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 FBPTEC5002, 'Manage utilities and energy for a production process'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Manage utilities and energy for a production process' 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. Assess utility and energy requirements | 1.1 Estimate energy and utility requirements for a given production facility 1.2 Account for historical patterns of use when making estimates and forecasting production volumes |
2. Select suppliers of energy and utilities | 2.1 Identify existing and potential suppliers of energy and utilities 2.2 Identify and consider environmental costs and benefits associated with supply in supply criteria 2.3 Establish and apply criteria for selection of suppliers 2.4 Select suppliers capable of meeting supply criteria 2.5 Review or develop contingency procedures in the event of failure of supply |
3. Monitor energy and utility use against budget | 3.1 Measure and record use of energy and utilities 3.2 Analyse usage patterns against performance standards and budget allocations 3.3 Identify, assess and implement cost-effective options for balancing the scheduling requirements for production with containment of energy and utility costs |
4. Contribute to the more efficient use of energy and utilities | 4.1 Identify energy and utility losses or sources of waste 4.2 Identify, investigate and report opportunities to improve efficient energy or utility application 4.3 Establish and review consultative mechanisms to support continuous improvement 4.4 Communicate information on energy efficiency, utility efficiency and related procedures to relevant personnel |
