The facilities provided here are to support the process of presenting evidence and providing certification. We hope to make life easier for our assessors, reducing costs and streamlining bureaucracy while supporting the involvement of the candidate in the assessment and learning processes. If you have a better way of providing evidence, or evidence exists already in a different format we will accept it. Contact your Account Manager. [1]
Make sure that your learners are registered in the Markbook for the units you are assessing by saving the group list in the Markbook assessment page for each unit. There is more detail about this here. [11]
Make sure that learners have an account on the learning site and that they can list their units and the assessment criteria using the "My Units" Tab. Make sure that you have an account on both sites and that your e-mail address is the same in each of your accounts. If you set up your account on the Learning Site before you had an account on the Markbook site remember to save your profile page by clicking "My Account" in the right block then click the edit tab, then profile and then the save button. There is a detailed explanation of the process for setting up accounts here. [11] There are videos showing how the evidence gathering works linked to the home page. You can contact us and we can talk you through any other problems.
At QCF Entry level and EQF level 1, learners will need considerable help in using the evidence system. At QCF level 1 and EQF level 2 they will still need help and guidance but should be progressing to becoming self-sufficient in at least some aspects. At QCF level 2 and EQF level 3 learners should be capable of mostly being self-sufficient as long as they have had practice and time to learn the systems. At higher levels, learners should be largely self-sufficient using the guidance and support systems here and in general documentation. This should be a broad indicator of the level of the learner that will complement the evidence they provide in particular subjects or occupational areas.
Providing evidence on-line
The aim should be to get all learners to progress to be able to collate and present their evidence on-line, largely self-sufficiently. This will add value to subject knowledge because they will understand how to support their own learning using technologies that are free or low cost. It will also free up teacher time to enable more time to be spent helping individuals and less time on tedious administration and marking.
