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:

create and develop design documents for 3-D animations

follow a project pipeline to produce a 3-D animation 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:

evaluation of work samples or simulated workplace activities

observation of fault-finding exercises

verbal questioning or interview

evaluation of written or interactive computer-based test or quiz

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

analytical skills to:

assess suitability of software and hardware technologies within project context

establish clear advantages, disadvantages and limitations of technologies and their implementation

communication skills to discuss suitability of storyboard design within project context

planning and organisational skills to:

establish clear goals to achieve required software development outcomes

meet project deadlines

technology skills to:

resolve basic hardware, software and other technical issues associated with software production

use correct file formats and archiving procedures.

Required knowledge

concepts of animation techniques

concepts of digital effects generation

2-D and 3-D graphics editing software and their common concepts

appropriate graphics formats.
