The point I wanted to make is that VCAA has listed approved types of prototypes websites for students to <b>create</b> for the outcome. <br><br>Whether that list is also meant to encapsulate every type of website in the world (needed for U3O1 key knowledge 1) is what I doubt.<br>
<br>It's just the word "type" that is so vague: we could teach kids about websites of the "tidy" type and the "untidy" type if we wanted to. <br><br>"Type" can mean anything you want it to. It's like asking about types of people - the categorisation process could last forever.<br>
<br>What I was hoping to get was the sense of "type" that the study design had in its mind.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 6 October 2010 13:58, Brendyn Hancock <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:BHancock@nagle.vic.edu.au">BHancock@nagle.vic.edu.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The students have to create a 'prototype' website that meets the needs<br>
of an online community. In the July Bulletin a list of approved types of<br>
websites was published. This means that when students respond to a<br>
scenario provided by the teacher about a particular online community -<br>
it can be a social, project/interest-based, word-based one, they should<br>
determine and create the most appropriate type of website from the<br>
following list. Types of websites include: blogs, chat rooms, forums,<br>
social networks, wikis. It may be possible, depending on type of<br>
website, to create a fully functioning website, however, all that is<br>
required is a prototype one. Just creating a 'normal' website to support<br>
the activities of an organisation does not meet the requirements of the<br>
outcome.<br>

More discussion would be appreciated.<br>
