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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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:

apply knowledge of digital technologies and how they may be used and adapted at a professional level

evolve and refine ways of working with technologies through a demonstrated process of experimentation

integrate technologies into own work in a way that supports coherence of the creative work

demonstrate technical proficiency in the use of selected digital technologies

use safe and sustainable work practices.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment, materials and tools used to produce digital work.

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 the use of technologies in terms of the coherence of the body of work

evaluation of processes used by the candidate to develop new ways of working with technologies

evaluation of the work documentation

questioning and discussion about candidate’s intentions and the work outcome

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

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

CUVPRP501A Realise a body of creative work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to engage in informed discussion around digital technologies and their relationship with ideas

critical thinking and analytical skills to evaluate and make judgements about relationships between technologies, techniques and processes

initiative and enterprise skills to:

develop individual ways of working with technologies and processes

identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by different materials and processes

learning skills to develop and refine own skills to a professional practice standard

literacy skills to analyse varied and technical information about digital technologies and processes

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical problems in digital artwork

self-management and planning skills to develop own ways of working with digital technologies and processes

technology skills to work with the advanced features of a wide range of technologies used for digital work.

Required knowledge

ways in which a wide range of digital technologies and processes can be used, adapted, combined and challenged by the professional artist

ways of integrating different technologies

types of technical and other data that may need to be stored for safety and other reasons

cost and supply parameters for different technologies and types of equipment to support professional practice

storage requirements and option for different materials used in digital work

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with digital work

sustainability issues associated with the technologies used in digital work

OHS requirements for the set-up and operation of a professional work space.
