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:

analyse, design, implement and test a website to meet technical requirements

create efficient and effective code to meet technical requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment for people with special needs

development environment

server access

database server

browsers.

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 documentation and code of an implemented and tested web application prepared by candidate

evaluation of candidate's completed website.

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:

determine functional requirements

identify dynamic client and server-side requirements

communication skills to liaise with the client

initiative and enterprise skills to provide feedback and recommend the most appropriate technology solutions

literacy skills to:

follow documented instruction from a supplied guide

interpret workplace instructions and other technical documents

keep up-to-date with latest industry guidelines

planning and organisational skills to plan and organise the most appropriate solution

problem-solving skills to:

identify and rectify website functional problems

identify and resolve bugs in the code created

select the most efficient and effective algorithms

research skills to:

find solutions to encountered problems

keep up-to-date with industry trends

technical skills to:

apply web programming concepts

create HTML and XHTML pages

create software in a variety of languages, including client and server-side languages

create aesthetically pleasing web pages

understand hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP).

Required knowledge

features of internet technology

principles of analysis and design

programming control structures and object-oriented programming

web programming concepts, including:

authentication and web security

HTTP

session management

stateless programming.

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.

Document may include:

software requirement specifications

unified modelling language (UML) diagrams

wireframes.

Prototype may be in the form of:

images of sample web pages

non-functional static website to demonstrate what the site will look like.

Architectural requirements may be in reference to:

classes required to build the application

configuration

operating system

software.

Data storage may include:

database

files, such as eXtensible markup language (XML).

Components may include:

classes required to build the application
