Website Quality Assurance

Teaching and learning resources accepted for publication on the Provider Toolkit website will be quality controlled by a workplace LLN specialist and should normally meet the following criteria:

Resources…

• are the original work of the person submitting the resource and do not infringe copyright laws
• provide guidance on how they can be used and how learning can be measured
• use content that is accurate, up-to-date and relevant to both the learners’ and organisational needs
• have learning objectives that are mapped to one or more of the Adult Core Curricula
• achieve impact e.g. through novelty, variety, attractive presentation, appealing content
• expose learners to language, literacy and/or numeracy in authentic use
• provide learners with opportunities to implement their learning
• take into account different learning styles
• take into account that learners have different backgrounds, motivations for and attitudes towards learning
• help develop confidence in learners by using existing skills and by not over-simplifying
• help the learner feel at ease i.e. do not always test, and do not signal cultural, intellectual or linguistic superiority
• require and facilitate learner self-investment e.g. by topic control
• take into account that the positive effects of instruction can be delayed
