Cluster 4 Siteworks

Phase 1: Analyse

Program: Siteworks
Summary: The aim of this cluster is to carry out levelling procedures for the purpose of establishing correct and accurate set out of buildings, to set out a range of construction activities, including the positioning of a building and associated structures on a site and undertake hand or mechanical excavation to form excavations for footings and the provisions of services.
Topics 1. Carry out levelling operations 2. Carry out setting 3. Carry out excavation
Context:
This cluster covers
CPCCCA3023A Carry out levelling operations
CPCCCA3002A Carry out set out
CPCCCM2002A Carry out excavation
This cluster will be delivered using a combination of face to face, online (MOODLE based) learning with practical simulated or onsite practical activities. For streamline purposes a time factor will be allocated to each section to enable student’s time allowance if online learning is desired and also lesson plan guidelines for teacher/ facilitator. The MOODLE site will guide each activity in a format that will enable students to follow in a structured format.
There will also be allowance for Recognition of Prior Learning to allow fast track or gap training where required. Note the hour guide signifies hours to complete that component. That could be blended, face to face or online. /

Learners:

15 – 25 generally the majority completed Year 10 or Year 12 equivalence with minimal exposure to the building industry
Motivations for students will mainly be for completion of trade Carpentry course and learning to suit individual learners allowing flexibility.
Past on site experiences and existing carpentry knowledge/ skills will be minimal.
Requires internet access and have basic computer skills.
Prior learning prerequisite Apply WHS requirements.
Potential low literacy and numeracy skills and applied knowledge. Learning difficulties needs to be identified and catered for accordingly.
Potential low level technical e learning skills to also be catered for accordingly.
Mature aged (trade qualified) or life experience that can be fast tracked (stream lined) through distance learning.

Assessment:

Major practical levelling assessment.
Major practical set out and excavation assessment.
Underpinning knowledge online skills quiz to be complete at the end of the cluster.

Phase 2: Design

Phase 3&4: Implement & review

Implementation

This cluster will be setup on the Carpentry Moodle 2.3 Site and used by all teachers, wishing to use Moodle, in the Carpentry facility for delivery of these UOC. Teachers will be able to choose how they deliver the information however for the first time we will be delivering the same information. Teachers to further develop online applications like Adobe presenter/ captivate.

Review

The cluster on Moodle will have a forum and a Feedback section for the students and another hidden forum for teachers to suggest changes that we need to make.

Student’s results and completion rates will also be compared with students who are not using the Moodle based package to see what differences there are.

An annual meeting with the teachers to review the whole Moodle course.
