Your task
Individually, you are required to record a 10-minute webinar that explores the impact of a single
environmental (one) factor on the current and future strategies and operations of an organisation
delivering services within the industry segment chosen for Assessment 1.
Assessment Description.
Having identified a particular organisation from within the nominated industry segment, students will
research the possible current and future effects of a single prominent environmental factor on that
organisation and plan, script and record a webinar that explains those possible effects to current
members of that organisation. Your webinar should educate the personnel on the impact of that
factor on the work that they are doing now and its possible effects in the future.
Assessment Instructions
Building on student’s industry sector analyses, completed in Assessment 1, students now present
further analysis on how one environmental factor impacts operations and stakeholder groups in
healthcare organisations in their chosen segment.
For example, a student could choose to examine how the issue of an ageing population affects the
operations of privately-owned aged-care facilities. Another example could be an analysis of the
effects limiting the numbers of overseas-trained doctors for public hospitals in rural and remote
locations.
Students present their analysis as a 10-minute pre-recorded webinar aimed at staff of an
organisation within the given segment. The organisation must be currently operating in the
Australian healthcare industry, e.g. a specific hospital, clinic, service or program. The webinar
should present for staff:
• An overview of the issue and how it is impacting the broader health sector
• Stakeholder groups and their perspectives on the issue
• The challenges and opportunities presented by this environmental factor
• Ethical responsibilities in relation to the chosen issue
• Recommendations for a strategic response to the issue
Students are encouraged to explore and utilise features of webinar technologies and to include a
wide range of multimedia and/or interactive content, such as:
• Short interviews with stakeholders
• Information presented visually, such as photographs, charts and diagrams
• Quizzes
• Key “takeaways” for staff – strategies that can be employed in relation to the issue
The findings presented in this webinar must be accompanied by PowerPoint slides and be based
on scholarly and peer-reviewed sources of information that were published no longer than 5
years ago. These sources must be presented in the video in the form of in-text citations and a
reference list adhering with Kaplan Harvard Referencing Style. Wikipedia and other ‘popular’
sites are not to be used.
Assessment Submission
Students are encouraged to submit their work well before the deadline to avoid any possible technical
difficulties. For students with limited experience in video-making techniques, it is recommended to
read the video FAQs document available to you under the assessments tab in .
