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 UEEIC0013, 'Develop, enter and verify discrete control programs for programmable controllers'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Develop, enter and verify discrete control programs for programmable controllers' 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. | ||
PLC operating functions, parameters and specifications are determined from relevant documentation, electrical drawings or persons to determine the control system scope of work | |||
Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified and applied | |||
Control system scenario is developed from job specifications of process/plant/machine controlled through consultation with relevant person/s | |||
PLC block diagram is developed using industry standard symbols | |||
Infotechnology equipment, software and measuring devices needed to carry out the PLC work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety | |||
Installation of PLC is checked for compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations and job specifications | |||
Established WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed. | |||
Circuits/machines/plant are checked and isolated in accordance with workplace procedures | |||
Control system solutions are developed and documented based on specified control mode and using acceptable methods for designing control systems | |||
Developed control system is converted to an appropriate form | |||
Program is entered into the PLC using appropriate infotechnology and software | |||
Entered instructions and settings are tested in accordance with job specifications by control system scenario | |||
Appropriate methods and tools are used to test control system and operating faults and anomalies are identified and rectified | |||
Unplanned situations are responded to in accordance with workplace procedures, in a manner that minimises risk to persons and equipment | |||
WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed | |||
Program is transferred from PLC to external medium for storage | |||
Control system specification and program are documented in accordance with workplace procedures | |||
Work completion is documented and relevant persons notified in accordance with workplace procedures | |||
