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 MSFID6017, 'Evaluate design project outcomes'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Evaluate design project outcomes' 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. Identify evaluation criteria | 1.1 Analyse project brief to determine key design requirements 1.2 Verify problems or underlying factors to be addressed in the project brief 1.3 Identify communication requirements for the project 1.4 Research and identify current industry design trends relating to project brief 1.5 Research and identify workplace and industry standards in relation to design presentation 1.6 Research and verify quality and evaluation criteria that apply to design processes |
2. Apply evaluation criteria | 2.1 Examine design drawings, and all associated documentation to identify all features of the finished design against the original design concept 2.2 Evaluate the design and all specifications against project brief to check consistency 2.3 Evaluate the design and use critical reflection to determine how well elements and principles of design have been applied 2.4 Evaluate the design for consistency with current industry trends and influences 2.5 Evaluate the design against client requirements, including adherence to time and budget 2.6 Evaluate the design for quality and innovation 2.7 Evaluate processes engaged to develop finished design for effectiveness in achieving final design outcomes |
3. Suggest design improvements | 3.1 Examine and document factors affecting the outcome of the project 3.2 Use collaboration and critical thinking to inform suggestions for improving that design and how it meets the established design criteria 3.3 Use technical design skills to reflect evaluation outcomes and communicate improvements 3.4 Identify and test potential design improvements for viability 3.5 Achieve design improvements through selection, adaptation and introduction of materials, tools, technology and design processes 3.6 Respect intellectual and copyright requirements when incorporating ideas from others 3.7 Compile and produce evaluation report that addresses key criteria |
