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

2. Assess condition and set up sharpening equipment | 2.1 Follow organisational safety procedures thoughout all maintenance and repair processes. 2.2 Remove tipped circular saw blades or fit appropriate equipment to be sharpened in machinery. 2.3 Assess cutting performance of blade and determine need to replace or sharpen. 2.4 Assess condition of prior repairs, teeth and straightness of blade. 2.5 Select sharpening machine with suitable wheel diameter and change or dress grinding wheel. 2.6 Adjust machine settings to suit required blade geometry and set blade to manufacturer's recommendations. 2.7 Set up saw while in machine to ensure tooth profile and geometry are maintained. |
3. Sharpen tipped circular saw blade | 3.1 Prepare grinding coolant system in line with manufacturer’s instructions. 3.2 Select saw and grinding wheel angles, speeds and feeds to suit. 3.3 Grind teeth face and gullet to achieve required finish, maintaining original profile and pitch, according to industry standards. 3.4 Ensure variations in tooth height and depth of cut are within industry tolerances for concentricity. 3.5 Set wheel feeds and saw to minimise wear and avoid burn marks. 3.6 Dispose of unservicable tipped circular saw blades in line with environmental protection practices. 3.7 Identify routine processing and equipment faults and resolve or report to appropriate personnel. |
