Establish and maintain surface mining ground control and slope stability systems

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

Books
Reference books for 'Establish and maintain surface mining ground control and slope stability 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

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1.3. If required identify the necessary resources required to assess ground control and slope stability issues

1.4. Review actual and predicted ground control and slope stability performance in the mine

1.5. Establish the criteria for establishing ground control and slope stability to acceptable performance levels

1.6. Assess risks, determine acceptable levels of risk and identify critical issues related to ground control and stability systems in the mine

2. Identify and evaluate geological and geotechnical information

2.1. Identify all relevant geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological data

2.2. Arrange further exploration, monitoring, sampling or testing to assist assessment of ground control and slope stability issues

2.3. Assess potential ground movement and slope instability situations

2.4. Identify and evaluate overburden and inter-seam characteristics and physical properties

2.5. Where appropriate identify and evaluate stress regimes, blast vibration, seismic activity etc

3. Identify and evaluate mining engineering methods

3.1. Evaluate mining system types and methods impact on ground control and slope stability

5.5. Establish a program, including systems and procedures to satisfy identified training requirements

5.6. Establish emergency response and evacuation plans and procedures in accordance with site requirements

5.7. Establish safe operating procedures and ensure incorporation into site documentation

6. Audit and review the effectiveness of the system

6.1. Monitor ground movement and slope stability measurements against defined acceptable standards for compliance with statutory and site requirements

6.2. Audit emergency response and evacuation plans and procedures for compliance with site requirements

6.3. Identify, assess and incorporate future site mining requirements into the planning procedures to maintain appropriate standard of the ground control and slope stability system

6.4. Establish procedures for response to instances of non-compliance or other discrepancies/deficiencies revealed by audit

6.5. Regularly review performance of the ground control and slop stability system
