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 MSS015011, 'Conduct a sustainability energy audit'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Conduct a sustainability energy audit' 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 all sources and uses of energy in process | 1.1 | Identify all sources of energy external to the site. |
1.2 | Identify all sources of energy within the site. | ||
1.3 | Identify all uses of energy by process unit. | ||
1.4 | Identify energy type and intensity required by each process unit. | ||
2 | Calculate theoretical use of energy | 2.1 | Calculate theoretical net use of energy by type and intensity for each process unit. |
2.2 | Calculate overall energy balance for process/site. | ||
2.3 | Evaluate the need for energy consumption by process and units within the process compared to alternative processes/units. | ||
3 | Measure actual use of energy | 3.1 | Determine actual net energy use for overall process/site. |
3.2 | Determine actual net energy use for each process unit. | ||
3.3 | Calculate difference between theoretical and actual energy use by unit and overall. | ||
3.4 | Identify actual energy type used by each process unit. | ||
4 | Develop strategies for reducing the use of energy | 4.1 | Rank units by difference between theoretical and actual energy use. |
4.2 | Rank units by actual energy use. | ||
4.3 | Identify units using higher intensity energy than required. | ||
4.4 | Develop strategies to reduce energy consumption and/or use lower intensity energy. | ||
5 | Prepare a recommendation for an energy use reduction strategy | 5.1 | Consult with key stakeholders. |
5.2 | Identify strategies required to meet regulatory or similar requirements. | ||
5.3 | Rank strategies by benefit/cost ratio. | ||
5.4 | Short-list preferred energy reduction strategies. | ||
5.5 | Prepare recommendation for improving energy usage. | ||
