Plan spatial data collection and validation

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

1.3 A site assessment is conducted when necessary to clarify the acquisition requirements, and outcomes are recorded according to organisational guidelines.

1.4 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in spatial data acquisition requirements.

2Evaluate available collection options.

2.1 Assessment of technical, financial, legal and resource implications of each available collection option is conducted to ensure preferred option meets written data specifications.

2.2 Preferred option is selected on the basis of client needs and organisational capability and priorities.

2.3 OHS issues are considered at all times.

2.4 Assessment process is documented according to organisational guidelines.

3Develop spatial data collection and validation plan.

3.1 Project objectives, deliverables, constraints and principal work activities are defined and documented according to the written specifications.

3.2 Identified risks, contingencies and resources, as well as full details of technology and techniques to be used to collect the spatial data in the specified format, are included in the plan.
