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 CUFANM01A, 'Develop and implement designs for animation'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Develop and implement designs for animation' 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

3.2 | Assess ideas and collaborate, as required, with relevant personnel to ensure contribution of ideas to the initial concept | ||
3.3 | Continuously reflect on and appraise ideas for implications on cost, technical feasibility, and suitability to meet the brief | ||
4 | Conduct research and experimentation | 4.1 | Research the period, style and genre of the production |
4.2 | Identify the historical and cultural factors that might influence animation styles and production techniques | ||
4.3 | Undertake research into the style and location of the production, materials and human resources necessary to fulfil the production requirements and their cost | ||
4.4 | Trial various techniques to test the suitability of their use in the final production of the animation elements, including: colour mixes; textures; materials | ||
4.5 | Organise research and experimentation material for ease of use of all relevant personnel during the design development process | ||
4.6 | Analyse and document research and experimentation findings for use during the development of the animation design | ||
4.7 | Evaluate the initial concepts generated, against the research and experimentation findings | ||
5 | Develop and document the animation design | 5.1 | Establish or maintain an accessible recording system for the use of all relevant personnel, to include: ; specialist services available for production of the animation; reference/research materials; draft and final animation designs; production details and specifications |
5.2 | Hold ongoing discussions with relevant personnel so that additional or changed production requirements and new ideas are considered and incorporated during the development of the design | ||
5.3 | Ensure that agreement is reached with relevant personnel on a consistent interpretation of characters, style and graphic or visual details | ||
5.4 | Evaluate initial concepts and select the most appropriate idea, giving consideration to: | ||
5.5 | the budget | ||
5.6 | ongoing discussions | ||
5.7 | research findings | ||
5.8 | ongoing reflection on the design brief | ||
5.9 | Develop the animation designs from the initial concepts ensuring: | ||
5.10 | consistency with the style requirements of the script/production | ||
5.11 | that research findings are incorporated | ||
5.12 | that ideas are technically feasible and demonstrate awareness of parameters and resource constraints | ||
