Perform standard calibrations

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 describe the essential outcomes.

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

1

Prepare items for calibration

1.1

Select the authorised calibration procedure in accordance with workplace procedures

1.2

Identify hazards and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), safety equipment and procedures

1.3

Confirm all measuring equipment meets the laboratory's specification requirements and complies fully with the calibration procedure

1.4

Assemble and set up specified reference standards and associated equipment prior to testing

1.5

Verify performance of reference standards and measuring equipment prior to use and adjust or calibrate as necessary

1.6

Identify and minimise potential sources of measurement error

2

Perform calibration

2.1

Perform individual tests without variance according to the documented procedure to ensure repeatability of measurement

2.2

Confirm readings are the result of a valid measurement and record data as required (as-found or before adjustment)

2.3

Adjust device under test to bring readings within specification and record data (as-left or after adjustment) where required

2.4

Analyse resulting test data to detect trends or inconsistencies that would significantly affect the accuracy or validity of test results

2.5

Seek appropriate advice when interpretation of results is outside authorised scope of approval

3

Document results

3.1

Estimate and document uncertainty of measurement in accordance with workplace procedures, where required

3.2

Document compliance/non-compliance with test requirements and/or specifications

3.3

Record the results of each test/calibration accurately, unambiguously and objectively

3.4

Ensure confidentiality of workplace information

4

Finalise calibration

4.1

Prepare and issue a final report on the job/item detailing testing carried out, traceability, statement of compliance and relevant information as required

4.2

Report any non-compliance and verify next course of action with supervisor

4.3

Attach calibration labels, equipment stickers, quality control tags and tamper resistant seals as required in workplace procedures

4.4

Store test equipment/measurement standards and results in accordance with workplace procedures
