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 ability to:

respond to requirements

produce a valid XML document

test the XML document

evaluate the test results.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment for people with special needs

client or business requirements

XML parser or IE5

XML authoring tool.

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:

evaluation of candidate’s XML document

review of candidate’s test results and test analysis

verbal or written questioning to determine candidate’s knowledge of requirements, XML and testing.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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

analytical skills to analyse document requirements and data environment

communication skills to liaise with clients

literacy skills to read required documents

problem-solving skills to address issues in design

technical skills to:

collect and disseminate data

use XML during development.

Required knowledge

Copyleft and Free Software Foundation

copyright and intellectual property

document object model

introductory knowledge of business process and information modelling

meta-modelling

standard generalised markup language (SGML)

United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) modelling methodology

unified-modelling language

web technologies

XLT and XSLT.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

electronic business using eXtensible markup language (ebXML).

Hardware may include:

modems and other connectivity devices, such as asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) modems

networks

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.
