Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Confirm data requirements
  • 1.1. All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against the job specifications
  • 1.2. Media content is tested to ensure all interactivity performs according to job specifications
  • 1.3. Media is compressed correctly with images at the right resolution and any text in the correct format
  • 1.4. Media is compressed correctly with images at the right resolution and any text in the correct format
2. Prepare the CD-ROM/DVD structure
  • 2.1. Target audience is identified from job specifications and a welcome page is developed
  • 2.2. The welcome page identifies the navigational structure of the media
  • 2.3. Folders for containing the media are prepared according to interactivity requirements
  • 2.4. DOS-style eight-dot-three-character file names are used for all files
3. Set up auto functions
  • 3.1. Autorun is set up to automatically start up the CD-ROM/DVD media
  • 3.2. ShelExec.exe is incorporated into the autorun script to ensure default programs within the shell are started
  • 3.3. Autorun is linked to a reader in case the target audience do not have one pre-installed
  • 3.4. Where autorun is linked to Adobe Reader, JavaScript is added to the appropriate folder to launch the PDF file
4. Burn CD-ROM/DVD
  • 4.1. The CD-ROM/DVD layout is validated and saved correctly
  • 4.2. The preferred CD-ROM/DVD format is chosen for the job
  • 4.3. A test CD-ROM/DVD is burned to test the auto functions and confirm interactivity across different platforms
  • 4.4. A master disc is produced for mass duplication

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
Create an interactive CD-ROM/DVD that starts automatically and has no errors in any of the interactive functions
Create TWO different interactive CD-ROMs/DVDs which start automatically, have no errors in any of the interactive functions and besides autorun they will link with a reader for computers without a reader installed
Evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
appropriate computer hardware and software.

Method of assessment
The following assessment method is appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
