment tasks Standard resources Moderation Publish Delete Defined time period Review Light access (teachers) Archive Moderate/Full access (team leaders, administrators)
E-Skills Matrix What we have done: • Created a four level E-Skills Matrix based on the GOTafe model • Skill levels are: • 100% face-to-face classroom delivery. Rare or occasional use of technology. • 100% face-to-face classroom delivery. Regular use of technology. • Blended delivery – 75% face-to-face classroom delivery, 25% online delivery. • Blended delivery – 50% face-to-face classroom delivery, 50% online delivery. • 100% of teachers surveyed as part of the CAE Commons trials identified themselves as Level 2.
E-Skills Matrix Future possibilities: • Seek funding for development • Further develop and trial Skill level definitions • Roll out E-skills Matrix as part of induction pack and online • Incorporate E-skills definitions into Position Descriptions • Identify E-Skills gap areas and develop face-to-face and online PDs
