#1439 Clean up of Learning Delivery (ETDL) - level alignment and separation from Teaching (TEAC) change request accepted

Update to Learning Delivery (ETDL) to increase alignment to training activities and provide separation from the activity of teaching. Review and update of level descriptions for level alignment. Addition of level 2 for those who actively assist in learning delivery.

Removed "objective assessment  from lv4 – this be covered by LEDA. Included instead “observes and evaluates” for the purposes of meeting the learning objectives / enhancing learner experience.

Note: Customising/tailoring of material and development of case studies / examples has been left in the skill description – this is separate from TMCR which is the creation of the learning materials and reflects a healthy interaction between delivery and development , with delivery tailoring the supporting materials (like case studies and examples) within parameters to suit their needs but not rewriting the learning materials (and of course these skills could well both be included in a role profile or in an individual's profile).

Proposed skill and level descriptions below.

Learning Delivery

(modified)

Developing skills and capability, and changing behaviours, using a range of techniques, resources and media.

Guidance notes

(new)

Learning delivery uses a range of techniques, resources and media including - but not limited to face-to-face learning, e-learning, on-line virtual environments, field-work and projects, self-assessment, peer-assisted learning, simulation. 

Typically a blend of techniques will be used which can incorporate both formal and informal learning activities.

Learning delivery will include knowledge transfer activities where this supports the goals of the training, and includes promoting professional attitudes in order to facilitate learning and development.
