By working closing with industry and VET experts, we’ve developed a comprehensive set of resources, that will guide and support best-practice delivery of these courses.
Designed with the student in mind, they are written to maximise student engagement while ensuring your training and assessment covers everything you need to cover.
Simulated Workplaces
Students learn with our embedded online early learning centre, school and out of school hours care centre.
Learn more
Our resources are linked to our simulated online workplace environments. Students get access to life-like policies, procedures, profiles and workplace documents throughout their learning. This helps to ensure your students graduate job-ready and helps you simulate real workplace requirements where required.
Holistically Designed
Resources are holistically designed, saving you time and money and saving your students from over delivery and over assessment.
Learn more
When we design our resources, they are designed holistically within the unit, and often we cluster units together to save on repetition between common themes and topics. This means you don’t need to cover the same topics over and over again in your delivery and it helps reduce the assessment load on you and your students. This helps save you time and money.
Interactive eLearning
You can choose the option of adding on our interactive eLearning modules that can be used in our LMS or yours.
Learn more
Along with our print-ready resources, our learner guides are also available as interactive eLearning materials that can be imported into any SCORM compliant Learning Management System.
If you don’t have an LMS, choose to provide training and assessment through our turnkey solution – EduworksLMS.
Package options include:
Comprehensive Learner Guides
eLearning Materials
Assessment Tools
Session Plans & PowerPoint Slides
LLN Kits
RPL Kits
Comprehensive Learner Guides
Our Learner Guides provide learning content that cover the unit of competency or cluster of units holistically. That means we don’t write element by element; we look at the unit or cluster as a whole and decide how to present the information in the most logical order for the student. Our Learner Guides include the ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ as well as examples in workplace application scenarios.
Our Learner Guides include:
- Learning activities, case studies and end-of chapter review questions to aid independent study, class activities and homework
- QR codes so you can easily watch videos on your own device and quickly look up references and links
- Visually engaging graphics and visuals to support the text and aid learning
- Mapping showing how content links to the unit/s of competency
Eduworks Resources’ Learner Guides have been developed with current best practices in learning methodology in mind and in close consultation with industry and subject matter experts.
Learner Guides are provided to you as a locked PDF to print yourself, or you can access them as interactive eLearning SCORM files that you can import into your your own learning management system (see eLearning Materials) or speak to us about using EduworksLMS.
eLearning Materials
Our eLearning Materials are complete online learning resources that are interactive, engaging and user friendly. They are SCORM compliant and can be imported into any learning management system that can handle SCORM objects. For each unit or cluster, we will provide you with a number of learning objects that you can import into your LMS course, or if you don’t have an LMS, you can access our eLearning Materials through EduworksLMS.
Our eLearning resources include videos, quizzes and interactivity, scenarios, questions, and additional resources to keep students constantly engaged.
They work alongside our assessment tools, or you can use your own if you prefer. If using our assessment tools, you can purchase our LMS-ready assessment tools that can be easily imported if you have Canvas, Moodle or Matrix as your LMS.
Assessment Tools
All our RTO assessment tools are developed by our expert instructional design team in close consultation with subject matter experts to ensure they are current with today’s assessment standards and current industry and workplace expectations.
Eduworks Resources has been developing assessment resources since 2010 and has grown to have one of the best reputations in the industry for its standard of assessment design and quality. All our assessment tools go through a rigorous quality review process in the design phase before they are released to the public.
For each unit or cluster, you will receive the following in an Assessment Kit:
Marking Guide
The Marking Guide is the key document for the assessor and includes a copy of each task provided to the student along with detailed instructions for the assessor for each task as well as decision-making rules, benchmark answers and/or sample answers as required. Mapping of the assessment tasks against the full unit of competency is also included in the Marking Guide for each unit or cluster.
Assessment Record Tool
The Assessment Record Tool is the document that the assessor uses to record the assessment decisions for each student and includes checklists of observable criteria for each task as well as observation checklists where required. It also includes an overall task result summary sheet to track results for each task. This document helps the assessor and RTO ensure that the requirements of each task have been met.
