Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations

Hand tools and equipment are checked to ensure they are fit for purpose, and any deficiencies are rectified. 1.3. Common steel types appropriate for shoe fabrication are identified, along with processes used in such identification. 1.4. Dimensions used in standard horse shoes for healthy horses are identified. 1.5. The most suitable shoe, appropriate types of steel and dimensions to be used, is determined for a particular horse and its work. 1.6. The horse is examined at rest, walking and at the trot to identify gait and particular needs. 1.7. Fore and hind feet of the horse are measured, and allowance is made for a range of variants as applicable. 1.8. Specifications are produced for the required shoes. 1.9. Forge fire is maintained at the temperature necessary to work the materials selected. |

Occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements concerned with making of horse shoes and use of forges are followed, including use of appropriate personal protective equipment. 2.2. Correct positions and balance are utilised when using tools to perform particular activities. |
3. Manufacture sets of standard shoes | 3.1. The steel length required is determined from measurements and specification, and accurately cut. 3.2. Steel is heated in the forge to a malleable working temperature. 3.3. Standard steps involved in making shoes are performed. 3.4. Final fitting is performed humanely and checked against quality standards. 3.5. Minor alterations required to obtain final fit are completed. 3.6. The shoe is cooled in preparation for nailing. |
