Mapping is the unsung hero of assessment tools

Primarily used to confirm the assessment tool will cover all of the unit of competency requirements, mapping is an excellent way to demonstrate sufficient, valid evidence is being collected for assessment.

And beyond that, mapping documents are used by auditors, validitors, instructional designers, assessment developers, compliance personnel and assessors.

Unfortunately, not all mapping documents are created equal! When the mapping document is not developed or used accurately or appropriately, a host of issues can remain hidden and/or unidentified.

This is a session that shows:

• The compliance paradox linked to assessment mapping
• Where to get the information to create a complete map
• What to include in your document
• How mapping documents are the foundation for good assessment design
• The importance of precision and accuracy when it comes to creating and verifying mapping documents
• Examples of good and not-so-good mapping documents
• How mapping is used by validators and auditors in their processes 
• Why accurate mapping is a skill every assessment developer should be building

Don't let gaps in assessment tools slip through - learn how to properly create and use the mapping document for maximum impact on quality and compliance systems.
