Produce basic client-side script for dynamic web pages

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to those working in web development who are required to produce client-side scripts as a common means of creating interactive websites. These scripts offer an effective simple means of enabling websites to provide greater interaction with clients.

Client side scripting may be used for purposes, such as form validation, but only in areas where they would affect only the document in question and no outside objects.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to produce a number of client-side scripts for dynamic web pages, using a range of features from different appropriate languages.

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

This unit contains 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:

produce basic client server-side scripts for dynamic web pages

confirm successful viewing of the active elements or objects across different platforms.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

client requirements

functionality and scope requirements

security policy

web server

appropriate learning and assessment support when required.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified 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:

review of candidate’s:

client-side script code

subsequent results

performance of real or simulated work

observation of candidate’s website using client-side scripts

verbal or written questioning to determine candidate’s knowledge of scripting, including client-side versus server-side scripting.

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.

Submission Requirements

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

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.

Required skills

analytical skills to determine the necessary dynamic functionality of the web document

communication skills to liaise with end user

problem-solving skills to review design and functionality conflicts

technical skills to:

debug and handle errors

use a PC and a range of software packages

use internet protocols

view the active elements or objects across different platforms.

Required knowledge

basic knowledge of open platforms

detailed knowledge of:

client-side scripting

events and event handlers

internet operation related to servers and clients

internet protocols incorporating some theoretical concepts

security restrictions on servers, incorporating some theoretical concepts

server-side and client-side concepts, incorporating standard generalised markup language (SGML) and associated standards types of function, particularly when creating scripts to implement functions.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Web document may include:

previously created and new HTML documents

saved email files with or without attachments

saved HTML documents.

Language may include:

ActiveX

dynamic hypertext markup language (DHTML)

JavaScript

VBScript.

Accessibility may relate to:

cultural awareness

ethnicity

intellectual impairments and remote locations

physical.

Documentation may follow:

audit trails

International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Australian Standards (AS) standards

naming standards

project management templates

report writing protocols

version control.

Appropriate person may include:

authorised business representative

client

supervisor.

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.
