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 ICTPRG413, 'Use a library or pre-existing components'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Use a library or pre-existing components' 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. Identify potential re-use units | 1.1 Analyse the project design and functionality, to identify re-use components 1.2 Source re-use components with the desired functionality |
2. Evaluate re-use components for suitability in parent project | 2.1 Evaluate the re-use component, or libraries, for suitability for use within the parent software project 2.2 Compare the functionality of each potential re-use component to the functionality required by the parent project 2.3 Evaluate the cost of implementing the re-use component 2.4 Consider the technical impact on the parent project design 2.5 Consider re-use component vendor licensing issues 2.6 Finalise the selection of re-use components 2.7 Document selection, evaluation and decision processes, as part of the parent project design documentation |
3. Incorporate the re-use components | 3.1 Configure the development environment to include re-use components during the build process 3.2 Construct test programs or use provided example programs, to become familiar with re-use components, in preparation for incorporation into the parent project 3.3 Add re-use components to the parent project incrementally 3.4 Resolve re-use component dependencies 3.5 Assemble and test the parent project, with a focus on the functionality provided by the re-use components |
