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 MEA717, 'Evaluate avionic digital systems'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Evaluate avionic digital systems' 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
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. | ||
1. | Prepare to evaluate avionic digital system | 1.1 | Confirm and apply safe electrical working practice |
1.2 | Review the effects of electricity on humans and identify dangerous high currents and voltages and regulatory requirements related to extra low, low and high voltage applications and relate these to aircraft digital system operation and maintenance | ||
1.3 | Determine parameters and context of applications and purpose of evaluation | ||
1.4 | Confirm personal functions and responsibilities, team and support functional group interdependencies and communications | ||
1.5 | Confirm that tasks and responsibilities are appropriate to qualifications and delegations and that appropriate support, including technical and professional assistance, is available | ||
1.6 | Determine chain of responsibility for the activity evaluation, reporting arrangements and timelines | ||
1.7 | Identify work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements with particular emphasis on safety, codes of practice, performance requirements and standards, including airworthiness regulatory requirements for avionic systems, risk management and organisational procedures | ||
2. | Identify principles and techniques required for evaluation of avionic digital system and system components | 2.1 | Identify features and functions of avionic digital systems and components |
2.2 | Review avionic digital system design and layout requirements and techniques | ||
2.3 | Identify system power requirements and interfaces with aircraft and avionic analogue systems | ||
2.4 | Identify electro-magnetic interference protection requirements | ||
3. | Evaluate avionic digital system and system components | 3.1 | Evaluate proposed modifications to avionic digital systems, system components and software |
3.2 | Evaluate avionic digital system and system component maintenance requirements | ||
3.3 | Evaluate avionic digital systems and system component reliability and defect history | ||
3.4 | Evaluate proposed component and piece part substitution | ||
3.5 | Evaluate application for compliance with WHS Acts, regulations, codes, directives and standards/specifications, including those related to risk management | ||
4. | Report results | 4.1 | Report results of scoping, principles and techniques identification and evaluation of applications |
4.2 | Provide documentation, such as system schematics, software, wiring diagrams and data required by CM and/or ILS, and for compliance with airworthiness regulations | ||
