Development of Combined ASPs Marian Forgan, External Verifier Paula White, External Verifier
Purpose • Possibility of integrating unit outcomes across Units has long been discussed • Opportunity available to provide an example of how a Combined ASP might look • Time to consider potential benefits and issues
Potential Benefits • More time to learn knowledge/skills • Reduced assessment time for the candidates • Links between Units made more explicit – candidates better able to see the Course as a whole
Example – ICT in Business and Presentation Skills • Task 1 – Presentation Skills Outcome 1 – analysing different events and ways of presenting • Task 2 – ICT in Business Outcomes , 2 and 5 and Presentation Skills Outcome 2 • Task 3 – Presenting Skills Outcome 3 • Task 4 – ICT in Business Outcomes 3 and 4 • Checklists – Task based; cover ALL outcomes
Cautions • Timetable planning to ensure appropriate links within Semesters • Skills of lecturers involved • Partial completion of evidence • Reassessment requiring a fresh start
Final thoughts … • This is ONE example based on 2 mandatory Units, other possibilities exist for Centres if you take into account the Optional Units. • Where combining Units with Options, it is likely that Centres will need to devise their own Combined ASPs but this is a good example to use as part of that process
