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 MEM18054B, 'Fault find, test and calibrate instrumentation systems and equipment'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Fault find, test and calibrate instrumentation systems and equipment' 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 |
1. Test instrumentation systems and equipment | 1.1. Work/test requirements are identified and defined to standard operating procedures. 1.2. Correct test application principles are selected after inspection of instrumentation systems, equipment/components. 1.3. Appropriate test equipment is selected in accordance with defined requirements. 1.4. Device isolation methods/requirements are observed and localised. 1.5. Appropriate test procedures and application principles are applied in assessing operation of instrumentation systems, equipment/components. 1.6. Normal operating characteristics of instrumentation systems, equipment/components are applied to the level necessary to identify and localise faults. 1.7. Characteristics/operational function assessment procedures are applied according to safety and regulatory/site specifications. 1.8. Characteristics and operational function is checked and verified. |
2. Apply data collection techniques and localise fault conditions | 2.1. Drawings/diagrams and operational specifications are utilised in identifying and localising fault conditions. 2.2. Where appropriate, built-in fault indicators, error codes are examined and correctly interpreted and results are recorded to standard operating procedures. 2.3. Fault condition is localised to major component level using appropriate test equipment principles and procedures. |
3. Analyse and report test results | 3.1. Test results are analysed/verified against operational specifications and localised faults are confirmed. 3.2. Potential and real faults are reported using standard operating procedures. 3.3. Faulty conditions are evaluated and corrective action is planned. 3.4. Action plan is recorded and documented according to standard operating procedures. |
4. Calibrate instrumentation equipment/components | 4.1. Zero, span and range checks are undertaken on indicators/controllers using correct and appropriate configuration. 4.2. Where applicable, methods of adjustment using calibration devices are performed and documented to prescribed procedures and operational specifications. |
