This unit is for individuals responsible for developing modern web application (Web 2.0) using the enabling technologies to create mashup applications.

This unit addresses the knowledge and skills necessary to remix content from external data services, evaluate Web 2.0 application programming interfaces (APIs) and create mashups.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to combine content from more than one source into new integrated applications and create custom mashups.

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

Prerequisites

Not applicable.


Employability Skills

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

create programmable web applications that combine data and functionality from various sources to create new services.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

the internet, in order to use mashup tools and API providers

Web 2.0 tools

IDE

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment for people with special needs.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

verbal or written questioning to assess knowledge of Web 2.0 concepts and technologies

review of output from:

mashups using code

mashups using mashup tools.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
