Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment for people with special needs

development environment

server access

browsers.

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 documentation and code of an implemented and tested web application prepared by candidate

evaluation of candidate's completed website.

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.

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.

Document may include:

software requirement specifications

unified modelling language (UML) diagrams

wireframes.

Prototype may be in the form of:

images of sample web pages

non-functional static website to demonstrate what the site will look like.

Architectural requirements may be in reference to:

classes required to build the application

configuration

operating system

software.

Data storage may include:

database

files, such as eXtensible markup language (XML).

Components may include:

classes required to build the application

flash movies

JavaScript

jQuery

shopping cart

web user controls.

Design structure may include:

eXtensible hypertext markup language (XHTML).

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.
