Design complex floristry products

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 SFLDEC003, 'Design complex floristry products'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Design complex floristry products' 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

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Determine product style and construction requirements.

1.1 Generate initial design ideas for product style considering product function, brief and budget.

1.2 Apply elements and principles of design when generating initial and ongoing design ideas until final product plans are achieved.

1.3 Itemise and analyse all proposed product components.

1.4 Identify potential problems for product construction, analyse and consider solutions.

1.5 Assess self and organisation’s capability to construct proposed product and identify additional required resources.

2. Develop and assess concepts.

2.1 Develop a range of design concepts and provide creative solutions for constructing the floristry product.

2.2 Assess concepts and collaborate with relevant personnel to maximise contribution of ideas to concepts.

2.3 Review and assess design concepts for implications on technical feasibility, cost, style and function of floristry product.

2.4 Research current and emerging technologies, market and design trends in floristry and incorporate additional concepts into the floral design.

2.5 Create notes, plans and sketches of all concepts.

3. Experiment with concepts.

3.1 Select and experiment with differing flower and plant materials considering and applying elements and principles of design.

3.2 Test and experiment with different style concepts considering and applying elements and principles of design.

3.3 Test and experiment with construction materials, techniques and ancillary items considering and applying elements and principles of design.

3.4 Test and experiment with presentation materials to enhance floristry product considering and applying elements and principles of design.

3.5 Consider practices to minimise negative environmental impact from use of materials and techniques.

3.6 Maintain accurate records of all designs produced during experimentation process.

4. Evaluate and record the floral design.

4.1 Evaluate design concepts to ensure product is consistent with creative and budgetary requirements and incorporates all required component elements.

4.2 Consider different design concepts subjected to experimentation and their technical feasibility; select best product style and technique for construction.

4.3 Develop job specifications for use during construction phase.

4.4 Evaluate own performance in the design process and note areas for future self-improvement.
