It is great to have Anil back with us raising this again. Thanks Anil. I very much like the idea of the moderated and not-yet moderated assessment standard. And Peter's link to the Quality is a good one I think, esspecially the first step of using categories.
I wonder if we could review one of Otago Polytechnic's development models? Where we start a new page with a Qualifications Standard and then develop a subpage for a library of resources list, and another subpage for a list of lesson plans, learning and assessment activities. If that was seen as a good development model for the TQF to encourage, I think we would see more and more teachers out there developing new course pages that simply draw on the many standard pages that are built...
