Unit of Competency | CUFDIG502A - Design web environments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to design web environments.A web environment may consist of one or many web applications and technologies integrated in various combinations.The design is focused on how these applications and technologies are combined and used, and the way in which interactive content is accessed by users.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. | ||
| Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
| Learning Outcomes and Application | A person in this role works with clients to develop design specifications for web environments.Other specialised designers, graphic artists and programmers working as a team undertake the development of design specifications.Higher order skills associated with developing and documenting concepts that could be used as the basis for design specifications are covered in:BSBCRT501A Originate and develop concepts. | ||
| Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
||
| Prerequisites/co-requisites | |||
| Competency Field | Visual communication - digital content and imaging | ||
| Development and validation strategy and guide for assessors and learners | Student Learning Resources | Handouts Activities |

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.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: design specifications for web environments that: are well documented and clearly presented meet client and audience requirements are technically feasible ability to work effectively as a member of a production team. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: practical demonstration of skills through the design of web environments for at least two projects access to project briefs on which designs can be based access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed. |
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 evaluation of designs for web environments documented by the candidate and of their effectiveness in terms of meeting project requirements observation of a candidate presenting his/her design for web environments to team members and explaining how it meets requirements written or oral questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: CUFDIG505A Design information architecture CUFPPM404A Create storyboards. |

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 skills |
communication, teamwork and literacy skills sufficient to: interpret and clarify written proposals and creative briefs work collaboratively in a team environment present ideas for the design of web environments for discussion and feedback from team members clearly and concisely document specifications for the design of web environments initiative, enterprise and creativity in the context of: generating ideas for the design of web environments thinking laterally when developing concepts undertaking background research into web environments maintaining design integrity finding solutions to problems encountered when designing web environments finding ways to minimise the effect of technical constraints ensuring there is an intuitive and logical flow to the navigation of web environments technical skills sufficient to create storyboards, maps and other diagrams to specify the architecture and navigation of web environments self-management skills sufficient to: meet deadlines provide appropriate and timely documentation |
Required knowledge |
industry knowledge, including: roles and responsibilities of project team members, e.g. designers, content creators, information architects, programmers and coders sequence and interrelationship of stages in the process of developing web environments broad range of web applications and technologies web design and its relationship to web optimisation strategies web standards, including SCORM, usability, W3C Accessibility and interoperability issues and challenges that arise in designing and developing web environments typical formats and techniques for documenting the design of web environments OHS standards as they relate to working for periods of time on computers intellectual property rights and copyright clearance procedures |
