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 FDFTEC5002A, 'Manage utilities and energy for a production process'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Manage utilities and energy for a production process' 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 |
1. Assess utility and energy requirements | 1.1. Energy and utility requirements for a given production facility are estimated 1.2. Estimates of requirements take account of historical patterns of use and forecast production volumes |
2. Identify suppliers of energy and utilities | 2.1. Existing and potential suppliers of energy and utilities are identified 2.2. Environmental costs and benefits associated with supply are identified and considered in supply criteria 2.3. Criteria for selection of suppliers is established and applied 2.4. Suppliers capable of meeting supply criteria are selected 2.5. Contingency procedures are reviewed or developed in the event of failure of supply |
3. Monitor energy and utility use against budget | 3.1. Use of energy and utilities is measured and recorded 3.2. Usage patterns are analysed against performance standards and budget allocations 3.3. Cost-effective options for balancing the scheduling requirements for production with containment of energy and utility costs are identified, assessed and implemented within level of responsibility |
4. Contribute to the more efficient use of energy and utilities | 4.1. Energy and utility losses or sources of waste are identified 4.2. Opportunities to improve efficient energy/utility application are identified, investigated and reported 4.3. Consultative mechanisms are established and/or reviewed to support continuous improvement and communicate information on energy and utility efficiency and related procedures |
