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 AUMFTM003, 'Develop conceptual models and prototypes'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Develop conceptual models and prototypes' 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. Determine model and prototype requirements | 1.1 Workplace requirements for the development of conceptual models and prototypes are confirmed 1.2 Instructions and plans are interpreted to identify processes and materials needed to undertake the work 1.3 Client requirements for model and prototype are confirmed with relevant personnel 1.4 Approval is sought for the proposed development or modifications to conceptual model and prototype |
2. Plan model and prototype-making activities | 2.1 Steps involved in the development or modification of the model and prototype are identified 2.2 Fabrication and machining processes and instructions are determined 2.3 Timetable, resource requirements, personnel, and purchase and supply schedule are confirmed 2.4 Approved plan is communicated to relevant personnel |
3. Prepare tools and equipment | 3.1 Required tools and equipment to construct or modify the model or prototype are selected and prepared for use 3.2 Necessary materials and components are obtained according to design requirements |
4. Produce conceptual model and prototype | 4.1 Model and prototypes are designed according to design plans and specifications 4.2 Model and prototypes are fabricated and constructed according to plans and specifications 4.3 Completed model and prototypes are compared to specification and modified as required |
5. Test and modify model and prototype | 5.1 Model and prototypes are tested and checked against project objectives, design specifications and workplace standards 5.2 Test results are analysed and action is taken where required to modify the model and prototypes 5.3 Outcomes of development process and associated testing are documented and referred to relevant personnel |
