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 FPISAW3213B, 'Level and tension circular saws'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Level and tension circular saws' 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. Prepare for repair | 1.1. Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to levelling and tensioning circular saws are identified and followed 1.2. Work order is reviewed and checked with appropriate personnel 1.3. Equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer's recommendations 1.4. Levelling and tensioning process is planned in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 1.5. Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements |
2. Assess saw condition | 2.1. Saws are handled safely without damage to teeth 2.2. Foreign material built up on saw surfaces is cleaned for inspection 2.3. Saw is inspected to assess condition of teeth and saw plate 2.4. Saw is declared unserviceable where hazardous defects are found 2.5. Unserviceable saws are segregated and disposed of in line with site procedures, manufacturer's requirements and environmental requirements |
3. Level saw | 3.1. Radial and circular ridges or lumps are assessed and matched on both sides of the blade 3.2. Gauges and straight edges are used in both radial and circular directions and monitored for accuracy 3.3. Ridges or lumps are progressively removed through levelling, the use of structure rolls or levelling rolls to achieve flatness 3.4. Hammering and rolling patterns are controlled to reduce internal blade stresses to avoid spring-back and re-occurrence of defects |
4. Tension saw | 4.1. Consistency of blade curvature is assessed with a straight edge or tension gauge 4.2. Tension requirements are determined from assessment of curvature consistency and curvature required for site production requirements 4.3. Blade is tensioned using appropriate tools and equipment in line with required standard 4.4. Final checks are made to ensure tension amount, distribution, placement and level in line with site production requirements 4.5. Saws damaged in the levelling and tensioning process are repaired/sent for repair and those that cannot be repaired are disposed of in line with site procedures, manufacturer's recommendations and environmental requirements 4.6. Levelling and tensioning process and equipment faults are investigated, recorded and reported in line with site requirements |
