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. Identify project requirements | 1.1 Confirm objectives and outcomes of project briefs in consultation with relevant personnel 1.2 Confirm target audience and determine format and delivery platform of simulations in discussion with relevant personnel |
2. Research and plan approach | 2.1 Investigate the real world environment to be simulated, to inform algorithms, rules, laws, physical and mathematical formulas that may be required 2.2 Evaluate designs, plans and other information relevant to the project brief that may assist in modelling the real world environment 2.3 Determine performance objectives, task complexity and user skill levels 2.4 Determine the required depth of physical and functional fidelity, taking into account production requirements 2.5 Research and suggest appropriate simulation authoring tools 2.6 Collaborate with relevant personnel and discuss ideas and creative solutions |
3. Draft simulation design documents | 3.1 Identify processes that determine the functional behaviour of the simulation and specify how this behaviour is to be represented by control objects 3.2 Define the underlying functionality in a model that specifies essential settings, states, conditions and parameters 3.3 Specify user interface controls that enable users to interact with simulations 3.4 Identify critical impacts, alerts or costs for incorrect user operation 3.5 Specify positive and negative feedback to user responses when interacting with simulations 3.6 Specify sequencing of difficulty levels, if required 3.7 Confirm proposed simulation is technically achievable, in consultation with relevant personnel 3.8 Present clear and detailed draft simulation design specifications in a format that can be used for discussion with and feedback from other team members |
4. Finalise simulation design documents | 4.1 Review designs against required project outcomes and performance objectives 4.2 Review designs against creative, technical and intellectual property requirements 4.3 Adjust design specifications as necessary after discussions with relevant personnel 4.4 Archive user interface controls for other projects |
Evidence of the ability to:
research and generate a range of ideas for simulations that meet the project brief and target audience
develop draft design specifications for digital simulations that are clear, detailed and technically feasible
review and seek feedback from relevant personnel and produce final design specifications.
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:
describe typical formats and documentation for presenting simulation designs
outline a range of authoring tools used for digital simulations
describe the ways in which algorithms, laws, rules and mathematical formulas can represent real world processes
outline intellectual property rights and how these are managed in design of digital simulations.
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:
briefs for digital simulations on which designs can be based
facilities and resources to develop design simulations.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
