Subfield Domain Status Computing Generic Computing Registered Status date 22 May 2009 Date version published 22 May 2009 Planned review date 31 December 2013 Entry information Replacement information Accreditation Standard setting body (SSB) Recommended: Unit 25655, Create a website using a dedicated web-authoring tool to meet a set brief, or demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills. This unit standard and unit standard replaced unit standard Evaluation of documentation by NZQA. NZQA National Qualifications Services Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP) reference 0226 This AMAP can be accessed at Special notes 1 Candidates are required to design and create a website for a stakeholder of at least four linked web pages with each page containing media and enhancements. For the purposes of this unit standard the stakeholder may be the candidate s assessor. The finished website must be of a standard suitable for live use. 2 A basic outline of the text and media content for the website may be provided to the candidate. The candidate must undertake planned stakeholder consultation in order to develop the final content for the site. While this unit standard does not assess the content of the material used to create the website, all content must comply with legislation relevant to this unit standard and be appropriate for the target audience as defined by the stakeholder.

It contains detailed specifications against which the success or otherwise of the website can be evaluated. The brief can be either created as part of the candidate s employment (in the case of workplace assessment) or in response to a set task. 4 A plan outlines how the requirements of the brief will be realised. For this unit standard, the plan is produced in conjunction with the project design and will include pre-task documented components. Evidence of planning may be oral, written, and/or graphic. Depending on the assessment context, the plan may include: key milestone outcomes; how resources such as time, expertise and materials (and finance, if appropriate) will be used to achieve the outcomes of each milestone; how consultation with stakeholders will be carried out to ensure that all constraints and requirements are met. 5 Definitions Accessibility means the web pages are able to be opened and viewed on a variety of browsers and configured to be viewed by people with disabilities such as visual impairment. Conceptual design is a representation clearly indicative of the final product. A dedicated web-authoring tool means any application that allows pages to be created using visual editors or 'what you see is what you get' (WYSIWYG) web-authoring tools. This does not include word processing, desktop publishing or presentation applications. End-user document is a short description of the purpose of the website, and instructions on how to access and navigate the website. The end-user document must use consistent font and layout, be legible, and should either avoid the use of undefined jargon or acronyms, or provide a glossary for these. The document must be saved in a format that is accessible to users. Sitemap is a graphical representation of the architecture of a website that shows the relationship between pages of a website, usually in a hierarchical layout. 6 Legislation relevant to this unit standard includes but is not limited to the: Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992, Copyright Act 1994, and their subsequent amendments. 7 An assessment resource to support computing unit standards (levels 1 to 4) can be found on the NZQA website at

Please note Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment. Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.

5 Page 5 of 5 Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards. Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
