Bsbitu101a operate a personal computer assessment

Process - Project 1 Simulated Pathway

This is a step-by-step guide on how to complete Project 1 of the Assessment Units Upgrade.

1. The first thing that we will need to do is to understand the case study. Basically, the scenario is this: You are Abigail, and you are working as a Junior Instructional Designer. You have been tasked to design and develop three (3) assessment tools on the following units:

a. BSBITU101 – Operate a Personal Computer

b. BSBITU102 – Develop Keyboard skills

c. BSBITU201 – Produce simple word-processed documents

You should develop one assessment tool per unit. Each assessment tool must consist of at least two (2) assessment instruments, one that would address the practical component and another to address the knowledge component. The two most common assessment instruments developed are an “Observation Checklist” and a “Written Questionnaire.” It’s up to you if you want to have more than these two instruments.

You will need to book a trainer call as well to discuss the details of this Project with an Inspire trainer. Please complete this first before commencing with the Project.

If you have already completed the call task, kindly refer to a message sent to you by your trainer with the details for the Assessment Tool Development Plans.

2. PLAN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ASSESSMENT TOOLS: The next step is to fill out an Assessment Tool Development Plan. You may download the template from this link: https://bit.ly/2DBaBib. You will only need to fill out parts 1 and 2 of the ATDP, and we will need to see three (3) of these, one for each unit.

a. Part 1 of the ATDP will be filled out with further details, which you will gather from your call task with the Inspire Trainer. The details above will help you to identify your target group of learners, how the assessment will be conducted, and other details that may help you in developing your assessment tools.

b. Part 2 of the ATDP will now be filled out by you. Basically, you just have to tick the assessment methods you have selected. Then, indicate the assessment instruments that you will develop based on the methods you have chosen. You will then explain the context of assessment (which is usually found in the assessment conditions). Here is an example:

3. COMPETENCY MAPPING - After filling out the assessment tool development plan, you then have to complete a competency map for each of the three units. You may download the competency mapping template from this link: http://bit.ly/2TLKPdO

a. The first thing you will need to do is to list down all the Performance Criteria, Performance Evidence, Knowledge Evidence and Assessment Conditions of the unit from training.gov.au. Please ensure that you write the mapping in the correct tab on the template and not in the instructions tab as seen in the following image:

b. Then, you must identify which PC, PE, and KE will be addressed in your assessment instruments. For example, you will develop an observation checklist based on the performance criteria and performance evidence of the unit, and your knowledge questions will be based on the knowledge evidence. You will then have to identify the specific items/task numbers mapped against the criteria. It’s very important that all the components of the unit are covered, and that there are no gaps. It’s also very important that you input the information in the correct tab in the competency mapping (see screenshot to know what I’m referring to: https://snag.gy/IyErq6.jpg).
