Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create, and customise, an information and communications technology (ICT) content management system (CMS) powered website using an open source, to meet client requirements.It applies to individuals working as web developers who have a detailed knowledge of markup languages and their associated standards, and are proficient in server-side language and security techniques. Individuals in this role also have high-level understanding of server functionality.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the website technologies field of work, and include access to:

the client requirements, and content

a text editor

a range of browsers

the internet for research, validation of code and programming documentation.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Analyse the specifications and requirements
  • Determine the required functionality of the website, as per the client requirements
  • Determine the appropriate server-side language and hosting environment
  • Determine additional functionality that the CMS will not be able to handle ‘out of the box’
  • Determine the functional requirements of the client’s additional functionality
  • Determine any pre-existing restraints that need to be considered when developing the website solution
       
Element: Develop customisation
  • Plan and outline, the requirements of the additional functionality
  • Create and develop plug-in, extension or new functionality to the CMS to meet client requirements
       
Element: Create a CMS powered website
  • Install and configure, the chosen content management system
  • Install and integrate, the new CMS functionality
       
Element: Validate and evaluate
  • Validate the final website markup against the current website standards
  • Validate CMS performance in different browsers, checking compatibility and core CMS functionality
  • Validate the developed additional functionality against the client requirements
       


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.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Analyse the specifications and requirements

1.1 Determine the required functionality of the website, as per the client requirements

1.2 Determine the appropriate server-side language and hosting environment

1.3 Determine additional functionality that the CMS will not be able to handle ‘out of the box’

1.4 Determine the functional requirements of the client’s additional functionality

1.5 Determine any pre-existing restraints that need to be considered when developing the website solution

2. Develop customisation

2.1 Plan and outline, the requirements of the additional functionality

2.2 Create and develop plug-in, extension or new functionality to the CMS to meet client requirements

3. Create a CMS powered website

3.1 Install and configure, the chosen content management system

3.2 Install and integrate, the new CMS functionality

4. Validate and evaluate

4.1 Validate the final website markup against the current website standards

4.2 Validate CMS performance in different browsers, checking compatibility and core CMS functionality

4.3 Validate the developed additional functionality against the client requirements

Evidence of the ability to:

create a content management system (CMS) powered website, using an open source with additional custom functionality that is not available ‘out of the box’, that meets client requirements

perform basic content manipulation tasks in commonly used browsers

evaluate content management additional functionality against current programming and security standards

customise functionality into a pre-existing core CMS, to fulfil client requirements by programming

validate the front-end code markup against standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

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:

analyse and describe, a range of content management systems and their respective functionality

explain markup language and their associated standards

outline server functionality in relation to the client and business requirements

describe and apply, server-side language and security techniques

explain the importance of web accessibility.

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.
