Assessment Task:

Develop Learning Strategies for a Workplace

Description:

Peter Senge (1994) defined the learning organisations as, "organisations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning how to learn together".

For such learning to take place organisations need to establish a workplace which is conducive to learning and encourage a culture of collaboration and shared learning at all levels.

In this assessment task, you will assume the role of a training office in a growing organisation that has recognised the need to create a learning culture and facilitate development opportunities to its employees. You may use you current or past workplace as a model to create a real-life context. Alternatively, you may choose a sample organisation for the task.

You task would be to develop strategies to ensure that learning opportunities across the organisation are identified and addressed through a systematic learning program. Work completed in this assessment task will provide inputs into following tasks in this unit and the students are advised to retain copies of their works for reference.

In order to develop strategies, you will need to first develop organisational learning goals and objectives. In this assessment task, you will;

Develop organisational learning goals and objectives (SMART)
Develop strategies to realise the objectives
Develop a policy and a procedure that sets the guidelines for implementing the strategies (Note: ensure that your policy and procedure include options for professional development and training of staff)
Explain how the strategies will help achieve organisational learning goals and objectives and contribute to the development of appropriate workplace knowledge, skills and attitudes

Ideally, you will complete this assessment task concurrently with learning sessions where you will develop the required knowledge and skills to complete this task.

Assessment schedule can be adjusted by the trainers/assessors to align with class room learning and to allow the student to practice prior to undertaking this task.
