CIPD Level 7OS03 Technology Enhanced Learning Assignment Brief

About This Assignment Brief

Your knowledge and understanding of the material covered in this specialist unit will be assessed through your written answers to the four questions set out below.

You will write four answers of approximately 1000 words to the questions posed and submit them together in a single document. This constitutes your assessment for this unit. The total word count for the assessment will, therefore, be 4000 words, plus or minus 10%. The bibliography, list of references and essential appendices (if applicable) are not included in the total word count, but the latter must be kept to a minimum.

You must demonstrate within the submitted evidence (through headings and sub-headings) which learning outcomes and assessment criteria have been cited. We are unable to moderate your work if this is not included.

As this is an Advanced Diploma, you must be able to demonstrate not only good knowledge and understanding of the material associated with each learning outcome but also the ability to develop an original argument and justify it persuasively concerning wider reading. Examples of approaches taken in a range of organisations are also an effective means by which to justify your arguments.

The six main criteria that CIPD requires centres to use when marking your assessment are outlined below, but it may be that not all these criteria are present in every question.

(1) focus

(2) depth and breadth of understanding

(3) strategic application and professional advice

(4) research and wider reading

(5) persuasiveness and originality

(6) presentation and language 

Assessment questions

With the recent CIPD Learning at Work survey reporting that digital learning continues to rise, you have been asked to contribute to a focus group arranged by your local CIPD branch to update other professionals on the use of technology to enhance learning and development within organisations.

In preparation for this, you have been asked to respond to the questions below

It is essential that your reading of the published literature is used to inform your responses to all questions.

 Question 1 (AC 1.4)

 Except for artificial intelligence, analyse how your organisation, or one with which you are familiar, may best use technology to assess learning needs, and design, deliver and evaluate learning.

 Question 2 (AC 2.4)

 Drawing upon examples, critically discuss how your organisation, or one with which you are familiar, can protect existing or future learning systems and their learning content from external threats.

 Question 3 (AC 3.2)

 Examine and justify the main factors to consider when implementing learning technology within your organisation, or an organisation with which you are familiar.

 Question 4 (AC 4.3)

 Evaluate the role of artificial intelligence within learning and development, including examples of how AI is, or could be, used as a part of the learning and development strategy within your organisation or an organisation with which you are familiar.
