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:

research and generate a range of ideas for simulations that meet the project brief and target audience

develop draft design specifications for digital simulations that are clear, detailed and technically feasible

review and seek feedback from relevant personnel and produce final design specifications.

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:

describe typical formats and documentation for presenting simulation designs

outline a range of authoring tools used for digital simulations

describe the ways in which algorithms, laws, rules and mathematical formulas can represent real world processes

outline intellectual property rights and how these are managed in design of digital simulations.
