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 CPCCSV6004A, 'Apply footing and geomechanical design principles to buildings up to three storeys'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Apply footing and geomechanical design principles to buildings up to three storeys' 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. Evaluation of slope instability. | 1.1. Effect of soil and rock strength on slope instability is evaluated and recorded. 1.2. Modes and mechanics of slope instability are researched and documented. 1.3. Methods to stabilise slopes are researched and documented according to standard specifications. |
2. Analyse retaining wall requirements according to the structure. | 2.1. Retaining structures and systems suitable for various situations and soil types are identified adhering to legislative requirements and the application of footings and geomechanical principles. 2.2. Active and passive earth pressure and water pressure applicable to various retaining structures is determined. 2.3. Earth pressures on a gravity retaining wall are determined and analysed according to required structure for stability. |
3. Determine footing design requirements according to situation. | 3.1. Net safe bearing pressure for a footing on a clay soil is calculated without error. 3.2. Allowable bearing pressures for footings on granular soil from in-site penetration test results are calculated without error. 3.3. Long-term consolidation effects for footings on clay soils are analysed and recorded. 3.4. Behaviour of footings on soils under earthquake conditions is researched and documented. |
4. Determine requirements for compaction of soil fill. | 4.1. Maximum soil properties, including dry density and moisture content relationship, for a soil is analysed and recorded. 4.2. Techniques for compaction control and performance of compaction plant in consideration of maintenance requirements are identified and documented. |
