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
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver AHCPHT406A, 'Control Phase II mushroom substrate process'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Control Phase II mushroom substrate process' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Confirm the requirements for Phase II mushroom substrate preparation | 1.1. Phase II mushroom substrate process is monitored and managed to ensure that process is performed according to farm procedures and schedules, and that all equipment is operated safely and according to manufacturer instructions. 1.2. Checks are made to ensure all temperature probes are functioning correctly. 1.3. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements and hazards associated with Phase II process are identified and appropriate action is taken to minimise risks. 1.4. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and clothing are selected and used according to farm OHS procedures. 1.5. Site quarantine protocols and farm and personal hygiene requirements are determined, applied and monitored as required by farm procedures. 1.6. Condition and quality of compost are assessed before filling and any required remedial action is communicated according to farm procedures. |
2. Carry out Phase II process | 2.1. Placement of probes in air and substrate is monitored to ensure placement complies with required farm procedures. 2.2. The evenness of filling and amount filled are checked. 2.3. Room or tunnel is checked at completion of filling to ensure that doors are secure and vents and thermostats are set according to farm procedures. 2.4. Key factors and critical points are measured and recorded legibly and accurately according to farm procedures. 2.5. Equipment settings are adjusted as required and according to farm procedures to ensure optimum conditions for each Phase II sub-stage. 2.6. Random representative samples are taken for laboratory chemical testing. 2.7. Ammonia measurements are taken or ammonia levels assessed prior to cool down for spawning. 2.8. Feedback on performance is provided to personnel under supervision. 2.9. Own performance is assessed, feedback on performance sought and any required improvements are noted for future action. |
