Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to:

identifying correct data requirements and developing and marking up the structure of a digital template for variable digital printing

demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

a digital template for variable data printing that is error free in the soft proof

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

relevant hardware and software.

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:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

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

Submission Requirements

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

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(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.

Required knowledge

standard Generalised Markup Language and why it is important

SGML relationship to XML and PPML

difference between SGML, PPML and XML and the use of SGML over XML

difference between Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XSL

intended purpose of XSL

use an extensible markup language over HTML

ways that you use both with the one set of data

purposes of meta data within markup language documents

PRISM importance for content publishing

personalised Print Markup Language relationship to XML

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.

Data purpose may include:

target audience, type of product.

Variable fields may include:

text

images

layout with flexible placement.

Markup may include:

PPML/VDX

XML.

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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
Data purpose is identified from job requirements and clarified with client 
Data file format and type of database are identified

Static and variable areas are identified according to job specifications 
Accuracy of data is confirmed and signed off as such by client 
The requirement for additional software integration is determined such as postal software 
Fields are created and named consistently to reduce errors 
Copy holes and data are marked-up to match the job specifications 
A report for the printer is developed which identifies the relevant data assigned to each copy hole according to job specifications and business rules 
Copy holes are assigned and related information documented for the printer to understand the connection to the data 
The correct number of fields is available for the job 
Template is signed off as suitable by client 
Business rules are tested and if possible a soft proof is reviewed 
The final document is viewed with a markup language parser 
Spot colours are converted to process colours where necessary
