Section: Module 6: Alignment, Moderation and Audit | Micro Certificate: Assessing and Auditing the Collaboration Competency (Intermediate)

Module 6 Banner

Synopsis
An auditor reads the alignment table, then asks to see the marked scripts. This module makes that second request survivable. It traces the chain from the Sustainable Development Goal to a single student’s script, sets out the semester schedule and moderation steps, and names the five ways a Collaboration claim fails at audit.

Learning outcome
At the end of this module, you will be able to audit your own Collaboration design against the five ways an alignment claim fails, and plan its moderation.

If an auditor asked tomorrow to see evidence that one named student in your course collaborated, which document would you hand over? Would it show that student, or the student’s group?

Sinergi Workbench

In Align and audit, check your design against the five failures and the audit checklist.
In Self-checks, complete Check 3: diagnose six real assignments and name the smallest fix for each. Then apply the same two questions to your own assignment.
In My plan, work through the eight steps. The summary at the end writes your course-outline paragraph. Print it, or use Copy as text to keep your full plan.
Write the name of the colleague who will second-mark.

Module 6 – Alignment, Moderation and Audit Quiz

The semester schedule that the moderation steps assume:

Suggested week	What you do
Before semester	Publish the rubric in the course outline, descriptors already adapted
Week 1	Tell students the competency in plain language, and that a group event will produce an individual mark
Week 4	Release the brief with the rubric; record the date
Week 5	Practice activity with self-assessment and one-sentence feedback; no mark
Week 9	Assessed activity: same rubric, different scenario
Week 11	Individual submission
Weeks 12–13	Mark, then second-mark a 10% sample and every borderline case

Only the course learning outcome is directly assessed; the SDG and the programme outcome are claims traced through it to a named criterion and a marked script. The commonest failure is a competency named in the syllabus but required by no assignment. Claim one primary SDG, publish the rubric before submission, calibrate two markers on the same scripts, and second-mark a sample. A plan with no named second marker is an intention, not a plan.
