This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop basic keyboard skills using touch typing techniques in a broad range of settings.

It applies to individuals who perform a range of mainly routine tasks and generally work under direct supervision using limited practical skills and fundamental knowledge.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Use safe work practices	1.1 Adjust workspace, furniture and equipment to suit user ergonomic requirements 1.2 Ensure work meets organisational and work health and safety (WHS) requirements for computer operation
2. Identify and develop keyboard skills	2.1 Identify and apply keyboard functions for both alpha and numeric keyboard functions 2.2 Apply touch typing technique to complete a task 2.3 Develop speed and accuracy in accordance with workplace requirements for level of responsibility
3. Check accuracy	3.1 Proofread document carefully to identify errors 3.2 Amend document, correct errors and complete a final accuracy check

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Speed and accuracy must be:

consistent with degree of experience of operator relevant to level of responsibility.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
