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 RIIMEX602D, 'Establish and maintain surface mining ground control and slope stability systems'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- 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
1. Plan and prepare to establish and maintain surface mining ground control and slope stability systems | 1.1 Access, interpret and apply surface mining ground control and slope stability systems documentation and ensure the work activity is compliant 1.2 Obtain, read, interpret, clarify and confirm work requirements 1.3 Identify and address potential risks, hazards and environmental issues and implement control measures 1.4 Select and wear personal protective equipment appropriate for work activities 1.5 Identify, access and interpret mine survey data and historical information 1.6 Identify the necessary resources to assess ground control and slope stability issues 1.7 Review actual and predicted ground control and slope stability performance in the mine 1.8 Identify the criteria for establishing ground control and slope stability to acceptable performance levels |
2. Identify and evaluate geological and geotechnical information | 2.1 Identify, interpret and confirm all relevant geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological data 2.2 Coordinate further exploration, monitoring, sampling or testing to assist assessment of ground control and slope stability issues 2.3 Identify and assess potential ground movement and slope instability situations 2.4 Identify and evaluate overburden and inter-seam characteristics and physical properties 2.5 Identify, confirm and evaluate stress regimes, blast vibration and seismic activity |
3. Identify and evaluate mining engineering methods | 3.1 Evaluate the impact of mining system types and methods on ground control and slope stability 3.2 Identify and assess layouts to improve ground control and slope stability from engineering analysis 3.3 Identify and evaluate mining constraints impacting on the development of ground control and slope stability options 3.4 Identify and evaluate equipment requirements |
4. Identify and evaluate control options | 4.1 Identify water control methods to improve ground control or slope stability 4.2 Identify, evaluate and clarify ground support systems or methods of mining to provide appropriate ground control and slope stability 4.3 Identify and evaluate ground support installation, monitoring and assessment systems 4.4 Identify and evaluate management controls for unacceptable ground movement or slope instability |
5. Establish the ground control and slope stability system | 5.1 Establish exploration programs identifying geological features and characteristics impacting on ground control and slope stability 5.2 Investigate, confirm and establish safe access and egress methods 5.3 Establish systems and sequences of safe mining 5.4 Establish monitoring systems of ground movement and slope instability to warn, control operations and record events 5.5 Prepare and implement training plans and programs 5.6 Investigate, confirm and establish emergency response and evacuation plans and procedures 5.7 Identify, confirm, establish and implement safe operating procedures |
6. Audit and review the effectiveness of the system | 6.1 Monitor ground movement and slope stability measurements against defined acceptable standards 6.2 Audit emergency response and evacuation plans and procedures 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 systems 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 slope stability system |
