Hello again,
For your amusement, edification, and my sanity I am asking that
you have a look at the "Statements" and "Glossary" items and common
freely and openly as to what they mean to YOU!
If you can identify from whence the terms come, ie which
discipline, I would be most grateful.
So here we go again
Peter
As soon as we have a coherent list I will post it as an outcome
of this project.

up of unit standards, which are tasks aimed at specific knowledge
or skills. It is
recognised by a government organisation, such as NZQA and are
recognised New Zealand wide, and sometimes
world-wide.

different levels – beginning at Level 1 and go up to Level 8
(University Level).
They also cover areas such as the Dairy Industry, Science and
Fashion etc.

– if a participants does not meet the criteria on the first

Standard?
"FONT-SIZE: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"xml:lang="EN-NZ">Unit standards describe a certain knowledge or
skill that is required for a particular aspect of a
job. A unit standard
earns a certain number of points or credits that go towards a
National Certificate.
They can be assessed on the job, in a classroom situation, or
both. Unit standards
may fit into many different National Certificates and can be
credited to all of these. Unit standards have been
developed by industry experts so they deal with the actual skills
you need at work.

the user. They are not meant to be assessment experiences or
revision experiences or drill and practice experiences. They are
meant to contribute to the understanding of concepts and processes
and the development of skills. This does not mean that assessment,
revision or drill and practice cannot be exhibited through
interaction with the learning objects but this is not the primary
focus. At the most granular level a learning object must have
content integrity and able to be used independently for learning.
They must also be developed with potential repurposing and
recontextualisation in mind, so that they may be combined into
learning sequences developed by a teacher within a specific
learning environment for specific learning needs.
