Design and create models for a 3-D and digital effects environment

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 ICTGAM514, 'Design and create models for a 3-D and digital effects environment'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Design and create models for a 3-D and digital effects environment' 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. Design and plan a 3-D model

1.1 Research and collect a portfolio of reference material

1.2 Present the portfolio of collected reference material

1.3 Use reference material to develop and design a modelling plan

2. Use suitable geometry surface for models

2.1 Research the different types of geometry to select the most suitable for a 3-D model

2.2 Clearly document the selected geometry choice

2.3 Explain, justify and demonstrate the reasons for the selected geometry choice

2.4 Apply the selected geometry choice to 3-D model

2.5 Make changes to the geometry selection where necessary

3. Analyse the resource material to construct and apply a suitable topology

3.1 Construct and test a topology plan using chosen concept development software

3.2 Explain or demonstrate the reason for choosing a particular modelling method

3.3 Assess and refine the topology plan with the client and relevant personnel

4. Construct a 3-D model

4.1 Use a modelling plan to construct the model, in the chosen 3-D modelling and animation software

4.2 Build the model, according to specifications

4.3 Present the near-finished product to the relevant personnel

4.4 Accept feedback to incorporate into the final design

4.5 Assess and refine the model with clients and the relevant personnel

4.6 Compose a report on the experience of working on a 3-D model
