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.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

production of digital images which demonstrate a command of selected techniques and which are consistent with the conceptual vision

knowledge of equipment and materials and how they are used and extended in the production of digital images.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce multiple examples of digital imaging work or a single major work.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

direct observation of digital imaging work in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions and work

verbal and written reports

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

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).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce digital images.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to read equipment instructions

numeracy skills sufficient to deal with such issues as resolution, sizing, file storage.

Required knowledge:

equipment and materials used in the production of digital images

work space requirements for the production of digital images, including ways of organising and maintaining space

ways of exploring, adapting and combining techniques to achieve different effects in digital imaging work

general knowledge of the formal elements and principles of design and their specific application to the production of digital images

maintenance of equipment used in digital imaging work

general knowledge of the historical and theoretical contexts for digital imaging work

awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to digital imaging work.

Range Statement

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.

Equipment may include:

computer

digital camera

imaging applications

output device

scanner.

Materials may include:

a range of printing surfaces, including papers, acetate, fabrics.

Maintaining equipment and materials may involve:

charging batteries

deleting image files from memory cards

replacing protective covers

replenishing paper supply

saving files

shutting down computers

turning off power supply.

Workplace procedures may relate to such things as:

cost control

recycling

reporting

safety

use of materials.

Safety requirements would be in accordance with:

Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards.

Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:

ergonomic considerations

light

power supply.

Assessing the capabilities of techniques may involve further practice with the techniques to acquire, manipulate and print images while also manipulating variables such as resolution, colour depth, brightness, contrast. It may also involve:

experimenting directly with work in progress

producing practice prints or samples

testing imaging features of the software in use.

Extending capabilities of techniques refers to:

exploring the potential of techniques and discovering new ways of using techniques.

The conceptual vision may be determined by:

elements and principles of design

the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context

the subject matter or theme for the digital images, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.

Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of techniques which may include:

acquiring an image through scanning, digital photography or from the Internet

file format considerations

manipulating the image by means of a range of imaging applications

outputting image as a print, CD-ROM or other storage medium.

Criteria for the selection of techniques may relate to:

access to materials and equipment

consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed digital images

ease of application of the techniques

personal affinity with the techniques.
