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 ICTTEN515, 'Dimension and design a radio frequency identification system'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Dimension and design a radio frequency identification 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 dimension and design an RFID system | 1.1 Obtain the client’s business requirements of the intended RFID system to effectively inform the new design 1.2 Research RFID technologies, their functionalities and different implementations of configurations 1.3 Select suitable software and hardware types to ensure the proposed system is designed to meet business requirements 1.4 Conduct a survey of available interrogators or readers, tags and wireless units |
2. Dimension and design RFID system | 2.1 Select the most appropriate interrogators or readers for the given specification to ensure their compatibility with current network infrastructure, if applicable 2.2 Minimise interrogator to interrogator interference 2.3 Verify antenna geometry and footprint are consistent with the chosen design 2.4 Minimise sources of interference 2.5 Incorporate use of anti-collision protocols into the RFID design 2.6 Customise appropriate tag to client requirements 2.7 Predict performance for read distance, write distance and tag response time to confirm these conform with client requirements 2.8 Select optimal locations for an RFID tag to be placed on an item 2.9 Prepare a design proposal for the RFID system including specifications 2.10 Prepare a report containing design solutions and recommendations of preferred products, including justification for recommendations 2.11 Submit report to client for approval |
3. Document specified design | 3.1 Complete documentation according to client requirements 3.2 Inform client of standards applying to the design 3.3 Secure sign-off of RFID design from appropriate person |
