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 ICPPRP269, 'Produce photopolymer plates for pad printing'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Produce photopolymer plates for pad printing' 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 |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 Select plate | 1.1 Job specifications are interpreted to ensure appropriate plate 1.2 Correct plate is selected according to printing requirements and job specifications |
2 Pre-plan process | 2.1 Film positives are flattened to prevent air entrapment 2.2 Any exposure unit is energised for one cycle to warm up UV elements where necessary 2.3 Appropriate screen film positive is selected and checked according to printing requirements |
3 Expose plate | 3.1 Exposure is determined by using a quality control step wedge to establish correct exposure time 3.2 Plate is exposed to standard/established exposure time 3.3 Plate is exposed with screen film positive according to job specifications 3.4 Exposure unit and vacuum frame are maintained according to manufacturer’s specifications |
4 Develop plate | 4.1 Chemistry balance is maintained according to manufacturer’s specifications 4.2 Washout tools are maintained according to manufacturer’s specifications 4.3 Plate is washed out for pre-determined time established by manufacturer and in-house tests |
5 Finish plate | 5.1 Plate is blown-dry by compressed air 5.2 Plate is dried in a drying oven at a temperature and time according to manufacturer’s specifications 5.3 Plate is post-exposed according to manufacturer’s specifications 5.4 Work health and safety (WHS) procedures are observed to ensure a safe working environment when making plates |
6 Establish and maintain a chemical register | 6.1 A chemical register is established to identify and describe purpose of each chemical and to ensure finished plates meet set specifications 6.2 All chemicals used in work place are identified and registered correctly according to safe working practices |
