Design log landings and snig tracks

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

Books
Reference books for 'Design log landings and snig tracks' 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

ELEMENTS

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions.

1. Plan landing and recovery requirements

1.1 Analyse workplace health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements, standards and codes of practice for the design, construction and operation of landings and snig tracks.

1.2 Obtain and assess information on logging methods, topography and environmental management considerations for site.

1.3 Identify landing location and construction requirements from harvest plan and inspect site to assess factors affecting operations.

1.4 Identify timeframe for use of site and likely weather conditions.

1.5 Calculate and document log extraction methods and storage requirements for landings, roads, tracks, equipment placement, falling and recovery rates and delivery schedules.

2. Design landing and snig tracks

2.1 Calculate specific landing site size and level to meet operational requirements, optimise construction time and minimise environmental damage.

2.2 Plan number and location of snig tracks to optimise track clearing and construction time, log handling capacity and minimise environmental damage.

2.3 Locate track and road entry points to landing in line with harvest plan, log handling procedures, vehicle and equipment access, turning and loading space requirements.

2.4 Design landing and track to provide for available equipment and access for construction.

2.5 Plan and document restoration of land on completion of operations.

2.6 Document landing design and track locations in line with regulation.

2.7 Record design and development process and report to appropriate personnel.

3. Coordinate landing and track development

3.1 Communicate landing and snig track design and construction plan to site personnel to enable preparation.

3.2 Develop operational procedures for tracks and landings with site personnel.

3.3 Provide technical assistance to site personnel for construction of landing and tracks.

3.4 Monitor construction of landing and tracks; review and modify design to account for unexpected ground, water, vegetation or other environmental conditions.
