UIL launches online course on implementing e-PASS
To advance the assessment of literacy and numeracy skills, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) is launching a self-learning online course on the Implementation of the e-PASS assessment. The everyday-life Practices and Skills Survey (e-PASS) is a simple, cost-effective, flexible and practical method for assessing the literacy and numeracy of individuals aged 15 and older.
To help UNESCO Member States carry out large-scale assessment, UIL has designed a self-directed online e-PASS implementation course, which guides countries through the different stages of implementation. The course targets stakeholders involved in the e-PASS implementation process. It is offered in English and comprises a total of nine sessions in four modules.
The course is designed to provide participants with general knowledge on how to implement a large-scale assessment, as well as the skills to plan and design the implementation of e-PASS in a specific country context.
By the end of the course, participants are expected to be able to:
- Describe the key concepts and rationale of a large-scale assessment like e-PASS.
- Identify and explain how e-PASS can be implemented in a specific context.
- Develop a national implementation plan.
- Prepare the data gathered for analysis and various ways of analysing the e-PASS data.
The training takes place online with various learning instruments, including videos, reading resources and interactive discussion forums. Participants will benefit from an applied and practice-oriented learning approach.
The course is free of charge and offered in English.
Accessibility: The course will be freely accessible until 31 December 2023
Duration: Approximately 25 learning hours
Language: English
