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:

ensure the quality of the scanned image meets specified quality standards and final media requirements

ensure the underlying skill of scanning images are transferable across the design and pre-press sectors

identify the substrate for reproduction and ensure that the quality of the scanned image is suitable for the identified printing processes

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

use a desktop flat-bed scanner and reproduce three line originals.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

that conditions are typical ambient conditions found in the workplace

that special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages are available and used where appropriate

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

Method of assessment

The following assessment method is appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

practical demonstration by the candidate when scanning an image to technical specifications.

Guidance information for assessment

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

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance.

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

occupational health and safety (OHS)skills for operating machinery, such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication and literacy skills for expressing ideas and information and interpreting the job brief

planning, analysing and organising skills for matching reproduction requirements, resolution factors and preparing the line image for scanning

teamwork skills for maintaining the production process in association with others

numeracy skills for calculating enlargement/reduction factors and resolution

problem-solving skills for scaling the line image to conform to production specifications

technical skills for using appropriate software and hardware correctly to ensure ease of subsequent processing

Required knowledge

relevant printing processes and electronic media

scanning requirements

characteristics of a line original

factors that determine line scanning resolution

controls that exist within the software for line scanning

essential hardware specifications for line scanning

software requirements for line scanning

specific software requirements to process and output the image

manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task, where they are kept and information included in these documents

OHS concerns when operating a scanner

OHS standards that relate to working for periods of time on computers

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.

Line image may include:

a variety of high contrast line artwork or copy.

Scanner may include:

flat-bed

drum scanners with medium to high-end full colour capabilities.

Software may include:

appropriate software relative to image input quality and output device

any proprietary industry standard software industry standard software that is bundled with high-end scanners

third party products, such as:

SilverFast

VueScan.

Quality may include:

enterprise and industry standards.

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.
