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 SISOMBK201A, 'Demonstrate basic off-road cycling skills'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Demonstrate basic off-road cycling skills' 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 |
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the Evidence Guide. |
1. Plan for the off-road ride. | 1.1. Identify food and water requirements according to principles of nutrition, ride duration and what is able to be carried on a cyclist. 1.2. Select routes that minimise damage to the environment according to contextual issues, relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. 1.3. Identify potential hazards and obstacles associated with off-road cycling and procedures to minimise risks. |
2. Select and check equipment. | 2.1. Select and set up a bicycle ensuring it is correctly proportioned according to rider and terrain requirements. 2.2. Select off-road cycling equipment and protective clothing and footwear according to expected weather conditions. 2.3. Use spares and tools to perform routine checks and maintenance on the bicycle. 2.4. Identify comfort items to improve ride. 2.5. Load an off-road bicycle on to a vehicle, where required. |
3. Apply basic off-road cycling skills. | 3.1. Adopt a comfortable cadence for the terrain encountered to enable safe and efficient riding skills. 3.2. Maintain a straight line when riding on straight gravel roads. 3.3. Adopt correct posture for descents, uphill riding and bumps, potholes, ruts, rocks, logs, man-made objects. 3.4. Navigate route and apply efficient cornering techniques. 3.5. Adjust tyre pressure according to the terrain and organisational policies and procedures. 3.6. Survey track to identify and negotiate hazards and obstacles, minimise risks and take measures to guard personal and group safety. 3.7. Conduct routine and non-routine bicycle maintenance checks and repairs. |
4. Evaluate the cycling activity. | 4.1. Evaluate relevant aspects of the off-road cycling activity. 4.2. Identify improvements for future off-road cycling activities. |
