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 ICTOPN504, 'Test and commission a dense wavelength division multiplexing transmission system'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Test and commission a dense wavelength division multiplexing transmission system' 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. Prepare to commission DWDM transmission system | 1.1 Implement hazard risk control measures 1.2 Review system specifications and technical data by identifying system operating parameters 1.3 Obtain and check tools and test equipment needed for the work 1.4 Verify all necessary equipment is installed, and circuit cards and filler cards are correctly located and seated 1.5 Check interconnecting fibres to optical multiplexers and shelves are intact and correctly routed 1.6 Establish communication between computer and DWDM shelf 1.7 Upload latest software release to each DWDM shelf in the network |
2. Commission DWDM transmission system | 2.1 Connect an optical test set and a physical optical loopback to the system, and select protocol compatible with DWDM hardware 2.2 Check connection status and that test set data is passing correctly 2.3 Monitor quality of received signal by setting performance monitoring (PM) features and retrieve PM counts 2.4 Verify no errors are counted by the test set during a long term stability test while customer input signal is set to the worst case (minimum) power level 2.5 Verify no alarms are generated during long term stability test period 2.6 Dispose of antistatic packaging to minimise environmental impact |
3. Complete test and commissioning documentation | 3.1 Finalise documentation on commissioning test results 3.2 Present results to appropriate person according to established procedures |
