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 MSFID5024, 'Design workplace interiors'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Design workplace interiors' 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. Analyse the project brief | 1.1 Evaluate project specifications, parameters and constraints, and confirm with client 1.2 Select resources appropriate to work requirements 1.3 Establish and maintain communication with others involved in the project |
2. Conduct project research | 2.1 Identify and assess aspects of the space that impact on potential solutions through site analysis and measurement 2.2 Clarify intended function and desired effects and explore with the client 2.3 Research and evaluate contextual information relating to the brief 2.4 Determine functional, access and planning issues specific to the site and client requirements 2.5 Develop and document project plan identifying key steps and responsibilities |
3. Develop design concepts | 3.1 Generate multiple ideas that are sympathetic to the project brief 3.2 Explore, integrate and refine different options through a process of reflection and testing 3.3 Assess environmental implications of the project and review design concepts to ensure maximum energy efficiency is achieved in solution 3.4 Test viability of interrelated ideas in an holistic way 3.5 Present concepts to the client using support documentation and tools suited to the scope of the project |
4. Design the space | 4.1 Translate ideas into three dimensional (3D) space satisfying functional criteria 4.2 Explore evidence of 3D notions through modelling 4.3 Present the idea with the greatest potential for success to promote the design's acceptance using both 2D and 3D representations 4.4 Select a materials palette to enhance spatial ideas 4.5 Seek client feedback, agree to and record amendments and revise and refine ideas 4.6 Modify design in response to critical feedback without losing integrity of the design intention |
5. Revise and refine solution | 5.1 Further review and resolve spatial planning and resolve in response to client feedback 5.2 Select materials, colours, finishes, fixtures and fittings that are appropriate for the concept and brief parameters 5.3 Seek feedback through consultation with the client and incorporate into design solution |
6. Prepare a fully rendered client presentation | 6.1 Choose presentation method, techniques and media based on suitability for the design solution 6.2 Prepare documentation, drawings and material selections that are consistent with the design intent 6.3 Complete work to plan and within brief constraints 6.4 Analyse client feedback and response to determine success in achieving client satisfaction 6.5 Evaluate work through feedback and own reflection, and identify potential improvements for use in future projects |
