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 LMTMF6004A, 'Produce negative and positive casts for lasts and corrective orthoses'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Produce negative and positive casts for lasts and corrective orthoses' 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 Clarify assessments and prescriptions | 1.1 Assessments and prescriptions are reviewed to confirm that all required information has been provided prior to design and manufacture 1.2 Other parties are consulted, if necessary, to clarify or provide additional information |
2 Prepare for casting | 2.1 Identify and mark biomechanical and functional requirements 2.2 Take measurements and drawings as required 2.3 Select the casting techniques appropriate to the requirements 2.4 Appropriate materials are chosen to fabricate the cast |
3 Produce below knee negative cast | 3.1 A negative cast is made manually or by computer assistance, taking into account factors such as biomechanical requirements, volume expansion, functional and positioning requirements 3.2 Cast is checked in terms of quality, requirements, and modified as required 3.3 Job specifications for constructing positive cast are determined and documented |
4 Produce positive cast and last | 4.1 Appropriate materials are chosen to fabricate the cast 4.2 A positive cast from a form is produced, by either hand or computerised methods, which meets requirements for individual shape, alignment and specific designs, taking into account factors such as biomechanical requirements, volume expansion, functional and positioning requirements 4.3 The cast is fabricated and modified to meet specific footwear and orthoses design criteria and OHS practices 4.4 The shape of the cast and last is checked against design specifications |
5 Adjust positive cast | 5.1 The shape of the positive cast is checked against client measurements, technical drawings and design specifications, taking into account factors such as biomechanical requirements, volume expansion, functional and positioning requirements 5.2 The positive cast and last is adjusted by adding, cutting or grinding material to meet specifications |
6 Perform record keeping procedures | 6.1 Client files are maintained 6.2 Administrative tasks are completed |
