Manage stability of a vessel 500 gross tonnage or more

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

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

Manage vessel trim under normal operating conditions

1.1

Stability analysis and weight distribution planning are conducted at a time frequency and scope appropriate to the proposed nature of the voyage and vessel operation

1.2

Weight distribution is arranged to maintain vessel within acceptable stability limits for the anticipated operational situations likely to be experienced during the voyage

1.3

Calculations are made to determine the draught and centre of gravity of vessel after adding, removing or shifting weight

1.4

Factors affecting the stability and trim of vessel are identified and allowances are made in calculations

1.5

Trim, draughts and list of vessel are controlled as required to ensure they are suitable to progress all anticipated vessel operations

2

Control vessel stability when compartment is flooded

2.1

Damage to vessel and nature of floodingof compartments is assessed

2.2

Effect upon vessel stability of flooded and flooding compartments is evaluated

2.3

Suitable strategyfor maintaining or restoring trim and stability is devised

2.4

Where stress limits of the vessel are exceeded as a consequence of damage and/or flooding, appropriate action is initiated to ensure safety of personnel, including abandoning the vessel as required

3

Manage stress conditions of the vessel

3.1

Stress levels of the vessel are assessed according to manufacturer specifications

3.2

Stability of the vessel is monitored at a frequency and scope relevant to vessel operations, sufficient to enable stress and stability to be maintained within acceptable limits at all times

3.3

Appropriate action is taken where weight distribution has or could exceed acceptable safety limits

4

Maintain records of stability management

4.1

Data and information related to stability management is accurately recorded

4.2

Data and information related to stability management is filed and stored according to organisational procedures
