Principles of Assessment
Based on Clauses 1.8 – 1.12 from the Australian Standards Quality Assurance’s (ASQA) Standards for Registered Training
Organizations (RTO) 2015, the learner would be assessed based on the following principles:
Fairness - (1) the individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process, (2) where appropriate, reasonable
adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual leaner’s needs and, (3) the RTO informs
the leaner about the assessment process, and provides the learner with the opportunity to challenge the result
of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary.
Flexibility – assessment is flexible to the individual learner by; (1) reflecting the learner’s needs, (2) assessing competencies
held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired and, (3) the unit of competency and
associated assessment requirements, and the individual.
Validity – (1) requires that assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements
covers the broad range of skills and knowledge, (2) assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their
practical application, (3) assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates tat a leaner could
demonstrate these skills and knowledge in other similar situations and, (4) judgement of competence is based
on evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment
requirements.
Reliability – evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are comparable
irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment
Rules of Evidence
Validity – the assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes, as described in the module
of unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.
Sufficiency – the assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence enables a
judgement to be made of a learner’s competency.
Authenticity – the assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work. This would
mean that any form of plagiarism or copying of other’s work may not be permitted and would be deemed
strictly as a ‘Not Yet Competent’ grading.
Currency – the assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This requires the
assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.

Assessment Week 1
1. Knowledge Management systems – This is a system which refers to or uses and Information Technology system
to store and retrieve knowledge and information. The KMS (Knowledge Management System) improves
collaborations, locates knowledge sources, mines repositories for hidden knowledge, captures and uses
knowledge and enhances knowledge management processes. Commonly knowledge management systems are
used in business administration as the information which is collected is essential to the business and must be
stored in a location which is easily accessible.The following activity has been designed for all learners to
complete.
a. When researching a
knowledge
management system
for your company
why should you first
consult with
stakeholders about
the type of knowledge
management system
to use?
An entity consults stakeholders before the development of an appropriate knowledge
management system to know the requirements of all the stakeholders. With the help of
initial consultation with these parties, proper systems will develop that fulfils the
higher expectations of all the stakeholders in restoring their interest in the business for
a long time.
b. Give examples of how
you might collect
information from
internal and external
stakeholders
Information gathered from internal stakeholders by calling seminars and conferences
to know the opinion and views of all the employees working for an entity. On another
hand, external stakeholders include customers, shareholders whose information will
collect by an entity by calling an annual general meeting. Tastes and preferences of
customers will determine by an entity by distributing samples of products among the
general public.
2. Consider a system which provides information to external stakeholders; for example, allowing suppliers to
provide quote information or customers to make purchases (You can use the Xerox system to complete the table.)
a. Objectives of the
system
Purchasing system has selected for the current task whose objectives is mention
below:
 Purchase management system emphasises on creating the actual value
of money offered by the firm to a variety of customers in the form of quality
oriented goods and services.
 Low prices set by the firm to steal the attention of most of the buyers as
compared to their competitors.
 Reliable product is offered to the customers at lower prices is to
maintain the long-term relationship with all the consumers.

b. Training Strategy
What methods of
training will be used to
train the stakeholders?
Who will develop
the training
materials?
What resources
are required?
How would you
conduct follow up
training?
Brainstorming method is
used by an entity to
nurture the
communication skills
and analytical ability of
all the stakeholders.
A mentor will
arrange
a meeting of all
their team
members to
know their views
and opinions on
a specific
problem.
Notepad, pen and
blackboard are
requiring starting
the
brainstorming
session.
Increase in the
performance of
employees after
the training
sessions will
reflect the efforts
of a mentor.
On the job training
method is a technical
method to improve the
skills of all the
stakeholders in an
entity.
Manager of an
entity will take
on-the- job
training of its
employees.
Projector,
screen, laptop,
mouse, Pcs for
all the employees
attending the
workshops.
Through E-mails
follow up of all
the candidates
will take by the
managers to
know their
positive or
negative
feedbacks.
c. How would you
determine if
training has been
successful?
The success of a training method will identify by comparing the status of pre-training
and post-training to know the differential results in an employee. Changes in the
performance of a stakeholder after attending the training will show the positive traits of
a successful training delivered by the firm to all the internal stakeholders.
d. How would you
promote the
system to external
users?
A benefit of purchasing management systems is conveyed to all the external users
such as customers through the website of an entity. The flexibility of online placing of
orders is communicated to the entire user through digital marketing using Search
engine optimization.
e. What strategies
would you use to
protect the system
making sure
external users
would not make
any changes to
the system?
Cryptography technique will use by an entity which helps in securing the entire
information uses by the firm in developing a purchase management systems.
Confidential data about the available inventories kept as a secret by an entity using
public key as well as the private key. Public key held with the internal users and the
private key held with the customers who use the front end of the website. Data will not
be manipulated by the consumers as they only see front-end information published on
the websites.

3. Suggest strategies for resolving the following information management system problems:
Problem Strategy for resolving problem
a. In the knowledge
management system,
you want to summarise
your sales information
by customer type.
There is no report in the
KMS which allows you
to do this?
Data mining tool will use an entity to search for the hidden data by using
different keywords. Data will search for the team to fill the shortage of the
information as without which an entity will not able to accomplish its desired
goal.
b. You are constantly
losing data, due to your
computer constantly
crashing?
Cloud computing is used to store the data as crashing of computer will looses
the data which, in turn, not beneficial for the firm. In this way, data will get
stored on a cloud which is confidential approach for the business.
c. A supplier has received
information/data about
one of your customers
in error?
System auditing is used to identify all the errors in the system as their motive is
to provide quality oriented services to all its users.
d. Customers are
complaining about
shipping delays and
back orders?
Just in time inventory is used by an entity in which inventories purchase by the
firm from all the suppliers by just delivering the product to the customers
without storing the same in the warehouse. This method saves the delaying
time and delivers the products before the stipulated time.
4. Using the web link provides watch the video on the information/knowledge management system. Describe the
strengths and weaknesses of that system.
Strengths of the Xerox Knowledge Management System Weaknesses of the Xerox Knowledge Management System
It provides quick solutions to all the problems Poor internet connections will stop the online
support offer by the firm.
Keep information up to date Expensive service
Improve service according to the feedback of the
clients. Low quality of service

BSB50215 Diploma of Business/ BSBINM501/ 2017/ T4/ Assessment Tool Page 10 of 15

Three parameters such as
compliance, effectiveness and
efficiency are used to monitor the
overall decision support system in an
entity.
 A standard is used by the firm shows the
compliance policy of the business is required
by the system to follow.
 Taking decisions before the stipulated time
period will result in effective systems.
 Optimum utilization of all the resources while
taking decisions shows the efficiency of the
systems to take important decisions.
to the problem to deliver the quality
oriented outcome in return.
 Organizational policies and procedures act
as a standard for delivering the desired
outcome generated through the computer-
based platform.
 Data mining tool used by decision support
system to predict the future performance
of an entity in the present.
How does the knowledge management system
identify with the Privacy Act 1988?
 This law comes into existence to
deal with the privacy in protecting
the interest of all the parties.
 This Australian law aims t
safeguard the interest of an entity
from the wrong intention of
extruders to the internal systems of
the business.
 The emergence of this law gives
birth to the development of
knowledge management systems
that ensures to protect the
confidential information of the
business.
Who is responsible for ensuring the knowledge
management system complies with current
legislation?
In centralization business process, supervisors
held responsible ensuring the compliance of the
decision support systems with the current
legislation. They held responsible for keeping
