INTRODUCTION
HEART Trust/NTA has adopted, as a policy, a competency-based approach for the design,
development, and presentation of instructional materials in all its training programmes. This
concept is closely linked with the thrust in Technical Vocational Education and Training towards
competency-based training and performance-based assessment. Competency by its definition
relates to the ability to demonstrate the requisite knowledge, skill and attitudes in carrying out/
performing a specific task at an acceptable level.
This curriculum is presented in a modular format, and is benchmarked against the Competency
Standards for Digital Animation Level Two of the Information Technology Industry developed
by the National Council on Technical Vocational Education and Training (NCTVET). Modules
cover major areas of competencies and are an organized group of learning experiences
assembled to achieve a specific group of related objectives.1 Each modular unit is designed to
be self-contained so that the successful completion of training in a modular unit would ensure the
acquisition of the minimum skill levels for performing the activity under employment conditions.
The modular training system allows for the continuous adaptation of training programmes and
independent units can be combined to suit the needs of individual learners, technical
development and to reflect changes in the occupation.
MODULE FORMAT
Each module is comprised of the following components:

Module Objective
The module objective gives an overview of the module and highlights what the learner must be
able to do in order to demonstrate competence.
Knowledge Requirement
This component focuses on the cognitive domain and deals with the principles of operations,
theories, and related knowledge, which must be applied in the performance of the practical
activities.
Performance Requirement
This component focuses on the psychomotor domain and describes what the learner must do to
demonstrate competence. These are specific operations/activities which the learner must master.

LRDD- CDA-L2-1.0
November 2013
Attitudinal/Critical Employability Skills Requirements

This aspect focuses on the appropriate types of behaviour that the learner must employ in
carrying out the specific learning activity.
Related Content
This aspect highlights specific information/content pertinent to the knowledge requirement.
Instructional Strategies (Methods and Media)
This component specifies how the different types of instructional strategies (methods and media)
can be used to facilitate effective instructional delivery. The following list is by no means
exhaustive and it is assumed that the facilitator will utilize many other creative methods of
instruction.
Demonstrations
Illustrated lectures
Guided practice
Tutoring/coaching
Individual training
Case studies
Panel discussions
On-the-job training
Role-play
Subject matter experts
Discussions
Individual study
Study/field trips
Audio tapes
DVDs
CDs
Videos
Document Cameras
Multimedia
Podcasts
Blogs
Module Time
The module times suggested represent recommended contact hours between learners and the
facilitator. These time allocations are estimates and it is therefore anticipated that module hours
might be adjusted to meet the needs of individual learners.
References
References suggested at the end of each module represent a sample of texts, internet websites
and audio-visual materials which have been found to be compatible with course requirements.
The selection is not exhaustive and facilitators/learners are encouraged to make use of other
reference materials which support the competency-based mode of the curriculum.

NOTE
Assessment Statement
For competence to be assessed, the learner should be observed demonstrating the required
performance at the desired standard, in a range of different contexts on an on-going basis.
Assessment should be based on the objectives of the modules inclusive of the knowledge, the
performance and attitudinal/employability skills requirements. Careful attention must be paid to
the units of competency in the qualification plan of the Competency Standards for Digital
Animation level Two developed by the National Council on Technical and Vocational Education
and Training (NCTVET).
Assessment may include: on the job, off the job, or a combination of both and should be flexible,
valid and fair. The modes of assessment may include but are not limited to:
Direct observation
Oral questions
Written tests
Case studies
Portfolios
Practical exercises
Rating sheets
Self-evaluations
NOTE TO THE FACILITATOR
The underlying objective of all competency based training programmes is to promote a genuine
concern for the learning of each individual learner. When learning problems are identified
strategies must be employed to determine and address the cause. Provision must be made for
alternative teaching strategies based on the needs of the learner. Special programmes should also
be developed for learners with particular learning difficulties.
In any one group, learners will exhibit a range of skills/competencies and aptitudes and will
proceed at varying pace through the modules. Facilitators are therefore encouraged to be flexible
in order to allow learners to proceed in a manner compatible with their learning styles.

Demonstration
Demonstrate for learners how to identify animation requirements including design

specifications and scope for 2D animation. Demonstrate how to use industry standard
software such as ToonBoom Animate Pro and Maya 2D to produce key drawings and 2D
animation. Following the demonstration, present learners with resources to produce and
evaluate 2D animations. At the end of the exercises, follow-up questions may be asked to
ensure learners understanding of materials. Allow learners to discuss their completed
animation with a partner.
Research
Have learners conduct research on 2D animations in the media to review websites they
may have located on different animations platforms. This could be anything from simple
roll over effects to banners and scripting to gain an understanding of the factors that are
needed to be considered when creating a different animation platform. Have them look at
the load times and the compression and optimisation settings that are needed and testing
across a range of platforms that may include mobile technologies. Discuss with them the
importance of considering the needs of the users or the people that will look at the site
and how to meet the requirements of the client.
Let learners use appropriate computer application such as PowerPoint to present their
findings. Reinforce the research with group discussions.

Simulation of Activities
Prepare a virtual classroom for learners to watch varied online video tutorials such as
Edge Animate Essential Training, Creating an Animated Info Graphic with Edge Animate
by Chris Converse, Fundamentals of Flash Animation by Kelly McCathran and 21CC
Animating with Stop Motion software instructional video.
N. B. 21CC Animating with Stop Motion software instructional video demonstrates the
animation process.
Guide the groups step-by-step through the instructions described in the video to ensure
they have the correct preferences and project properties set up and that the software is
picking up the plugged in DV camera and not the inbuilt one. All of the instructions for
these settings are described in the video.
Check that learners have secured their background artwork to the table and the DV
camera is facing downward and the picture is well framed.
Allow the learners to begin taking frames. Give each learner a different role, one can be
the camera operator, one can be the director, and the others can concentrate on moving
the characters. Roles can also be rotated during this process.
Ask learner to make small movements in between each frame to create a smoother
animation. Remind them to use the onion-skinning technique described in the video to
help guide their movements.
Once all the groups have taken all their frames, guide them through the process of
exporting their movie as described in the instructional video.
At the end of the lesson, play the animations back to the whole class. Discuss what has
worked well and what could be improved next time.
Have procedures executed in partnership with private sector companies using assets
provided by them that relate to real world animation productions.
