Learning design and development TMCR

The specification, design, creation, packaging and maintenance of materials and resources for use in learning and development in the workplace or in compulsory, further or higher education. Typically involves the assimilation of information from existing sources, selection and re-presentation in a form suitable to the intended purpose and audience. Includes instructional design, content development, configuration and testing of learning environments, and use of appropriate current technologies such as audio, video, simulation and assessment. May include third party accreditation.

Levels

Defined at these levels: 4 5 6

Learning design and development: Levels 1-3

This skill is not typically observed when working at these levels of responsibility.

Learning design and development: Level 4

Designs, creates, develops, customises and maintains learning materials and resources to deliver agreed outcomes, and meet accreditation requirements if appropriate. Assists with design, configuration and testing of learning environments, including creation of simulated data, and replication of external systems, interfaces and assessment systems.

Learning design and development: Level 5

Specifies the content and structure of learning and development materials. Takes responsibility for design, creation, packaging and maintenance and manages development to deliver agreed outcomes. Where required, designs, configures and tests learning environments, including population of simulated databases, and replication of external systems, interfaces, and assessment systems. Secures external accreditations as appropriate.

Learning design and development: Level 6

The specification of solutions for use in learning and development programs in the workplace or in compulsory, further or higher education. Commissions the development of learning materials, allocates resources to learning teams, defines learning outcomes. Leads learning programs, recommends and specifies learning interventions for design, development and deployment according to learning outcomes.
