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 SISOYSA302A, 'Apply enhanced windsurfing skills in moderate conditions'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Apply enhanced windsurfing skills in moderate 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 windsurfing activity. | 1.1. Identify food and water requirements to maintain physiological well being during activity. 1.2. Select an activity site in moderate conditions according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. 1.3. Access relevant sources to interpret weather and environmentalinformation, and determine potential conditions. 1.4. Identify potential hazards within the sailboarding environment and minimise risks. |
2. Select equipment. | 2.1. Identify the relationship between volume and body weight and the limitations of different boards and select a suitable sailboard hull. 2.2. Select equipment and spares according to design and construction features and check working condition. 2.3. Identify and select sail size appropriate for personal use. 2.4. Select clothing suitable for the prevailing and expected moderate conditions. 2.5. Fit and adjust equipment to ensure comfort, safety and suitability. 2.6. Load and attach, where relevant, rig and board to vehicle for transport. |
3. Rig sailboard. | 3.1. Rig the sailboard and adjust boom and head extensions for personal use in the prevailing conditions. 3.2. Fine tune the rig using downhaul, outhaul and battens. 3.3. Tie knots suitable to the windsurfing equipment, and describe their advantages, disadvantages and applications. |
4. Launch and land sailboard. | 4.1. Launch and land the sailboard to and from the beach, with rig and board connected, by lifting stern. 4.2. Uphaul in shallow water and put centreboard down and up while sailing. 4.3. Leave and return to shore on the most advantageous tack, according to prevailing conditions. |
5. Manoeuvre the sailboard. | 5.1. Use sailboard within designated and defined areas according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. 5.2. Steer the sailboard efficiently, using body weight and rig. 5.3. Apply enhanced skills onall points of sail and during manoeuvres, and respond appropriately to wind gusts. 5.4. Adjust centre-board position as required, to improve stability. 5.5. Improve speed through sail and board trim. 5.6. Apply and improve on gybing, freestyle tricks and tacking from close haul by using body weight and rig. 5.7. Manoeuvre around a triangular course and apply the rules of the road. 5.8. Perform turning and emergency stops in restricted areas according to organisational policies and procedures. |
6. Perform rescues. | 6.1. Complete a competent self rescue in 10 knots or more. 6.2. Undertake rescue and towing of another sailor and board upwind. 6.3. Prepare self, rig and sailboard to allow towing by another sailboard and by a boat. 6.4. Apply alternative strategies if self rescue fails according to organisational policies and procedures. |
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. |
