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 CPCCBC6014A, 'Apply structural principles to the construction of large, high rise and complex buildings'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Apply structural principles to the construction of large, high rise and complex buildings' 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. Apply structural principles to the planning of the erection or demolition of a structure. | 1.1. Main structural principles that apply to the erection of large, high rise and complex structures are identified. 1.2. Performance characteristics of the structural elements, including materials identified in the building plan, are identified, analysed and applied to the planning of the construction work. 1.3. Demolition of existing structures is undertaken in accordance with legislative and planning requirements and safe work practices. |
2. Coordinate and manage the site assessment and job set-up. | 2.1. Processes are put in place to analyse stability of soils and capacity of the site to support the construction loads. 2.2. Requirements for retaining walls are identified in conjunction with related industry professionals and applied to the planning process. 2.3. Structural function and requirements for temporary structural elements are analysed and applied to the planning process. |
3. Coordinate and manage construction of footing systems. | 3.1. Coordination of the set-out of the building is undertaken in accordance with documented building plans, following the full assessment of the site. 3.2. Structural performance of the footings specified in the building plan is assessed for compliance with relevant codes and accepted industry construction principles. 3.3. Footings, as specified in the building plan, are laid and checked for compliance with standards and accepted industry construction principles. 3.4. Damp coursing and the provision of termite barriers and other relevant techniques are planned, implemented and checked in accordance with codes, standards and industry practice. |
4. Coordinate and manage structural elements of the construction process. | 4.1. Technical construction principles and performance characteristics of construction materials are identified and analysed in the planning of project. 4.2. Processes for construction of all structural elements are identified, implemented and checked for compliance with manufacturer specifications and relevant Australian standards and codes. 4.3. Building plans and relevant standards and codes are identified and implemented to ensure appropriate allowances have been made for plumbing, electrical conduits and other services to be installed. |
5. Analyse and plan for structural integrity of buildings. | 5.1. Relevant industry professionals are consulted to provide advice regarding the structural integrity of proposed building. 5.2. Structural requirements and loads of the building design are assessed. 5.3. Analysis is conducted of the effects of force and movements on structural elements. 5.4. Analysis of properties and behaviours of structural materials is conducted. 5.5. Analysis of section properties of structural elements is conducted using standard industry formulas and performance comparisons. 5.6. Performance characteristics of columns are evaluated using standard industry techniques. 5.7. Methods used for stress distribution in connections between structural elements are assessed. 5.8. Impact of various loads on the building structure is assessed. 5.9. Design impact of high performance structural elements is considered. |
