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 CUVDES405A, 'Research and apply techniques in spatial design'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Research and apply techniques in spatial design' 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. Interpret spatial design briefs | 1.1 Interpret the specifications of design briefs 1.2 Take user or client requirements into account when making decisions about spatial design work 1.3 Clarify issues about specifications, parameters and constraints with relevant people as required 1.4 Source and evaluate information pertinent to briefs |
2. Organise resources for spatial design | 2.1 Identify resources required to develop spatial design models, including work space, tools and equipment 2.2 Prepare and care for resources according to requirements 2.3 Follow storage and inventory procedures |
3. Test spatial design approaches | 3.1 Produce preliminary visual representations 3.2 Identify possible approaches and establish criteria for selecting final approach 3.3 Select appropriate materials, tools and equipment and test approaches and techniques 3.4 Evaluate testing processes against criteria and select the approach that best meets the requirements of briefs 3.5 Critique own work and seek feedback as required 3.6 Refine and document the approach to spatial design work based on testing and evaluation |
4. Fabricate spatial design models or maquettes | 4.1 Evaluate the need for fabrication and the scope of work required 4.2 Select and organise materials, tools and equipment for fabrication according to design approach 4.3 Safely make models or maquettes ensuring consistency with design concepts and briefs 4.4 Respond positively to feedback and refine work as required 4.5 Present models or maquettes within agreed timeframes |
