Author interactive sequences

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use an authoring tool to produce discrete interactive sequences for websites.

It applies to individuals working collaboratively with technical assistance and under direction, who develop small components such as web pages or a sequence of screens, which are integrated into a larger project.

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)



Evidence Required

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. Plan use of authoring tool

1.1 Identify a range of appropriate authoring software and discuss their application to various delivery platforms with relevant people

1.2 Clarify design specifications of the project and deadlines with relevant people

1.3 Discuss with relevant personnel the technical requirements of the project and select appropriate authoring software

2. Prepare to author sequence

2.1 Load selected authoring software, create a new file in website directory for specified task and name using standard industry naming conventions

2.2 Source and assemble all media assets and text content, and check compliance with copyright conditions

2.3 Display and use tools and features of authoring software

2.4 Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time

3. Produce interactive sequences

3.1 Produce screen layout according to design specifications applying basic visual design principles and/or templates or themes

3.2 Create interactive media components as required

3.3 Source text content and apply style sheets to format text

3.4 Source relevant media assets, optimise if required, and integrate using appropriate file formats

3.5 Link all components according to production storyboard

3.6 Manipulate HTML mark-up code where errors are occurring or to refine sequence functionality

3.7 Apply features to optimise accessibility

3.8 Save file to website directory structure as components are produced

4. Check functionality of interactive sequence

4.1 Check interactive elements function with minimal error on a variety of devices, operating systems and browsers

4.2 Incorporate changes as required

4.3 Present sequence to relevant people

Evidence of the ability to:

assemble text content, interactive media components and media assets required for a project

use appropriate software to produce interactive media sequences that meet design and project specifications within deadlines

apply visual design principles, templates, style sheets and HTML mark-up language to interactive sequences

check interactive sequence functionality on at least two operating systems, browsers and devices

save and store files correctly.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

list appropriate file formats for web delivery

outline when optimisation of media assets is necessary

explain why application of accessibility standards in the web environment is important

describe basic visual design principles as they apply to website page layout

explain safe work practices in relation to working on computers for periods of time

explain the procedure for checking copyright clearance.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

text and media assets

authoring software.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.


Submission Requirements

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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.

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.
