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 UEECD0043, 'Solve problems in direct current circuits'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Solve problems in direct current circuits' 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
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. | ||
Nature of the circuit problem is obtained from relevant documentation, electrical drawings or personnel to determine the scope of work to be undertaken | |||
Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified and applied | |||
Tools, equipment and circuit measuring devices required for the electrical work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety in accordance with workplace procedures | |||
Electrical apparatus is visually inspected, and components and circuits are identified | |||
Electrical hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented | |||
Need to test or measure live electrical work is conducted in accordance with WHS/OHS workplace safety procedures and regulatory requirements | |||
Circuits are checked and isolated in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements | |||
Expected circuit parameters are calculated from relevant component ratings/specifications | |||
Circuit parameters are measured in accordance with industry standards and checked against expected values | |||
D.c. circuit problems are assessed from measured and calculated values using established methodologies as they apply to circuits | |||
Circuit solutions are determined from measured and calculated values of resistance, voltage, current and power in series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits in accordance with industry standards | |||
Solutions are tested in accordance with workplace procedures and industry standards | |||
Problems are resolved without damage to apparatus, circuits, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices | |||
Unplanned situations are responded to in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment | |||
WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed | |||
Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures | |||
Justification for solutions used to resolve circuit problems is documented | |||
Work completion is documented, electrical drawings are updated, and relevant person/s notified in accordance with workplace procedures | |||
