A Task can contain two components: a capability component and a knowledge component. The capability component is comprised of the hands-on learning involved in the Task, and is evaluated using a Capability Assessment. The knowledge component is comprised of the theoretical learning involved in the Task and is evaluated using a written or Knowledge Assessment.
A Knowledge Assessment can either be created using a custom editor within TRACCESS, or can be linked to an external form (such as QuestionMark). A Knowledge Assessment can contain a Practice Assessment, but must contain a Final Assessment.
The following graphic illustrates a sample Internal Knowledge Assessment.
Within TRACCESS, a knowledge assessment is used by several roles to achieve different purposes:
Subject Matter Experts
add a Knowledge Assessment property to a Task, and populate the Knowledge Assessment with relevant questions and answers.
put the completed knowledge assessment online
generate paper assessments to be distributed to Learners
Learners - access the Knowledge Assessment attached to a particular Task by taking either a Practice or Final Assessment.
A completed final assessment that obtains the set pass mark will satisfy the Practical component of the Task, and therefore turn the Practical component of the Task to black.
Supervisors - set qualification dates on the Knowledge component of the Task, if the Final Assessment was completed using a Paper Assessment.
