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 TDMMH1607A, 'DETERMINE POSITION OF THE VESSEL'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'DETERMINE POSITION OF THE VESSEL' 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 | Select an appropriate position fixing method | a | Primary position fixing method is selected in accordance with prevailing conditions | |
b | Time interval between fixes is appropriate to the prevailing navigational conditions | |||
c | Verification of primary position fixing is regularly carried out using appropriate methods | |||
d | Position of vessel is recorded on a navigational chart (paper or electronic) in accordance with company procedures and regulatory requirements | |||
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA | ||||
2 | Fix the vessel's position from terrestrial observations | a | Magnetic and gyro compass error is determined using terrestrial observations | ||
b | Sufficient visual or radar conspicuous features are selected for position fixing taking into account the geometry of the resultant position lines | ||||
c | Where less than three objects are available for terrestrial observation appropriate alternative position estimation techniques are employed | ||||
d | Observations are made, corrected for compass errors and plotted onto a navigational chart using appropriate symbols | ||||
e | The resultant fix is assessed for accuracy | ||||
3 | Fix the vessel's position from celestial observations | a | Magnetic and gyro compass error is determined using celestial observations | ||
b | Vessel's position is determined and plotted from a series of observations of the altitude of the sun on and off the meridian | ||||
c | The time of meridian passage of the sun is determined | ||||
d | The most appropriate time range for stellar observations at twilight is determined | ||||
e | Suitable stars are selected for position fixing purposes, and their approximate altitude and azimuth determined | ||||
f | Vessel's position is determined and plotted from a series of observations of the altitudes of stars | ||||
g | The accuracy of celestial observations is assessed to determine fix reliability | ||||
4 | Fix the vessel's position using a radio navigation aids | a | Position information is transposed from an electronic navigation aid onto a chart | ||
b | Position line information is transposed from an electronic navigation aid onto a chart | ||||
c | Position line and fix information is transposed onto an electronic chart display | ||||
d | The accuracy of position is assessed to determine fix reliability | ||||
5 | Determine the appropriate action to take with respect to a plotted position | a | An assessment of the set, drift and leeway being experienced by the vessel is made | ||
b | Course is adjusted to maintain or resume the planned route where the position indicates a deviation has occurred | ||||
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA | |||
5 | Determine the appropriate action to take with respect to a plotted position (continued) | c | A dead reckoning (DR) and/or estimated position (EP) is projected along the planned route in accordance with the course made good between previously observed positions | |
