What an assessment for CUADIG401 must cover

47 assessable components: 6 elements (31 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 4 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Identify multimedia elements

1.1Assess design specifications to determine technical and creative objectives of the project
1.2Locate and assess content required for production
1.3Discuss issues of integration and formats of media assets with relevant personnel, and confirm production timelines
1.4Determine, with relevant personnel, an interactive sequence to become the prototype

2 Identify scope of authoring software

2.1Identify a range of industry-standard authoring software and assess in relation to specified delivery platform
2.2Discuss suitability of authoring software to meet specified outcomes with relevant personnel
2.3Select authoring software to meet production requirements

3 Use authoring software

3.1Load authoring software and create a file directory structure for the specified task and name using standard industry or enterprise naming conventions
3.2Display and use tools and features of authoring software relevant to the authoring process
3.3Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time.

4 Create interactive sequence

4.1Slice and reassemble the user interface appropriate to the authoring software
4.2Import and assemble components in appropriate sequence according to creative requirements
4.3Create interactive features according to creative and technical requirements, sourcing and writing appropriate mark-up and scripting languages as required
4.4Check that interactive sequence conforms to navigation design
4.5Integrate media assets to optimum levels of technical performance
4.6Check interactive sequence conforms to loading specifications
4.7Test for interoperability and accessibility, eliminate all bugs and validate scripting
4.8Present interactive sequence as a prototype ensuring sequence meets creative, production and technical requirements
4.9Save output file formats and identify for specified purpose

5 Evaluate interactive prototype

5.1Present prototype to relevant personnel
5.2Evaluate prototype against design specifications, including achievement of a creative and user-centred product
5.3Discuss and agree on any required changes and make adjustments to prototype
5.4Assist in user testing as required
5.5Evaluate feedback from user testing
5.6Seek confirmation from relevant personnel to transform prototype into final product

6 Finalise interactive media product

6.1Make necessary changes as indicated by user testing
6.2Replicate prototype functionality to complete the interactive product
6.3Make final checks to ensure sequences conform to design specifications
6.4Test for interoperability and accessibility, eliminate bugs and validate scripting
6.5Save to specified storage system accessible to production team
6.6Assist in loading product to specified platform as required

Performance evidence

discuss and determine requirements for an interactive media product
use authoring software to create logical file directory structures and build a prototype of an interactive media product
evaluate and incorporate feedback from user testing to the prototype
use authoring software to develop a fully functional interactive media product that:
conforms to design and creative requirements specifications
meets accessibility and interoperability standards.

Knowledge evidence

explain technical requirements for integrating media assets (video, audio, animation, images) for use on a range of delivery platforms
describe interoperability and accessibility standards used in interactive media product design
explain the purpose and process of script validation
outline basic health and safety requirements when working on computers and keyboards.

Foundation skills

Reading: Selects and applies a range of reading strategies to interpret design and technical requirements Reviews and interprets feedback from user trials to enable completion of final product Validates scripting to ensure accurate operation of interactive media Locates correct folders for logical storing of electronic data to assist with production
Writing: Creates a range of texts incorporating specific scripting language, mark-up and standard file naming conventions
Oral Communication: Uses clear language, questioning and listening techniques to specify and discuss interactive prototypes and final product
Navigate the world of work: Complies with legislative responsibilities
Interact with others: Uses appropriate communication practices and protocols to confirm requirements and present prototypes to a range of personnel
Get the work done: Takes responsibility for managing a range of tasks concurrently to produce an interactive prototype and final product which meets creative, production and technical requirements Applies evaluation and diagnostic tests to identify necessary adjustments Uses authoring and graphics software to create, test, evaluate and adjust interactive prototypes Identifies, saves and stores final prototypes in digital format

Questions about assessing CUADIG401

What does an assessment tool for CUADIG401 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CUADIG401 needs to address all 47 unit components: 6 elements with 31 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 4 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for CUADIG401?

Auditori pulls the current release of CUADIG401 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for CUADIG401 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CUADIG401 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of CUADIG401, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
