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 the principles of effective and creative design and visual communication in order to produce a functioning and welldesigned interactive product.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

computer hardware, software, games engines and file storage

copyright and intellectual property legislation

OHS legislation and enterprise policy

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment for people with special needs.

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:

review of sample workplace activities

evaluation of written or interactive computer-based fault-finding exercises

evaluation of reports and logbooks.

Guidance information for assessment

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

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

check and confirm design requirements

collect, interpret and communicate in visual and written forms effectively for various audiences, including engineers and artists

communicate complex designs in a structured format drawn from industry standards, styles and techniques

communicate technical requirements related to software development, graphics requirements and code development to supervisors and other team members

provide practical advice, support and feedback to colleagues and management

translate design requirements into specifications

literacy and numeracy skills to read and analyse briefs, work instructions, and technical and conceptual information

problem-solving skills to recognise and address potential quality issues and problems at design development stage

research skills to undertake practical, technical and desktop research into integrating digital effects components

technical skills to:

apply digital effect components to a presentation

integrate a framework to incorporate digital effect components into a presentation.

Required knowledge

component-based programming skills

OHS requirements for ergonomics

risk and critical path management

technical constraints that hardware imposes on software development, graphics requirements, code development and creative visual design

techniques for applying concept development skills

techniques for applying concept visualisation skills

techniques for applying framework integration skills.
