Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to create wireless markup language (WML) decks.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Design WML deck
  • 1.1 Analyse existing hypertext markup language (HTML) page design and identify information to be accessible via hand-held device
  • 1.2 Design deck logical structure, ensuring that deck size is kept within acceptable boundaries
  • 1.3 Determine structure of content based on business needs and user requirements
  • 1.4 Identify links between sets of cards
  • 1.5 Design cards for user input or for the selection of more than one item
2. Create deck
  • 2.1 Code each card in the deck, ensuring each card has an ID and a title
  • 2.2 Create cards using language and practices compliant with the international WML standard
  • 2.3 Use best practice coding standards in creating the deck
  • 2.4 Avoid device-specific features in creating the deck
3. Test deck
  • 3.1 Test deck on multiple devices to ensure compatibility with as many hand-held devices as possible
  • 3.2 Validate WML files by typing and submitting the uniform resource locator of the WML file or the WML validator
  • 3.3 Ensure the <go> and <prev> tasks select the correct card in the deck
  • 3.4 Ensure the tested WML files meet the needs of the business client
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Code card elements may contain:
images
input fields
links
markup language
tasks
text.
WML standard may include:
WAP architecture specification - WAP-100, Wireless application protocol architecture specification
WAP specification 1.1 or later
WAP specification suite
WAP-120 WAP caching model specification
WAP-174 User agent profiling specification
WAP-175 WAP cache operation specification
WAP-190 Wireless application environment specification

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
create WML files that meet the business client's need.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
XML parser
WML valuator
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
evaluation of candidate’s completed deck
direct observation of candidate testing a deck on a hand-held device
verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of:
HTML
WML
XML
wireless networks.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
