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 MSFGG4005, 'Set up, configure, upgrade and troubleshoot glass and glazing plant and ancillary equipment'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Set up, configure, upgrade and troubleshoot glass and glazing plant and ancillary 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
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. | |||
1 | Identify plant set-up requirements | 1.1 | Required specifications for glass processing are identified and interpreted for process application | |
1.2 | Plant machinery and ancillary equipment are identified and checked for safe and effective operation, including emergency stops, gauges, guards and controls | |||
1.3 | Procedures for checking the quality of glass produced, working condition of equipment, and quality requirements for each stage of the process are identified | |||
2 | Set machine/s | 2.1 | Sequence of glass processing operations is determined and plant machine/s set or programmed accordingly | |
2.2 | Plant machine/s and programs are adjusted to meet glass product specifications and operational requirements. | |||
2.3 | Plant pre-start, start-up and set-up procedures are completed in accordance with manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures | |||
3 | Trial program | 3.1 | Plant is operated to process glass, observing all safety procedures | |
3.2 | Sample glass product is checked for compliance with specifications | |||
3.3 | Program editing to change operational sequence, speed and tolerance requirements is undertaken as required to ensure processing conforms to specification | |||
4 | Identify abnormal plant and/or process performance | 4.1 | Tests are conducted to determine if plant machines and ancillary equipment is operating to specification and products produced meet quality standards | |
4.2 | Signs of equipment or product degradation and impending failure are recognised | |||
5 | Identify causes of substandard performance | 5.1 | Maintenance records are examined to ensure that plant machinery and equipment does not require simple maintenance | |
5.2 | Calibration records are accessed and equipment tested to determine if plant is operating within calibration | |||
5.3 | All plant and testing variables are evaluated to identify possible causes of substandard performance and equipment isolated using appropriate elimination techniques | |||
6 | Rectify plant faults | 6.1 | Adjustments or corrections for plant and ancillary equipment are assessed and made as required | |
6.2 | Plant is checked to ensure correct operation | |||
7 | Instruct machine operator | 7.1 | Operator of set-up and programmed plant is instructed on correct operation of the plant ensuring that all safety procedures and devices are in place | |
7.2 | Operator is monitored to ensure plant is operated correctly and remedial instruction provided where necessary | |||
