Online environment requirements

Assessment task environment  

This assessment task will be completed in an online environment prepared by your training organisation. 

All required resources to complete the assessment task will be discussed with the student before they commence the assessment. The online environment is very much like a learning environment where a student is able to practice, use and operate appropriate industrial equipment, techniques, practices under realistic workplace conditions.  

Requirements for the online assessment environment

The trainer/assessor will ensure that the online assessment environment is set up to complete this assessment task. 

The online environment consists of:

• A learning management system where the student will be required to complete their job-related tasks and activities

• The standard operating/workplace procedures related to the tasks and activities. 

• The trainer/assessor will provide the student with assistance throughout the assessment activity.

The online environment must meet the following criteria:

Opportunities for the student to: Yes/No/NA

Follow standard operating/workplace procedures  

Use up-to-date software and equipment  

Work within stated timelines to meet deadlines  

Gain experience in the challenges and complexities of dealing with multiple tasks  

Experience prioritising competing tasks and dealing with contingencies  

The environment to work with others in a team  

Online assessment environment sufficient to communicate, contribute and participate in tasks and activities.   

Assessment environment sufficient to work independently and manage workload  

 

Resources, tools, and equipment requirements

The following resources, tools and equipment required to complete the assessment task will be discussed with the student before they commence the assessment: 

• Workplace personnel/stakeholders to participate in the questioning session requires active participation in a range of creative thinking activities 

o Please refer to the roles and responsibilities section for more information 

o This should be organised by the training organisation either via, LMS, telephone conferences, video conferencing or anything of a similar nature

• oriented design structures

• programming languages that support object-oriented development

• integrated development environment (IDE)

• database management system (DBMS).

Online assessment scenario 

You are required to undertake intermediate level programming tasks using an object-oriented programming language. You are required to read and understand a predetermined issue and/or situation and participate in a number of assessment activities. 

 

The following are the goals and objectives to complete this assessment task: 

• Build applications

• Determine and document program requirements according to object-orientated programming specifications

• Divide multiple source-code files into logical units and packages and collect data in internal storage

• Implement internal data-sorting and searching facilities according to object-orientated programming specifications

• Employ integrated-development environment facilities and make files to automate program building

• Use facilities in specific language for persisting objects to binary files and confirm program stability

• Write interactive database programs

• Design, document and implement programs that connect to the required database according to program specifications

• Design, document and implement programs that use language facilities according to program specifications

• Design, document and implement programs that use language facilities to manipulate database structure

• Write programs that deliver transactional integrity according to program requirements

• Write graphical user interface

• Employ graphical user interface (GUI) framework according to language requirements

• Use standard GUI components according to object-orientated programming specifications

• Respond to user and program-generated events and according to program requirements

• Debug and test application

• Examine variables and trace running code

• Detect logical and coding errors according to program requirements

• Examine variable contents during execution and detect and correct errors

• Design and document limited tests of code

• Test and document produced code and determine compliance with the program specification

A supervisor will be assigned to you by your training organisation. The supervisor can answer your questions related to understanding the requirements associated with the assessment task. The supervisor will act according to job role and responsibilities. 

 

The supervisor can be your trainer or assessor or a different trainer or assessor or a staff member (including mentors) from the training organisation. 

Roles and responsibilities 

As part of your job role, you have the following job responsibilities: 

• Monitors outcomes of decisions and results and identifies key concepts and principles that may be adaptable in the future

• Articulates information and requirements, using effective communication techniques and industry standard technical language intended for audience and environment

• Analyses and interprets technical documents

• Accurately records and completes documentation according to organisational formats and procedures

• Writes and edits code and technical data in a logical manner using required syntax

• Creates, and selects, a required application that meets the set requirements

• Identifies technical or conceptual issues, and applies analytical processes, to resolve these issues

• Uses analytical and lateral thinking to review current practices, and to develop new or improved software or systems

• Uses systematic processes, setting goals, gathering required information and identifying and evaluating options against agreed criteria

• Uses a range of digitally based technologies to access, extract, and share relevant information in order to achieve the required outcomes

Task requirements

This assessment task requires you to undertake intermediate level programming tasks using an object-oriented programming language. The assessment activities are mentioned within the assessment task.
