Construct turf playing surfaces

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

Set out site for construction

4.1

Symbols and terminology are interpreted to ensure the concept of the construction plan is clearly understood according to industry practice

4.2

Boundaries and features contained in the site and construction plans are checked and verified against the actual site and existing features.

4.3

Finishing levels, provision for drainage and irrigation, and drainage head of the site are identified and checked against the construction plan to ensure nominated levels are workable.

4.4

Measurements are checked against the construction plan, the construction area is pegged out, and variances are notified to the supervisor according to enterprise work procedures.

5

Excavate the construction site

5.1

Excess soil is removed and the construction site cleared with the stockpile being placed in a designated area according to enterprise work procedures.

5.2

The base is graded to the level and slope specified in the base design.

5.3

The base of the profile is consolidated to achieve uniform compaction over the entire site according to the construction plan.

5.4

Sub-surface irrigation system components and fittings are installed to the required depth and design specified in the construction plan.

6

Install drainage system

6.1

Drainage trenches are dug to the required depth and design specified in the construction plan.

6.2

Drainage material is laid on the base of the trench, pipes are laid/installed, and trenches are covered according to industry standards.

7

Install soil profile

7.1

Quantities of material required to be spread over the designated area are calculated and measured according to the construction plan.

7.2

Equipment is calibrated according to manufacturers guidelines to distribute the required amount of material over the designated area.
