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 TDMMC307B, 'MANOEUVRE AND HANDLE THE VESSEL IN NORMAL CONDITIONS'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'MANOEUVRE AND HANDLE THE VESSEL IN NORMAL 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 | ||
1 | Manoeuvre the vessel for normal operations | a | Manoeuvres are made to safely progress the operation and keep the vessel in safe water |
b | Vessel's heading is maintained within acceptable limits as per the requirements of the manoeuvre, weather, tide, headreach and stopping distances | ||
c | Alterations of heading or power are smooth and controlled | ||
d | Communication is clear, concise and acknowledged according to good seamanship | ||
e | Suitable mode of steering is selected for the manoeuvre with respect to the area, wind and sea conditions | ||
f | Constant rate of turn techniques are used to achieve constant radius turns during manoeuvres | ||
g | Vessel propulsion is controlled as required to progress the operation and complement helm movements | ||
h | Safe operating limits of vessel propulsion and steering systems are not exceeded in normal manoeuvres | ||
i | Anchoring and berthing operations are coordinated and supervised in accordance with established procedures | ||
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA | ||||
1 | Manoeuvre the vessel for normal operations (continued) | j | Appropriate inter-vessel communications are correctly used during vessel manoeuvres | ||
k | Adequate resources are organised prior to and during operations | ||||
2 | Handle vessel when under way | a | The effects on vessel performance of shallow and restricted waters, ice, banks, tidal conditions and passing vessel's and own vessel's bow and stern waves are regularly evaluated and the implications for vessel handling assessed | ||
b | Appropriate alterations to vessel heading and power are made in response to assessments of the vessel's operational environment | ||||
c | Special handling techniques are correctly applied during rescues or adverse sea and weather conditions | ||||
3 | Manoeuvre vessel during adverse weather conditions | a | Impending adverse weather and/or ice conditions are identified and the implications for vessel operations are evaluated | ||
b | Preparations are made and required precautions are taken to minimise risk and damage to vessel and personnel and time loss on passage within the limits of the officer's responsibility | ||||
c | Master is called if developments in sea or weather conditions require decisions beyond the officer's limits of responsibility | ||||
d | Manoeuvres are adjusted to allow for weather and sea conditions to safely progress the operation and keep the vessel in safe water | ||||
e | Vessel's heading is maintained within acceptable limits with respect to the requirements of the manoeuvre and the prevailing weather and sea conditions | ||||
f | Special handling techniques required under heavy weather conditions are used when necessary | ||||
