<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Schools recently involved in the Unit 4 audit were required to complete a question relating to the scope of Outcome 2. The majority of schools indicated that students evaluated the information management strategies of only one organisation,
however, the outcome states ‘organisations’. The requirement to address more than one organisation gives greater flexibility in designing tasks as there are opportunities for organisational practices to be addressed through case study/s and standalone questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For further information about this I recommend that you read the State Reviewer’s Report on the VCAA website at:
<a href="http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/vce/technology/2011ITApplicationsSAC.pdf">
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/vce/technology/2011ITApplicationsSAC.pdf</a> An extract from that report reads ‘<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The new study design also requires more than one organisation to be included
in the assessment task.’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any further queries regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.<o:p></o:p></p>
