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 TDMMA1007B, 'CONTROL TRIM, STABILITY AND STRESS'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'CONTROL TRIM, STABILITY AND STRESS' 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 | Control the trim and stability of a vessel under normal operating conditions | a | Stability analysis and weight distribution planning are conducted at a time, frequency and scope appropriate to the proposed nature of the voyage or vessel operation | |
b | Weight distribution is organised to maintain the vessel within acceptable stability limits for anticipated operation situations likely to be experienced during the voyage | |||
c | Calculations are made to determine the draught and centre of gravity of the vessel after adding, removing or shifting weight | |||
d | Trim, draughts and list of the vessel are controlled as required to ensure they are suitable to progress all anticipated vessel operations | |||
2 | Control the trim and stability of a vessel in the event of damage and consequent flooding | a | Damage to the vessel and the nature of flooding of compartments is promptly assessed | |
b | The effects upon vessel stability of flooded and flooding compartments is evaluated | |||
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA | |||
2 | Control the trim and stability of a vessel in the event of damage and consequent flooding (continued) | c | A suitably strategy for maintaining or restoring trim and stability is devised | |
d | Where stress limits of a vessel are unavoidably exceeded as a consequence of damage and/or flooding, appropriate action is initiated to ensure the safety of shipboard personnel, including where necessary abandoning the vessel | |||
3 | Manage the stress conditions of the vessel | a | Stress limits of vessel are assessed in accordance with maritime principles and vessel manufacturer's specifications | |
b | Stability of vessel is monitored at a frequency and scope relevant to the nature and speed of vessel operations or emergency and is sufficient to enable stress and stability to be maintained within acceptable limits at all times | |||
c | Appropriate action is taken promptly where weight distribution has or could exceed acceptable safety limits to ensure that the safety of the vessel and its passengers, crew and load is maximised | |||
