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 CUACOS508, 'Cut and drape complex period costumes'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books

Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan pattern development | 1.1 Confirm costume design requirements and materials to be used in consultation with relevant personnel 1.2 Conduct research to assist with interpreting costume designs and identifying design elements or components 1.3 Record relevant historical aspects of costume designs 1.4 Take, record and analyse performer’s measurements as the basis for customising proportioning of costume designs 1.5 Identify special costume requirements of performers and performances, and consider the most effective way to achieve creative outcomes 1.6 Document costume specifications 1.7 Produce a plan of action for developing patterns to meet production deadlines |
2. Prepare for draping | 2.1 Prepare dress form or dressmaker’s dummy for draping 2.2 Map costume design proportions on a dress stand 2.3 Select or construct required underpinnings for the dress form 2.4 Determine which parts of the costume design will be draped and which parts will be flat pattern made 2.5 Check size and proportioning of prepared dress form in relation to performer’s size and costume design |
3. Complete draping | 3.1 Select draping fabrics that have similar characteristics to final costume fabrics 3.2 Cut and drape parts of costumes safely, commencing from under-layers and working outwards 3.3 Combine all parts of costumes into test toiles 3.4 Conduct test toile trials and fittings on performers and make adjustments as required 3.5 Use appropriate protocols and seek approvals from costume designers 3.6 Engineer and finalise patterns in line with production schedules |
4. Compile components for costume construction | 4.1 Calculate and record accurate quantities of fabric and notions using test toile, patterns and design specifications 4.2 Source fabric, accessories and other requirements for costume components 4.3 Lay fabrics 4.4 Transfer markings and shapes of patterns or deconstructed toile onto fabrics and cut 4.5 Compile cut pieces and components ready for construction 4.6 Develop a sequence of operations for construction of complex period costumes 4.7 Provide instructions to relevant personnel on construction procedures and timelines |
