Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence of the ability to:

discuss and determine requirements for an interactive media product

use authoring software to create logical file directory structures and build a prototype of an interactive media product

evaluate and incorporate feedback from user testing to the prototype

use authoring software to develop a fully functional interactive media product that:

conforms to design and creative requirements specifications

meets accessibility and interoperability standards.

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

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain technical requirements for integrating media assets (video, audio, animation, images) for use on a range of delivery platforms

describe interoperability and accessibility standards used in interactive media product design

explain the purpose and process of script validation

outline basic health and safety requirements when working on computers and keyboards.
