List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Identify multimedia elements | 1.1 Assess design specifications to determine technical and creative objectives of the project 1.2 Locate and assess content required for production 1.3 Discuss issues of integration and formats of media assets with relevant personnel, and confirm production timelines 1.4 Determine, with relevant personnel, an interactive sequence to become the prototype |
2. Identify scope of authoring software | 2.1 Identify a range of industry-standard authoring software and assess in relation to specified delivery platform 2.2 Discuss suitability of authoring software to meet specified outcomes with relevant personnel 2.3 Select authoring software to meet production requirements |
3. Use authoring software | 3.1 Load authoring software and create a file directory structure for the specified task and name using standard industry or enterprise naming conventions 3.2 Display and use tools and features of authoring software relevant to the authoring process 3.3 Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time. |
4. Create interactive sequence | 4.1 Slice and reassemble the user interface appropriate to the authoring software 4.2 Import and assemble components in appropriate sequence according to creative requirements 4.3 Create interactive features according to creative and technical requirements, sourcing and writing appropriate mark-up and scripting languages as required 4.4 Check that interactive sequence conforms to navigation design 4.5 Integrate media assets to optimum levels of technical performance 4.6 Check interactive sequence conforms to loading specifications 4.7 Test for interoperability and accessibility, eliminate all bugs and validate scripting 4.8 Present interactive sequence as a prototype ensuring sequence meets creative, production and technical requirements 4.9 Save output file formats and identify for specified purpose |
5. Evaluate interactive prototype | 5.1 Present prototype to relevant personnel 5.2 Evaluate prototype against design specifications, including achievement of a creative and user-centred product 5.3 Discuss and agree on any required changes and make adjustments to prototype 5.4 Assist in user testing as required 5.5 Evaluate feedback from user testing 5.6 Seek confirmation from relevant personnel to transform prototype into final product |
6. Finalise interactive media product | 6.1 Make necessary changes as indicated by user testing 6.2 Replicate prototype functionality to complete the interactive product 6.3 Make final checks to ensure sequences conform to design specifications 6.4 Test for interoperability and accessibility, eliminate bugs and validate scripting 6.5 Save to specified storage system accessible to production team 6.6 Assist in loading product to specified platform as required |
Evidence of the ability to:
discuss and determine requirements for an interactive media product
use authoring software to create logical file directory structures and build a prototype of an interactive media product
evaluate and incorporate feedback from user testing to the prototype
use authoring software to develop a fully functional interactive media product that:
conforms to design and creative requirements specifications
meets accessibility and interoperability standards.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain technical requirements for integrating media assets (video, audio, animation, images) for use on a range of delivery platforms
describe interoperability and accessibility standards used in interactive media product design
explain the purpose and process of script validation
outline basic health and safety requirements when working on computers and keyboards.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
design specifications
sample content including a range of media assets
authoring software
software manuals and other relevant information.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
