Design a spatial data storage system

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 CPPSIS5043A, 'Design a spatial data storage system'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Design a spatial data storage system' 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

1

Determine functional requirements.

1.1

User needs are determined according to organisational requirements.

1.2

An audit of existing spatial data sources is conducted to determine their suitability, useability, spatial data dependencies and adaptability.

1.3

Requirements are recorded according to organisational guidelines.

1.4

Feasibility of requirements is assessed against organisational budget, resources and priorities.

2

Create and test system design.

2.1

A plan is developed based on functional requirements detailing spatial data flow dependencies.

2.2

Appropriate spatial data storage environment is determined according to spatial data requirements and organisational resources.

2.3

A schedule for the introduction of the system is developed and communicated to users.

2.4

A prototype is created and tested or a standard format adopted to confirm that design meets functional requirements.

3

Formalise design acceptance.

3.1

Relevant personnel are consulted and negotiated with to determine final design documentation.

3.2

Final design documentation is created according to organisational guidelines.

3.3

Acceptance is obtained from all stakeholders as appropriate.

4

Review the suitability of the spatial data storage system.

4.1

Users are canvassed regarding the effectiveness of the spatial data storage system to identify changes needed.

4.2

Feedback is analysed and appropriate changes are implemented.
