The CMALT Guidelines state that:

"Candidates should demonstrate their understanding of and engagement with teaching, learning and assessment processes. ‘Engagement’ may include using understanding to inform the development, adaptation or application of technology. Note that your learners are the people with whom you work. For teaching staff this will typically be students. For many learning technologists this may be students or the staff that you support and train."

The Guidelines require evidence in the following sub-areas:

• 2a: An understanding of teaching, learning and/or assessment processes
• 2b: An understanding of your target learners
