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:

scan images that meet specified quality and technical standards for reproduction and final end use

find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

use a medium to high-end full colour digital device to reproduce one line-art, one greyscale, one colour transparency (positive), one colour reflective, one negative and one re-screen.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

that conditions are typical ambient conditions found in the workplace

access to relevant facilities, equipment and materials used for digital printing and image scanning

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

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:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

practical demonstration by the candidate in scanning images that meet the technical specifications of the job.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other digital production units relevant to the workplace and job role is recommended.

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

OHS skills for using correct ergonomics when operating the computer

communication and literacy skill for interpreting implicit and explicit requirements of the job brief

planning, analytical and organising skills for matching requirements for reproduction (colour profiles and resolution) with the job brief and ensuring all materials are delivered

teamwork skills for maintaining the production process in association with others

numeracy skills for calculating resolution and enlargement/reduction factors

problem-solving skills for matching needs of the client with constraints of production

technical skills for using software and hardware correctly to ensure ease of subsequent processing

Required knowledge

scanner settings for various printing processes or electronic media

scanner calibration

primary colours and colour mixing principles

variables that influence the colour separation requirements

importance of tone gradation and grey balance

necessity to apply colour correction

factors that influence the selection of screen ruling and dot percentage

impact output resolution has on final screen ruling

OHS standards as they relate to operating a scanner

manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to the task, where they are kept and the information included in these documents

availability of other sources of information

OHS standards that relate to working for periods of time on computers

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.

Original images may include:

line-art

transparencies (positive and negative)

reflection and re-screens for mono

red, blue, green (RGB)

cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK).

Scanners may include:

flat-bed

drum scanners with medium to high-end full colour capabilities.

Scanner software may include:

any proprietary

industry standard software that is bundled with high-end scanners

third party products, such as:

SilverFast

VueScan.
