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.

Bull float is applied immediately after initial screeding while concrete is still plastic, to assist in maintaining a level surface consistent with drawings and specifications and to remove screeding lines and inaccuracies.

2.2

Surface of concrete is assessed during the curing process and level surface is maintained to allow manual and mechanical trowelling to be applied.

2.3

Concrete is observed and left untouched until bleed water has come to the surface and evaporated.

2.4

Strength of setting concrete is assessed using a basic thumb test to ensure weight of mechanical trowel and operator can be accommodated.

2.5

Mechanical trowelling is applied and reapplied in multiple overlapping lines, to consolidate and densify the setting concrete surface.

2.6

Control joints are installed, edges finished and concrete trowelled to specifications.
