Before you commence your assessment, ensure that you have a good knowledge of the subject,
have thoroughly read your Learner Resource, and clearly understand the assessment requirements
and the expectations of the industry to which the assessment is related.
Assessments are designed to be completed using your industry/organisation, but your Registered
Training Organisation (RTO) may assist you by contextualising the unit to be completed in a
simulated workplace environment.
You will be required to demonstrate knowledge and skills which must be observed directly by your
assessor. Where the observation task may be difficult for the assessor to directly observed, a video
recording of the practical observation task must be submitted as supplementary evidence.
Verification from at least one third-party signatory, and preferably two or more witnesses is required
to confirm your demonstration of these practical knowledge and skills. These witnesses would
usually be your current or recent supervisors, or your assessor.
The practical assessment tasks may be completed using your own workplace, a simulated
environment, or a mix of both, as instructed by your assessor. To contextualise this assessment to
your industry/organisation, you may be asked by your assessor to provide additional information
based on your industry/organisation.
Instructions are given for each task. If you have questions, or unclear how to proceed, consult with
your assessor.
Records of all aspects of the assessment must be kept in your Learner Assessment Pack
The record of assessment is a legal document and must be signed, dated, and a copy stored as
required by your Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability -
November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making
changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be
as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software
on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:
 The same learning opportunities as learners without a disability, and
 The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can
include:
 Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited
course
 Modifying the presentation medium
 Learner support
 Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
 Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course
 Monitoring the adjustments to ensure learners needs continue to be met
Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to
assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It
includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for
grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.
IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting learner assessment evidence must not impact on the
standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For
example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the learner’s competency in writing,
allowing the learner to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment
method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the
competency requirements.

Short Answer Questions

Question 1

Complete the table below about theories and thinking about innovation.
In 50 words or more, describe how each theory and each thinking activity is applied to practice
innovation in the workplace.

Description of How Theory is Applied to Practice

Theory About Innovation
Innovation in the Workplace

i. Systems Theory Practically speaking, this implies that innovations are put
into practice by examining the effects that changes have on
various organizational components. To ensure that all
system components are in line for efficient integration and
optimization, for example, it is necessary to comprehend
how new technology will affect workflows, staff
responsibilities, and customer interactions.

ii. Total Quality Customer satisfaction, staff participation, and continual

Management improvement are the three primary pillars of Total Quality
Management (TQM). Practically speaking, this entails
encouraging feedback, fostering a culture of excellence,
and regularly evaluating and improving procedures.
Methodical evaluation and enhancement of goods,
services, and procedures—with a focus on meeting or
exceeding customer expectations and involving employees
in attempts to resolve issues and enhance quality—drive
innovations.

i. Blue Sky Thinking Blue sky thinking pushes teams to think beyond the
present and take into account futuristic or ground-breaking
ideas that can result in creative breakthroughs. This helps
them come up with daring and unorthodox solutions to
issues, foster creativity, and investigate new possibilities.
Blue sky thinking is unrestricted brainstorming that
promotes original and imaginative thoughts devoid of

pragmatic restraints.

ii. Design Thinking In actuality, this entails developing prototypes to test and
improve concepts, generating a broad range of solutions,
and having a full grasp of user wants and experiences. A
user-centered method of problem-solving, design thinking
places a strong emphasis on creativity, empathy, and
iterative prototyping. By supporting teams in developing
innovative solutions that are practical, realistic, and
appropriate for user demands, this technique guarantees
that innovations are both effective and relevant.
