Thanks for a great resource Antonia.<br>
For 1a I'll add some info about how the data is currently processed. I
read that Fitz uses a calculator to work out commission but did I miss
how he records the sales data? The sample data suggests it comes from
an existing database.<br>
<br>
I'd be interested to know how much help others are giving their
students. I never give them the fields or conventions or details of the
project plan. I expect them to figure those out for themselves from the
stated information required in reports. When I use case studies
requiring an upgrade of an existing database system, I give them fields
that must be changed to meet the new requirements eg the name field
containing both first and last names, and the whole address in one
field. Especially now they only have two assessment tasks to do
instead of three, I think we can expect more from them.<br>
I just checked the advice for teachers in the study design and the
sample task on p69 is also limited on help for the students (and no I
didn't write it!)<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear ITA teachers
first of all I too would like to extend my greatest thanks to Mark Kelly for his work and support - without it I would have been lost on many occasions.
In response to Brendyn- obviously in our haste to get the VITTA product out on time some errors slipped through - my apologies.
Secondly, I included the Web storyboards, which I got either from this list or a PD at the onset of the last study design (2000) the source was not available. Again my apologies and thank you for all that you have done also.
The CD writers have discussed the publication of suggested solutions though I am sure that you can appreciate that we are all full time teachers who are also teaching this course for the first time.
Attached are the original versions of Unit 3 Outcome 1 tasks - blast that copy and paste!

Greetings all.
Very interesting... is all I will say about the most commented on
thread for ages. :-)
Thanks Mark for your hours and years of selfless contribution to our
teaching fraternity.
Anyway.
In looking and reading the VITTA support disk's sample SAC for U3O1
'Merriie Sailing Club' I got confused when I got through to the section
titled Problem Solving Steps-Analysis and it started to talk about a
company called Home Health and a Mr Fitz and his employees.
Can anyone "please explain...?" This seems to have come from elsewhere.
Are there any suggested solutions to these sample sacs.
I also noticed that the Web Page story boards (off the VITTA CD) which
I have contributed to the design of does not have my name in the footer.
Now... as I understand it I dont have to register my copyright for it to
be recognised so.....
:-)
Thanks all.
