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 FWPTMM5201, 'Assess product feasibility of designs'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Assess product feasibility of designs' 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 describe the essential outcomes. | 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. Analyse design objectives | 1.1 Identify design purpose and investigate potential market for the product. 1.2 Analyse intended production materials and processes. |
2. Determine design assessment criteria | 2.1 Establish criteria for assessment of product material options. 2.2 Establish criteria for assessment of product functionality. 2.3 Establish criteria for assessment of production process options considering impact of these on production operations. 2.4 Establish criteria for assessment of safety and potential liability issues. 2.5 Establish criteria for assessment of costs and marketability. 2.6 Determine weighting of scores for each criteria according to importance of issue. |
3. Apply the assessment criteria | 3.1 Select potential and actual products competing in the market place for comparative purposes. 3.2 Score and grade design against established criteria and record results. 3.3 Score and grade competing products against established criteria and record results. 3.4 Record overall assessment results. |
4. Establish feasibility and options | 4.1 Analyse assessment results for the design and competing products. 4.2 Reject designs which show poor assessment results and provide no potential for variation. 4.3 Identify designs which show poor assessment results but provide potential options for variation; refer to appropriate personnel. 4.4 Identify designs which satisfy criteria and indicate potential for success. 4.5 Conditionally endorse feasible designs, record conditions and refer to appropriate personnel. 4.6 Record assessment outcomes, maintain and process reports in line with organisational procedures. |
