Foundation Skills
This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.
|
Skill
|
Description
|
|
Numeracy
|
- Uses whole numbers, decimals and percentages applicable to file size, software and hardware specifications, measurement, font size, scale, ratio, coordinates, colour, shading and other attributes and variables in developing 3-D components and timelines
- Defines timeframes in accordance with schedule requirements
|
|
Oral communication
|
- Obtains information and expresses ideas and solutions by employing listening and open questioning techniques using plain English and games development terminology
|
|
Reading
|
- Identifies and interprets briefs and applicable technical documentation containing complex task-specific terminology
- Interprets and comprehends computer generated text, diagrams, icons, symbols, numbers and letters required in using 3-D application software
|
|
Self-management
|
- Makes routine decisions and implements standard procedures in routine tasks
- Uses formal decision-making processes in more complex and non-routine situations
- Evaluates work and implements improvements using a systematic process
- Identifies importance of file format and takes responsibility in data integrity and management
|
|
Technology
|
- Completes routine tasks using specific digital systems and tools
|
