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 CUADIG501, 'Coordinate the testing of interactive media products'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Coordinate the testing of interactive media products' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Determine criteria for testing | 1.1 Define testing criteria to make sure that products meet technical and quality outcomes 1.2 Determine, with relevant personnel, production points at which development will be tested 1.3 Document and communicate testing criteria to relevant personnel |
2. Plan approach for product testing | 2.1 Identify various testing methods and their characteristics relevant for interactive media products 2.2 Determine testing methods to be used, considering project specifications, budget and time 2.3 Discuss, with relevant personnel, the user profile appropriate for testing the interactive media product, if required 2.4 Develop and document a plan for testing products at specified points during development and on completion 2.5 Establish records system to document testing results |
3. Test interactive media at specified production points | 3.1 Coordinate testing of products at identified production points 3.2 Create materials to be used in tests if required 3.3 Instruct and coordinate personnel involved in the testing process 3.4 Apply methods to test that products meet creative, production and technical requirements 3.5 Analyse test findings for usability and/or design deficiencies in the product designs 3.6 Record problems and faults detected and the remedial steps taken 3.7 Document the testing process according to enterprise procedures 3.8 Evaluate final products against previously determined criteria 3.9 Report summarised evaluation to relevant production personnel |
4. Evaluate testing process | 4.1 Review effectiveness of testing methods 4.2 Evaluate the testing process and records system for improvements 4.3 Save and archive findings to inform subsequent projects |
