Customise content management system

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create and integrate, a website into an open-source content management system.

It applies to individuals working as web developers who apply a wide range of knowledge and skills, across ICT, to support small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that require broader, rather than more specialised, ICT support.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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


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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Analyse the specifications and requirements

1.1 Determine the required functionality of the website

1.2 Determine the appropriate server-side language that will be used to produce the website

1.3 Determine the content structure and navigation of the website

1.4 Determine the pre-existing restraints that need to be considered when developing a website solution

2. Research the requirements

2.1 Research the appropriate solutions, based on website requirements, including the programming language, content management system (CMS), licensing structure and hosting structure

2.2 Research the techniques, plug-ins and additions to the existing content management system, in order to allow the solution to fulfil the needs determined while analysing website requirements

3. Create a content-management system powered website

3.1 Install and configure the chosen CMS

3.2 Insert and manage, the website content

3.3 Install and implement the appropriate techniques, and plug-ins

4. Validate and evaluate the final website

4.1 Validate the final website markup against current website standards

4.2 Validate the content management system performance in different browsers, checking compatibility, and core content management system functionality

Evidence of the ability to:

research and evaluate client requirements

create a content management system (CMS) powered website using an open-source solution

validate the CMS against the standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

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:

define "content management system" and describe its purpose

explain markup language and its associated standards

outline server-side language and security techniques

discuss web accessibility

evaluate a content management system (front and backend) in commonly used browsers

outline W3C standards and their application to website development.

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 website technologies field of work, and include access to:

the client requirements, and content

a text editor

a range of browsers

the internet for research and code validation.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Submission Requirements

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.

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.
