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 MSFID4013, 'Design residential interior lighting'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Design residential interior lighting' 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. Interpret lighting requirements | 1.1 Evaluate project specifications, parameters and constraints, and confirm with client 1.2 Determine intended space functions and associated activities and desired effects 1.3 Select work resources based on the needs of the project 1.4 Identify key project stakeholders and establish required communication protocols |
2. Assess existing orientation and natural light | 2.1 Determine natural light and ultraviolet (UV) penetration from site analysis 2.2 Determine aspect and orientation from project brief and building plans 2.3 Examine window treatments and placement for their efficiency in controlling light 2.4 Review selection of colours for walls, ceilings, furnishings and wall hangings for their effect on raising or lowering the effect of light into the space 2.5 Assess methods of site light control and light control devices for their effect on natural light. |
3. Determine supplementary lighting requirements | 3.1 Identify and assess supplementary lighting sources and their potential to achieve the desired lighting effects 3.2 Research and assess the ongoing maintenance and environmental impact of potential supplementary lighting 3.3 Identify actual and potential location for supplementary lighting and determine required changes to achieve desired outcomes 3.4 Analyse effect of supplementary lighting on the existing or proposed colour spectrum |
4. Generate lighting concepts | 4.1 Use creative methodologies to generate lighting concepts and themes 4.2 Assess concepts against the project brief to select most viable solution 4.3 Present concept to client using support documentation suited to the scope of the project 4.4 Discuss ideas with client and modify concept according to feedback 4.5 Select lighting options that meet industry standards and accurately document specifications |
5. Revise and refine solution | 5.1 Revise and refine lighting concepts through a process of reflection and testing 5.2 Examine environmental aspects of lighting solution and identify and integrate options for improved sustainability 5.3 Research and select appropriate lighting options that meet industry standards 5.4 Select the final lighting design that best meets the requirements of the brief |
6. Present lighting solution | 6.1 Document lighting solution using industry symbols and conventions for all fittings and components 6.2 Relate selection of light fittings to layout, including furniture, ceiling forms and natural light 6.3 Develop and document comprehensive schedule for lighting design 6.4 Present lighting solution and clearly explain key features and benefits 6.5 Analyse client feedback and response to determine success in achieving client satisfaction 6.6 Evaluate work through feedback and own reflection, and identify potential improvements for use in future projects |
