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 CUESET04C, 'Use research, innovation and experimentation to create props'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Use research, innovation and experimentation to create props' 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 |
1. Identify the potential or need for new construction techniques and media | 1.1. Analyse design or production elements to determine areas where research and experimentation may be appropriate 1.2. Pro-actively assess the potential for the use of new construction techniques and media to maximise the effectiveness of props |
2. Conduct research | 2.1. Undertake relevant research to identify the historical, cultural and other factors that might influence construction techniques or media 2.2. Research, adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches from other practitioners with consideration of intellectual property, moral rights and copyright requirements 2.3. Identify appropriate specialists who may be able to contribute to the overall props realisation 2.4. Maintain references in an accessible form to allow for use by other colleagues as required 2.5. Use research material to adapt styles for practical construction and performance needs |
3. Experiment with props construction techniques and different media | 3.1. Conduct or coordinate trials to establish the best ways in which the desired props effect can be achieved, including experimentation with: materials, colour, texture, construction techniques and painting styles. 3.2. Follow appropriate safety procedures during experimentation in accordance with organisational and legislative requirements 3.3. Assess results of experimentation balancing the need for creative effectiveness and construction and cost practicality 3.4. Consider safety issues for production and performance personnel in the development of new approaches to set construction 3.5. Select, adapt or introduce new materials, tools, equipment or technology for the achievement of different effects 3.6. Liaise with colleagues to provide information on the results of experimentation and to make appropriate decisions on new techniques and media |
