- 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

2. Prepare location for concrete placement. | 2.1 Erect identified safety signage and barricades to maintain a safe working area around pour location and fit personal protective equipment (PPE). 2.2 Determine location for concrete placement from task specifications. 2.3 Discuss implications for concrete placement near existing structures with relevant personnel and define separation or connection requirements. 2.4 Check that location for placement is free of debris and waste. 2.5 Ensure site access is clear. |
3. Receive concrete. | 3.1 Check delivery advice for accuracy against order. 3.2 Direct concrete delivery vehicle to location of discharge. 3.3 Monitor concrete discharged via chute into appropriate receptacle. |
4. Place concrete. | 4.1 Place concrete in horizontal layers into location in accordance with indicated levels. 4.2 Ensure vertical drop of concrete is less than two metres to avoid segregation of concrete materials. 4.3 Consolidate poured concrete during process using approved compaction or vibration method. 4.4 Carry out measurements and calculations throughout the pour to ensure sufficient concrete is delivered to fill required area, and place orders for any shortfall as required. 4.5 Check finished levels against datum using levelling device, and rectify incorrect levels. 4.6 Screed concrete to required levels and grades. |
