Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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 ability to:

evolve and refine digital media technique through a demonstrated process of experimentation

develop individual style in own work

produce a coherent body of professional artwork that includes the use of well-developed digital media technique

research digital media technique in the broader context of other artwork and artists

use safe and sustainable work practices.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment, materials and tools used to produce digital media work.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

evaluation of digital media technique within a body of work produced by the candidate

evaluation of processes used by the candidate to evolve and refine digital media technique

evaluation of the work documentation

direct observation of digital media in progress, including exploration of, and experimentation with, techniques

questioning and discussion about candidate’s intentions and the work outcome

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

CUVPRP501A Realise a body of creative work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

critical thinking and analytical skills to:

evaluate and make judgements about relationships between digital media technique, effects and ideas

make critical evaluations of own digital media technique

make critical evaluations of research findings

initiative and enterprise skills to identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by research

learning skills to develop and refine own skills to a professional practice standard

literacy skills to analyse complex and varied information about digital media technique

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical problems in digital media work

self-management and planning skills to create a coherent body of digital media work

technical skills to show command of chosen digital media techniques at a professional level

technology skills to use the internet as a research tool.

Required knowledge

relationship between digital media technique, particular effects and ideas – in the work of other artists and in the context of own practice

extended range of information sources that support research in digital media practice

cultural, sociological, philosophical, aesthetic, political and commercial influences on digital media technique, in historical and contemporary contexts
