Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify document requirements
   • Content meaning and information structure are developed based on document intent, final media and intended audiences
   • Information is identified and grouped according to the job brief
   • Target audience requirements and expectations are determined according to the brief
2. Plan content structure
   • Information is arranged in related topics and logical sequence
   • Content meaning is tested by simulating generation of new coherent documents based on the original content
   • A hierarchy of information is developed with datachecked to confirm hierarchy sequence
3. Develop information architecture
   • An information hierarchy is prepared, catering for physical storage of files
   • Search and retrieval mechanisms are prepared for content discovery
   • Information hierarchy is designed, catering for navigation and access between files or groups of content
4. Develop navigation system
   • High level, local and document navigational systems are built based on information architecture
   • Design is consistent, intuitive and with a logical labelling system to provide access to various levels and type of content
   • Labels and indexes are clear, consistent, coherent and relatively intuitive to enable target audience access
5. Design information layout
   • Templates for textual and graphic elements are developed to facilitate consistent and uniform layout and visual design (technology)
   • An extensible template is linked to the document (technology)
6. Test document
   • Suite of prototypes for all document levels is developed
   • Rigour of information architecture at all levels is tested
   • Correct functioning and intuitive use of navigational features are tested for all levels
   • Visual design and layout are tested at all levels against standard onscreen design principles
   • Levels of accessibilityfor people with disabilities are deemed acceptable

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

create TWO different documents which include evidence of information structures for markup, web pages or long document assembly (documents must be intuitive for target audience navigation, and successfully tested)

find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
