Summary

 

The review was undertaken to ensure that the unit standards continued to meet sector requirements, were fit for purpose, and enabled consistent assessment decisions.  Text and Information Management - Generic unit standards had a planned review date of December 2009.  Feedback from providers throughout New Zealand with accreditation for the domain Text and Information Management - Generic indicated that these unit standards should be reviewed to reflect changes within the computing sectors.

 

A panel made up of representatives of stakeholders reviewed the unit standards, and National Qualification Services consulted with a wider 'e-consultation' network.  Changes were made to the unit standards in keeping with sector feedback and the purpose of the review.  The changes to the unit standards were endorsed by the panel and the wider 'e-consultation' network.

·         Titles for unit standards 12884-12887 were amended to improve clarity and more accurately reflect the intended outcomes.

·         Explanatory notes were updated to improve accuracy.

·         The purpose statements, outcomes, and evidence requirements were updated to improve accuracy and consistency with the outcomes of the unit standards.
