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 SISOYSA201A, 'Demonstrate basic sailboarding skills in controlled conditions'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Demonstrate basic sailboarding skills in controlled conditions' 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 sailboarding activity. | 1.1. Ensure sufficient food and water is available to maintain physiological well being during activity. 1.2. Select an activity site in controlled conditions according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. 1.3. Access relevant sources to interpret weather and environmental information. 1.4. Identify potential hazards within the sailboarding environment and minimise risks as advised by the supervisor. |
2. Select equipment. | 2.1. Select sailboard and equipment according to design and construction features and check working condition. 2.2. Identify and select sail size appropriate for personal use. 2.3. Select clothing suitable for the prevailing and expected conditions. 2.4. Fit and adjust equipment to ensure comfort, safety and suitability. 2.5. Load and attach, where relevant, rig and board to vehicle for transport. |
3. Rig sailboard. | 3.1. Identify main parts of the board and main parts of the rig. 3.2. Rig sailboard, using correct tension, boom heights and adjustments and tie off loose ends according to organisational policies and procedures. 3.3. Carry the rig and board to the launch site separately, in a manner that minimises damage, and attach for sailing. |
4. Launch and land sailboard. | 4.1. Determine wind direction to enable easy launching. 4.2. Maintain stability while launching and landing the sailboard. 4.3. Adopt position on the board, with one foot on either side of the mast, evenly spaced and on the centre line. 4.4. Uphaul the sailboard 4.5. Maintain a stable neutral position. |
5. Manoeuvre the sailboard. | 5.1. Use sailboard within designated and defined areas according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. 5.2. Determine sailing direction and move off, on a beam reach, at right angles to the wind, using the crossover technique and correct stance. 5.3. Control power by easing the sheet hand. 5.4. Steer and turn the sailboard by leaning the rig forward over the bow and backward over the stern. 5.5. Use tacking and close hauling to achieve an upwind goal. 5.6. Manoeuvre the sailboard around a triangular course using all basic skills to points of sail and rules of the road. 5.7. Perform emergency stops to avoid collision and implement strategies to avoid head injury when falling windward according to organisational policies and procedures. |
6. Perform rescues. | 6.1. Identify reasons for self-rescue and complete a full self rescue according to organisational policies and procedures. 6.2. Identify alternate rescue strategies if self rescue fails. |
7. Maintain and repair equipment. | 7.1. Return sailboard to storage area or vehicle and stow in a manner to minimise damage according to organisational policies and procedures. 7.2. Identify and conduct routine inspection and maintenance tasks according to organisational policies and procedures. |
8. Evaluate sailboarding activity. | 8.1. Evaluate relevant aspects of the activity. 8.2. Identify improvements for future sailboarding experiences. |
