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:

design applications for small devices that allow multi-touch user input and have advanced mobile features

build and test these applications

deploy these applications on mobile phones, pocket personal computers, PDAs and EDAs.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

hand-held devices and simulators

IDE

internet and web services

server system with sufficient privileges to deploy applications

specific tools and licences, depending on particular platform

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:

verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of mobile development environment

evaluation of candidate’s mobile application, including its distribution to target devices.

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:

analyse designs for small devices

evaluate appropriate mobile-development environment

communication skills to provide advice and guidance to others

literacy skills to read and interpret technical and non-technical information

problem-solving skills to:

address common problems in building and deploying mobile applications

perform basic program-debugging skills

research skills to find and evaluate relevant technologies in mobile applications development

technical skills to:

create eXtensible markup language (XML) documents

design user interface

test and debug applications

use an integrated development environment (IDE).

Required knowledge

hardware and networking

object-oriented programming

user interface design

web design
