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 AUMFTM002, 'Create new product designs'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Create new product designs' 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
Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section |
1. Establish design requirements | 1.1 Work instructions and plans are interpreted to identify processes and materials required 1.2 Information is gathered and analysed to determine key requirements of new design 1.3 Requirements of new design are documented according to workplace procedures |
2. Identify constraints | 2.1 Constraints on design concepts are identified and documented 2.2 Suitable strategies are developed to address identified constraints on designs |
3. Create design concept | 3.1 Initial design concept based on identified design requirements and constraints is created 3.2 Function, physical requirements and impact of the design concept are reviewed with appropriate personnel 3.3 Modifications to the initial design concept are made according to feedback provided by appropriate personnel |
4. Produce design concept | 4.1 Sketches are prepared to illustrate and explain proposed design concept 4.2 Concept sketches are reviewed with appropriate personnel and suitable changes are made 4.3 Critical dimensions and data of the design concept are identified 4.4 Drawings are prepared to enable manufacturing methods to be identified and evaluated 4.5 Draft product specifications are prepared according to workplace procedures |
5. Determine suitable manufacturing methods, materials and processes | 5.1 Suitable manufacturing methods are identified for the production of components and sub-assemblies 5.2 Identified manufacturing methods for components and sub-assemblies are evaluated with engineering personnel 5.3 Suitable assembly and finishing methods for the purpose of product design are identified and evaluated |
6. Evaluate feasibility of design and manufacture | 6.1 Proposed design and manufacturing processes are evaluated against the design requirements with appropriate personnel 6.2 Suitable design tests are conducted, and outcomes are documented |
7. Modify design | 7.1 Product designs are modified if necessary, based on test outcomes 7.2 Further tests are conducted to confirm modified design against design requirements 7.3 Outcomes of modifications and testing of new design concept are documented |
8. Complete work processes | 8.1 Documentation requirements for proposed new product design and associated manufacturing processes are identified 8.2 Design documents are processed for approval 8.3 Design documents are distributed and stored according to workplace procedures |
