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!

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Define the content needs

  1. Research the strategic intent of the website, or system, from the business requirements and client expectations
  2. Provide direction in order to develop the information requirements, based on the business and client requirements
  3. Synthesise the required information, and group it into business schemes related to the business structure
  4. Direct the determination of content requirements for each process

Evidence of the ability to:

identify the strategic and business intent of the website or system

conduct business meetings, applying effective communication techniques

research and determine the essential requirements of a product, applying quality management principles

describe the features of the website or system

develop the navigation system

construct an information architecture prototype

test the prototype with the operating system and the transition media

supervise the user acceptance test.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

examine the equity and diversity principles relevant to information architecture projects

research and critique organisational policies and procedures, as they apply to the project

determine and outline the public sector legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements, that directly impact on the business operations

evaluate the components of telecommunications networks

research and synthesise the workplace, and industry environment, as it applies to information architecture.
