Learning Outcomes
Overview of Assessment
In order to achieve competency in this unit, you must provide:
Performance Evidence
Evidence of the ability to:
- design, create and save a document using a markup language, without using an automated code generation program
- use a text editor for generating the markup language code for use on common web browsers
- validate the markup document against the standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Knowledge Evidence
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, you must:
- recognise and outline the use of markup languages including:
- dynamic hypertext markup language (DHTML)
- hypertext markup language (HTML)
- standard generalised markup language (SGML)
- virtual reality modelling language (VRML)

- identify and describe, standards applicable to a markup language
- summarise the range of available web browsers and their accessibility
- identify and describe, the issues of accessibility.
Assessment Conditions
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the website technologies field of work, and include access to:
- an organisational style guide or policy
- all user requirements
- a text editor
- a range of browsers
- the internet, to validate the markup.
You are advised that you are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate your assessment work to your teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
Feedback
Feedback will be provided throughout the semester in class and/or online discussions. You are encouraged to ask and answer questions during class time and online sessions so that you can obtain feedback on your understanding of the concepts and issues being discussed.
