Industry Partnered Feasibility Analysis

Work-related, Group, Sequence

Industry Partnered Feasibility Analysis

This is a live industry assessment that required students to work on a feasibility analysis for an innovation for a Tourism or Hospitality organisation. Students worked in self assigned teams of four to develop a 4000 word report that provided our industry partners with a market analysis, an analysis of the Political, Economic, Social and Technological (PEST) environments and recommendations as to how best develop the innovation and take it to market. This WIL industry partnered assessment resulted in the development of student / industry relationships as students were encouraged to engage with their allocated industry partner to guide the focus of their reports.

Objective Assessment of Complex Skills Using OSPE Examinations

In VETS3070, we use multiple Objective Structured Practical Examinations (OSPEs) to evaluate student procedural skills. The first OSPE assesses clinical examination skills and the second OSPE examines surgical and anesthesia skills. In both examinations, complex procedures which are considered impossible to assess without significant subjectivity were dissected into discrete components that could be objectively assessed.
