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 FBPGRA3004, 'Control mill processes and performance'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Control mill processes and performance' 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
Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Maintain mill flow sheet | 1.1 Identify all breaking, reduction and dressing stages in mill 1.2 Show destinations for all stock separations according to operating requirements 1.3 Identify all optional and ancillary equipment required to control flour and by-product production 1.4 Identify all bins, silos, chutes, conveyors and exhausts that control processes and performance across the mill |
2. Prepare for flour and by-product production | 2.1 Establish customer requirements for shift or production period 2.2 Follow recipe required to meet desired production quality and quantity targets 2.3 Check availability of required wheat stock 2.4 Determine if any changes to grist stock will be required and plan for changes to settings |
3. Determine break system settings | 3.1 Adjust break rolls for desired percentage release 3.2 Conduct visual inspection and test sieving where required to monitor release percentage 3.3 Monitor break roll passages to avoid saturation of later stages 3.4 Set bran finishers according to workplace procedures and to ensure optimum performance 3.5 Set plansifters for desired grading, including adjusting spaces between plansifters for varying grains and moisture levels 3.6 Monitor performance of break system to ensure system is free from semolina |
