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

Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare for Anguina testing | 1.1 Test request is reviewed to identify samples to be tested, required test methods, equipment, and staff to be involved in the test. 1.2 Equipment and working space are cleaned and calibrated. 1.3 The working sample or sub-samples are prepared using mixing and dividing processes. 1.4 Sample details are correctly recorded on worksheets and sample packets. |
2. Inspect seed samples | 2.1 A prescribed sample of ryegrass seed is prepared and inspected on a diaphanoscope for the presence of galls. 2.2 Any galls present, are separated into yellow and black galls, counted and reported separately. 2.3 If galls are not present, then further samples of six grams (6gms) are inspected to a total of sixty grams (60gms) of seed. |
3. Examine galls | 3.1 Galls are soaked in water for prescribed period. 3.2 Galls are dissected and examined under a microscope for the presence of nematodes. 3.3 The presence of nematodes is recorded. |
4. Report results | 4.1 Testing procedures carried out by analysts are reviewed. 4.2 Where no galls are found on the sixty grams (60gms) of seed, a report of no galls found is issued. 4.3 Where galls have been detected containing nematodes, these are reported as number of galls per sample weight. |
