Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Confirm data requirements
   • All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against the job specifications
   • Media content is tested to ensure all interactivity performs according to job specifications
   • Media is compressed correctly with images at the right resolution and any text in the correct format
2. Prepare the CD-ROM/DVD structure
   • Target audience is identified from job specifications and a welcome page is developed
   • The welcome page identifies the navigational structure of the media
   • Folders for containing the media are prepared according to interactivity requirements
   • DOS-style eight-dot-three-character file names are used for all files
3. Set up auto functions
   • Autorun is set up to automatically start up the CD-ROM/DVD media
   • ShelExec.exe is incorporated into the autorun script to ensure default programs within the shell are started
   • Autorun is linked to a reader in case the target audience do not have one pre-installed
   • Where autorun is linked to Adobe Reader, JavaScript is added to the appropriate folder to launch the PDF file
4. Burn CD-ROM/DVD
   • The CD-ROM/DVD layout is validated and saved correctly
   • The preferred CD-ROM/DVD format is chosen for the job
   • A test CD-ROM/DVD is burned to test the auto functions and confirm interactivity across different platforms
   • A master disc is produced for mass duplication

Required Skills

Required Knowledge and Skills

The following skills must be assessed as part of this unit OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started Communication of ideas and information by developing a welcome page that identifies the navigational structure of the media Collecting analysing and organising information by correctly compressing media at the right resolution with any text in the correct format Planning and organising activities by preparing the CDROMDVD structure before setting up auto functions Teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others Mathematical ideas and techniques by compressing media correctly to ensure images are at the right resolution Problemsolving skills by testing the auto functions to confirm interactivity across different platforms Use of technology by using computer hardware and software to create and test a CDROMDVD

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria Required Knowledge and Skills the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the following is essential Create an interactive CDROMDVD that starts automatically and has no errors in any of the interactive functions Create TWO different interactive CDROMsDVDs which start automatically have no errors in any of the interactive functions and besides autorun they will link with a reader for computers without a reader installed 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 appropriate computer 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 onthejob performance by the candidate
	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended
