What an assessment for CUADIG517 must cover

41 assessable components: 4 elements (20 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 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 project requirements

1.1Confirm objectives and desired outcomes of project brief in consultation with required personnel
1.2Identify target audience and determine format and delivery platform of simulations in discussion with required personnel

2 Research and plan approach

2.1Investigate real world environment to be simulated and determine technical parameters that may be required
2.2Evaluate designs and other information that may assist modelling real world environment
2.3Determine performance objectives, task complexity and user skill levels
2.4Determine required depth of physical and functional fidelity that meets production requirements
2.5Research and identify applicable simulation authoring tools
2.6Discuss ideas and solutions in collaboration with required personnel

3 Draft simulation design documents

3.1Identify processes that determine functional behaviour of simulation and specify how this behaviour is represented by control objects
3.2Define underlying functionality in model that specifies essential settings, states, conditions and parameters
3.3Specify user interface controls that enable user interaction with simulation
3.4Identify critical impacts, alerts or costs for incorrect user operation
3.5Specify sequencing of difficulty levels, if required
3.6Confirm proposed simulation is technically feasible in consultation with required personnel
3.7Present clear and detailed draft simulation design specifications for discussion and feedback with required personnel
3.8Outline positive and negative feedback from user responses when interacting with simulations, and adjust as required

4 Finalise simulation design documents

4.1Review designs against desired project outcomes and objectives
4.2Review designs against creative, technical and intellectual property requirements
4.3Adjust design specifications as necessary after discussions with required personnel
4.4Archive user interface controls

Performance evidence

design at least two examples of digital simulations according to different project briefs.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
research and generate ideas for technically feasible simulations that meet target audience requirements
develop draft design specifications for digital simulations that are clear, detailed and technically feasible
review and seek feedback from required personnel and produce final design specifications.

Knowledge evidence

typical formats and documentation for presenting simulation designs
strategies to evaluate designs and respond to feedback to improve designs
technical parameters of digital simulations, including: algorithms, rules, laws, physical & mathematical formulae
authoring tools used for digital simulations
user interfaces used for digital simulations
ways that technical parameters represent real world processes
common delivery platforms of simulations
how intellectual property rights are managed in design of digital simulations.

Foundation skills

Oral communication: Participates effectively in spoken interactions using language and features applicable to audience; Confirms project requirements and elicits feedback using questioning and listening strategies; Communicates with audience using industry standard practices and protocols
Reading: Interprets and comprehends familiar and unfamiliar technical, descriptive, and legal textual information
Writing: Documents information using correct formatting procedures, and uses specialised vocabulary when drafting design documents; Accurately incorporates modifications and user feedback in specification documentation
Initiative and enterprise: Integrates prior knowledge with new technical research and feedback from required personnel; Ensures design integrity remains and continually generates and evaluates design ideas; Makes decisions that impact on entire project
Planning and organising: Takes responsibility, coordinates and plans tasks and ensures project requirements met; Ensures project is continually assessed and evaluated
Self-management: Adheres to legislative requirements related to intellectual property
Teamwork: Works collaboratively with production personnel throughout all stages of project
Technology: Assists with design tasks using digital tools

Questions about assessing CUADIG517

What does an assessment tool for CUADIG517 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CUADIG517 needs to address all 41 unit components: 4 elements with 20 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 CUADIG517?

Auditori pulls the current release of CUADIG517 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 CUADIG517 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CUADIG517 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 CUADIG517, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
