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 CPPSIS5028A, 'Conduct geodetic surveying'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Conduct geodetic surveying' 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 | ||||
1Organise project resources for geodetic surveying. | 1.1 Geodetic surveying task objectives are defined. 1.2 Characteristics of the operating environment and any special equipment or resource requirements are identified according to organisational guidelines. 1.3 Higher authority endorsements are obtained where necessary to ensure resources and equipment operation comply with project specifications and organisational priorities. 1.4 Equipment is checked to be in good working order, according to manufacturer specifications. | ||||
1.5 Project objectives comply with relevant legislation and company policy. 1.6 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in geodetic surveying. | |||||
2Plan geodetic surveying. | 2.1 Project objectives, principal work activities and constraints are defined and documented according to surveying data specification and client requirements. 2.2 Design is interpreted to identify surveying data. 2.3 Relevant reference surface and projection plane are selected for the geodetic components. 2.4 Requirements for survey control, including precise traverse, allowable angle, linear miscloses, triangulation and modern technology are determined. 2.5 Trigonometrical heighting and calculations are conducted using appropriate formulae. 2.6 Appropriate items or equipment required to carry out a precise EDM traversing are used to establish survey control. 2.7 Agreed communication processes between project, client and other stakeholders are implemented and maintained. 2.8 OHS and legislative requirements are incorporated into project risk management. 2.9 Pertinent legal and statutory standards are researched, considered and adhered to. | ||||
3Manage and monitor the project. | 3.1 Work is scheduled and allocated to be completed within time available. 3.2 Project management mechanisms are implemented to measure, record and report progress of activities in relation to the agreed schedule and plans. 3.3 Identified surveying components are accurately measured. 3.4 Measured surveying data is reduced to project surveying reference system for comparison with design. 3.5 Measurements are validated and recorded according to project specifications. 3.6 Agreed communication processes between project, client and other stakeholders are implemented and maintained. 3.7 Contingencies and constraints are managed to ensure project meets specifications. 3.8 OHS requirements are adhered to throughout the survey. 3.9 Quality assurance processes are implemented based on the project plan. | ||||
4Finalise the project. | 4.1 Relevant personnel are informed of the results according to organisational guidelines. 4.2 Required documentation is completed according to organisational guidelines. 4.3 Surveying data is archived according to project and organisational specifications. | ||||
