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. Define the content needs | 1.1 Research the strategic intent of the website, or system, from the business requirements and client expectations 1.2 Provide direction in order to develop the information requirements, based on the business and client requirements 1.3 Synthesise the required information, and group it into business schemes related to the business structure 1.4 Direct the determination of content requirements for each process |
2. Contribute to the description of the system and transmission media | 2.1 Consult with network and system specialists 2.2 Critically analyse the features of the physical environment, to interface with the information system architecture 2.3 Estimate the traffic content and volumes, based on the business requirements |
3. Supervise the development of content structure and navigation plan | 3.1 Organise the information into related topics 3.2 Ensure that the information hierarchy is in a valid sequence 3.3 Provide direction for clear, valid and intuitive labelling 3.4 Review and commit to the feasibility of architecture design 3.5 Develop the acceptance criteria |
4. Implement the navigation system development | 4.1 Coordinate the fit of navigational systems with the business requirements 4.2 Supervise the development of navigational search subsystems 4.3 Lead the development of consistent, and logical, labelling systems |
5. Finalise the testing and accept the information architecture model | 5.1 Lead the construction of an information architecture prototype 5.2 Ensure that a broad sample of business clients are engaged 5.3 Ensure that the site content meets the business needs 5.4 Lead the testing of the information architecture prototype, to test that it operates on the chosen system, and transmission media 5.5 Supervise the user-acceptance test |
Evidence of the ability to:
identify the strategic and business intent of the website or system
conduct business meetings, applying effective communication techniques
research and determine the essential requirements of a product, applying quality management principles
describe the features of the website or system
develop the navigation system
construct an information architecture prototype
test the prototype with the operating system and the transition media
supervise the user acceptance test.
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:
examine the equity and diversity principles relevant to information architecture projects
research and critique organisational policies and procedures, as they apply to the project
determine and outline the public sector legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements, that directly impact on the business operations
evaluate the components of telecommunications networks
research and synthesise the workplace, and industry environment, as it applies to information architecture.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:
the computer system and a web-host workplace
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
