Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Define specification for CGI script	1.1 Determine the functionality of the CGI form 1.2 Define the functionality of the CGI script 1.3 Choose appropriate language in which to write the CGI script 1.4 Determine server requirements
2. Create CGI form and write script	2.1 Produce a hypertext markup language (HTML) web document that uses the form elements required by the CGI script specification and includes the uniform resource locator (URL) for the CGI script 2.2 Write the CGI script to function as required by the CGI script specification
3. Test CGI script	3.1 Configure the server, if required, that will host the CGI script 3.2 Upload the CGI script to the server 3.3 Run the CGI form and assess its output 3.4 Reiterate until the specification for the CGI script is met

Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

Skill	Performance Criteria	Description
Writing	1.2, 2.1, 2.2	Prepares workplace documentation that incorporates an evaluation of technical information and specialised and cohesive language in a format and style appropriate to a specific audience
Numeracy	2.1, 3.3, 3.4	Analyses numerical data to determine functionality of script
Get the work done	1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 3.1-3.4	Takes responsibility for planning and organising own workload, identifying ways of sequencing, prioritising and monitoring own work Uses familiar digital systems and tools to access, organise, analyse and display information relevant to role Understands the purposes, specific functions and key features of common digital systems and tools, and operates them effectively to complete routine tasks Makes a range of important decisions in relatively complex situations, taking a range of constraints into account When dealing with complex issues, may use intuition to identify the general problem area, switching to analytical processes to clarify goals
