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 ACMPHR409, 'Analyse performance horse pedigrees'.
- Google Links

Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Apply basic genetic theories to the assessment of horses | 1.1 Identify common inherited faults, abnormalities and genetic disorders of horses 1.2 Apply Mendelian inheritance rules to the pedigrees of horses including the inheritance of relevant genetic disorders and arrange for DNA testing of parentage and genetic disorders where required |
2. Assess the conformation of horses selected for a particular purpose | 2.1 Use the correct industry terminology to describe the horses’ conformation 2.2 Evaluate the horses' conformation according to its desired performance 2.3 Evaluate the contribution of the sire and dam to the conformation of the horse 2.4 Use pedigree data including past performance, lineage history, sibling performance, breeding outcomes and other traits to rate the horses’ suitability for a particular purpose |
3. Purchase horses based on pedigree analysis | 3.1 Determine desired requirements of horses for purchasing through auction or private sale 3.2 Assess and rank prospective purchases according to requirements, budget and the likely potential of horses to achieve desired goals 3.3 Determine requirements for new registrations or transfer of ownership according to relevant procedures and regulations 3.4 Determine insurance requirements relevant to purchase of horses 3.5 Identify transportation requirements for transfer of horses to new location |