Student Assessment Booklet
The Student Assessment Booklet is the document for the student that provides the instructions to the student about the requirements of their assessment for the unit or cluster. It includes an overall Assessment Plan, Assessment Task Cover Sheets for each task, as well as detailed instructions for each task.
Supporting Documents
Included with all assessment tools, are any supporting documents and templates required to ensure that the student is assessed in a realistic workplace environment. For example, if a task requires that the student has access to a certain policy, we will provide a copy of that policy unless we think it’s important, and appropriate for the context, that it is accessed from the student’s workplace.
Supporting templates and documents are provided to the student to fill out or use as guidance when completing their assessments. These might include policies, procedures, forms, checklists, or other documentation.
Session Plans & PowerPoint Slides
Our sets of Session Plans and PowerPoints are designed to make preparing for delivery a breeze and ensure you have a set of engaging resources that are consistently used by your trainers across your RTO.
For each unit or cluster, you will receive:
Session Plans
Eduworks Resources’ session plans are a set of pre-prepared session plans provided in Microsoft Word that you can customise to suit your own delivery format. We provide between 4-6 sessions per unit depending on the size of the unit. Each session plan includes the topics to be covered based on the content of the unit, group activities, group discussions, resources required, slide references, mapping and more. To customise the session plans, add your own timing to each section, divide sessions or add them together so they suit your delivery structure and you’ll be ready to go.
PowerPoint Slides
Our PowerPoint slides are a set of visually appealing PowerPoint slides that include images, graphs, charts, animations and more to bring your sessions to life and ensure your students are not bored by your presentations. Corresponding with the session plans and removing a large amount of your session preparation time, your trainers will be delivering professionally presented, consistent sessions if you have the Eduworks PowerPoint slides. Not only offering value for money but meaning that now your trainers can spend more time in the classroom rather than worrying about the next session they need to prepare.
LLN Kits
Our Language Literacy and Numeracy Kits are written for each qualification to assess the LLN needs of your students prior to or upon entry into your courses. Eduworks Resources’ LLN kits have been written based on the specific LLN needs of the course by unpacking the language, literacy and numeracy needs within the units of competency in the course. The LLN test includes industry-specific questions and is aligned to the Australian Core Skills Framework. Guidance is provided to the assessor on unpacking the answers to help the assessor identify the level of the student’s answer.
For each LLN Kit, you will receive the following:
Quick Reference Guide to the ACSF
This is a generic guide that can be used for all of our LLN kits. It is a quick reference guide the assessor can use when assessing the LLN tests rather than needing to have the full copy of the ACSF on hand.
LLN Test
This is the LLN test to be completed by the student which is a set of questions that has been specifically designed for the qualification you purchase the LLN Kit for. The questions in the test have been designed based on the LLN requirements in the units of competency in the course.
LLN Marking Guide
The LLN Marking Guide is a guide to the assessor on marking the LLN test. It provides a guide to the assessor on interpreting the answers provided by the student and advises how the assessor can determine the LLN levels of the student based on the answers provided.
RPL Kits
Our RPL Kits are designed to guide assessors and candidates through the Recognition of Prior Learning process while ensuring your RTO is covering the entire unit of competency when you assess by RPL.
The Eduworks Resources’ RPL model is based on one that is guided and supported, and relies on the candidate demonstrating competence through evidence a range of structured evidence tasks, answering questions from their assessor, answering written questions, providing third-party reports, and where applicable, assessing their practical skills in the workplace.
Our RPL kits have been developed to provide a turn-key solution for providing Recognition of Prior Learning within your RTO. Unlike other RPL kits you might find on the market, Eduworks Resources’ RPL kits are not a copy of the unit.
In these RPL kits, the unit of competency has been unpacked and RPL evidence the candidate needs to provide is clearly outlined. Also included is a clear outline of the RPL tasks the candidate needs to complete.
Also included is comprehensive guide to RPL candidates on the RPL process, as well as guidance to assessors on the decision-making process.
For each unit of competency, or cluster, you will receive:
RPL Candidate Documents
Includes the documents required by the candidate to go through the RPL process. This includes a self-assessment tool to help them decide if RPL is suitable, structured evidence tasks and instructions on how to collect suitable evidence.
