Use bridge equipment to determine vessel position

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

1

Set up bridge equipment

1.1

Bridge equipment is initialised and displays are set up and maintained

Operational performance and accuracy of bridge equipment is confirmed and appropriate action is taken when performance is out of limits

1.3

Any false echoes and misrepresentations are detected, identified and rejected

2

Use radar to safely navigate

2.1

Radar is operated according to manufacturer instructions to produce data on position of vessel, other vessels and fixed objects

2.2

Radar plot is constructed on radar plotting sheet and automatic plotting devices are initialised

2.3

Systematic radar observations of vessels in the vicinity are made and risk of collision is determined

2.4

Radar data is used to obtain a position fix for vessel using electronic bearing lines and variable range markers

2.5

Radar bearings are corrected for vessel heading and compass error as appropriate

2.6

Adjustments are made to vessel course and speed to maintain safety of navigation

2.7

Manoeuvring signals are made at appropriate time according to regulations

3

Use bridge equipment to safely navigate

3.1

Bridge equipment is safely and efficiently used to conduct navigation of vessel

3.2

Position of vessel is monitored during voyage to ensure planned passage is followed

3.3

Movements of vessels in the vicinity are monitored to ensure collision situations do not occur

3.4

Adjustments are made to vessel course and speed to maintain safety of navigation

3.5

Manoeuvring signals are made at appropriate time according to regulations

3.6

Bridge equipment is maintained according to manufacturer requirements and organisational procedures

4

Maintain navigational records

4.1

Navigational data produced by bridge equipment that should be retained to conform with organisational procedures and regulatory requirements is identified

4.2

Navigational data is stored electronically or in hard copy as required by organisational procedures and regulatory requirements

4.3

Security and access requirements for data are adhered to according to organisational procedures
