Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit defines the competency required to design, create and save a simple markup language document to a given specification using a text editor rather than an authoring tool.
The following unit is linked and forms an appropriate cluster:
ICAB4137B Produce basic client side script for dynamic web pages
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Employability Skills
This unit contains employability skills.
Evidence Required
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.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: Assessment must confirm the ability to design, create and save a simple mark-up language document using a mark-up language without the automated generation of code. To demonstrate competency in this unit the person will require access to: Organisational style guide/policy User requirements Development platform |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Mark-up languages are a common means of promoting websites, providing security via limited internet access and when using open source software, provides a powerful means to control a wide variety of operations. The scope and complexity of knowledge and skills is dependent on the tasks undertaken as part of creating the code to specification. The assessment of this unit of competency will usually include observation of mark-up code results and performance of real or simulated work. The breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and skills in this competency would cover a broad range of varied activities or application in a wider variety of contexts most of which are complex and non-routine. Leadership and guidance would be involved when organising activities of self and others as well as contributing to technical solutions of a non-routine or contingency nature. Assessment must ensure: Performance of a broad range of skilled applications including the requirement to evaluate and analyse current practices, develop new criteria and procedures for performing current practices and provision of some leadership and guidance to others in the application and planning of the skills would be characteristic. Applications may involve responsibility for, and limited organisation of, others. |
Method of assessment | The purpose of this unit is to define the standard of performance to be achieved in the workplace. In undertaking training and assessment activities related to this unit, consideration should be given to the implementation of appropriate diversity and accessibility practices in order to accommodate people who may have special needs. Additional guidance on these and related matters is provided in ICA05 Section 1. Competency in this unit should be assessed using summative assessment to ensure consistency of performance in a range of contexts. This unit can be assessed either in the workplace or in a simulated environment. However, simulated activities must closely reflect the workplace to enable full demonstration of competency. Assessment will usually include observation of real or simulated work processes and procedures and/or performance in a project context as well as questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills. The questioning of team members, supervisors, subordinates, peers and clients where appropriate may provide valuable input to the assessment process. The interdependence of units for assessment purposes may vary with the particular project or scenario. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: ICAB4137B Produce basic client side script for dynamic web pages An individual demonstrating this competency would be able to: Demonstrate understanding of a broad knowledge base incorporating some theoretical concepts Apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems Identify and apply skill and knowledge areas to a wide variety of contexts, with depth in some areas Identify, analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources Take responsibility for own outputs in relation to specified quality standards Take limited responsibility for the quantity and quality of the output of others Demonstrate relevant mark-up language coding skills Maintain knowledge of industry products and services |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
Ability to use a variety of mark-up languages to meet a variety of needs Using keyboard and mouse in an integrated development environment Ability to follow documented instruction from a supplied guide Problem solving skills in mark-up language and an ability to troubleshoot problems Reading and writing at a level where workplace instructions and documents are clearly understood Ability to communicate ideas and concepts in a clear and precise manner |
Required knowledge |
Mark-up language and associated standards Open platforms |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Accessibility may be in relation to: | cultural awareness ethnicity physical impairments remote locations |
Content may include: | information and interactive features, such as product information, company information, copyright and disclaimer notices, site map, frequently asked questions, what's new, customer-specific information, customer only information, error messages, instructions, feedback mechanisms, reference pages, forms, background articles, ratings/rankings/testimonials/quotes from reviews, hyperlink titles |

Format includes: | consideration of the combination of typeface and other attributes, such as size, pitch and spacing of the font |
Browser may include but is not limited to: | Netscape Navigator Internet Explorer Mozilla Opera Galleon Phoenix Konqueror Lynx |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
