The four domains included in the accreditation framework
Online learning environment
Learner support
Learning and assessment tasks
Learning resources
The TELAS Framework focuses on four key practice domains which are then further divided into standards and specific performance criteria and associated success indicators. The success indicators are used to assess and measure each of the performance criteria which in turn provides a level of achievement against the related standard and a gauge of the quality of the assessed learning package[1].
[1] The term “Learning packages” is used in reference to the various iterations of learning such as: unit, course, subject, program, micro-credential, module etc.
