Purpose – Specialists on industrial safety (Sifas) are appointed by companies due to German occupational safety act (ASiG) as safety advisors, to analyse the work environments and the work procedures. Their principal task is to inspect workplaces for adherence to regulations on health, safety and environment, and design actions to prevent from disease or injury of workers and environmental damages. Due to variety of settings in which work safety specialists are involved, they are obliged to continuous further education and permanent adoption to changing circumstances of occupational context. To do so, Sifa’s need access to tools which provide the following three key features: - possibility to share knowledge with experienced specialists on industrial safety (Sifa-Community), - ability to promptly recognize critical topics in the field of their activities (Trend- Monitoring), - opportunity to create track of records of further education on current topics, including the validation and certification of work-related informal learning (Sifa-Portfolio). Sifa-Portfolio and Trend-Monitoring are based on Sifa-Community, an exchange platform (www.sifa-community.de) with currently 5.000 members established in the context of a longitudinal study on Sifas. This paper will focuses on the concept of Sifa-Portfolio that was developed as a prototype of further education application based on the concept of EPortfolios. It allows Sifa’s to share their knowledge, recognize critical topics and create track of records of their informal further education to showcase their competencies and eventually receive certification. Design/methodology/approach – In the paper authors present the approach of Sifa- Portfolio - an application for further education, based on Sifa long-term study (Sifa- Langzeitstudie), data mining (text mining), and user centred design. It starts with the description of results of an online study and specific requirements that have to be considered when designing applications for specialists on industrial safety. It then presents the trend monitor based on Sifa-Community posts, which provides up to date information about most important topics that are being discussed within the community. It finally introduces Sifa-Portfolio, a high fidelity prototype of an expansion module for Sifa-Community. Originality/value – Until now, there are no dedicated solutions for further education of professional group of Sifas, which comply to the specific requirements of this group and which enable to react promptly to changing demands of the safety issues in dynamicly growing companies. Practical implications – The presented approach delivers a concept of a softwaremodule that could be implemented into Sifa-Community Forum. Due to evaluation with users, we could identify requirements and specifications of Sifa-Portfolio. Furthermore this concept can be transferred to variety of professional-groups, which are working in dynamic professions to support their work-related informal further education.

Verschiedene Spezifika der Immobilienverwaltungsbranche erfordern inhaltlich passgenaue und finanziell tragfähige Lösungen für die Aus- und Weiterbildung. Zum einen ist sie durch eine sehr kleinteilige Struktur mit überwiegend kleinen (bis 999 Verwaltungseinheiten; VE; 50,7 %) und mittelgroßen Unternehmen (bis 2.999 VE; 31 %) geprägt (DDIV, 2018). Zum anderen beschäftigt das Segment auf allen Tätigkeitsebenen (z. B. Makler oder Mitarbeiter von Hausverwaltungen) eine hohe Anzahl von Quereinsteigern ohne einschlägigen Berufsabschluss. Dies führt in Verbindung mit einer starken Mitarbeiterfluktuation und stetigen gesetzlichen Regulierungen bzw. Neuerungen zu einem hohen Aus- und Weiterbildungsbedarf. Vor allem Kleinst- und Kleinunternehmen (KKU) stellt die teils mehrtägige Freistellung von Mitarbeitenden für Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen jedoch vor organisatorische und finanzielle Herausforderungen (Seyda & Werner, 2014; Weiß, 2018). Das Projekt ‚Digitale Bildungsangebote in der der Immobilienwirtschaft mittels Virtual Reality (DOmIcILE-VR)‘ reagiert auf diese Branchenspezifika mit einem innovativen, digitalen Lernangebot. Um eine möglichst arbeitsplatznahe Durchführung der Weiterbildungsmaßnahme zu ermöglichen und dadurch (längere) Ausfallzeiten der Mitarbeitenden zu minimieren, erscheint der Einsatz von portablen Virtual-Reality (VR)-Technologien im Rahmen eines Distance Learning-Szenarios hier zielführend. VR-Technologien spielen in der Immobilienwirtschaft schon jetzt eine wichtige Rolle (Hutzschenreuter & Burger-Ringer, 2018). Sie dienen aber bislang in erster Linie der Vermarktung von Objekten. Vor dem Hintergrund eines prognostizierten Bedeutungszuwachses von VR-Szenarien für die berufliche Aus- und Weiterbildung (mmb Institut, 2019; Schmid, Goertz, & Behrens, 2017) und ihrer weitreichenden Potentiale unternimmt das vorliegende Projekt den Versuch, diese auch in ein Aus- und Weiterbildungsangebot für die Immobilienverwaltung zu integrieren.

Thesis (M. Ed. (Didatics)) / Assessment methods in Business Studies in the FET phase have had to change as a result of the implementation of OBE and the NSC in South Africa. In order to analyse how this has affected the education of learners, a case study, based on the IEB was analysed. Under the supervision of Umalusi, the IEB has developed new moderation systems in order to quality assure SBA (School Based Assessment), represented by learners’ portfolios which constitute 25% of the final promotion mark for the NSC. The guidelines and documentation for these moderation requirements are contained in the IEB Business Studies SAG (Subject Assessment Guidelines). This document forms the basis of the case study.The IEB, however, does not work in isolation and through their partnership with the DoE the experience gained through implementing new assessment methods in Business Studies as described in this study can be adapted for other subjects or schools in the public sector.

The National Curriculum Statement (NCS) Grades 10 to 12 (Schools), implemented from 2006, led to changes in promotion requirements and assessment practices. The investigation aimed at acquiring information about the extent to which the differences in the promotion requirements and assessment practices contributed to the high retention rate of learners in the FET Band. An explanatory mixed method strategy was followed to obtain reliable and valid results in this research. Quantitative research consisted of questionnaires and a survey to investigate OBE, assessment practices, the Grade 12 examinations and the impact of changes in promotion requirements since 2006. Qualitative research consisted of an interview with an official from the National Department of Education that contributed to a better understanding of policy changes. Based on the findings of the research, recommendations were constructed to improve assessment practices and to provide scientific data on the consequences of policy changes on the promotion of learners. / Educational Studies / M.
