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 RTF3204A, 'Construct concrete structures and features'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Construct concrete structures and features' 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 | Plan and prepare work | 1.1 | Plans and specifications are interpreted and clarified with the supervisor. |
1.2 | The quantity and quality of materials are checked to ensure they conform to design drawings and specifications. | ||
1.3 | Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability according to enterprise guidelines. | ||
1.4 | OHS hazards are identified, risks assessed and controls implemented. | ||
1.5 | Environmental implications of constructing concrete structures are identified and reported to the supervisor. | ||
2 | Set out and prepare the site | 2.1 | Services are determined and located from site plans. |
2.2 | The position of the structure or feature is marked out according to design drawings and specifications. | ||
2.3 | Profiles are established to conform to the tolerances nominated within the design drawings and specifications. | ||
2.4 | Subsoil is prepared by removing all debris, vegetable matter and topsoil to provide a solid foundation for concrete. | ||
2.5 | Drainage systems are installed according to design drawings and specifications. | ||
2.6 | Form work is installed to the site in a manner that will ensure it remains rigid during concrete pouring operations. | ||
