the study design together with material that has previously existed in the Assessment handbook. This means that all advisory content will be housed together. Also, the performance descriptors for 2016 and beyond have been written in the form of a rubric so
the content is read horizontally rather than vertically. The Advice for Teachers for Computing will come as a web resource.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Went to the information session last on the new study design. Asked about the use of CMS. It looks like you will have no issues using CMS for Unit 1 outcome 3, (which is good because they are a nice way for student
to collaboratively create a website). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For informatics it becomes a matter of making sure that all key knowledge points and key skills can be covered. The issue that seems to be raised with the use of CMS is student being able to create the websites
they have designed on paper. CMS seems to be seen as limiting your design option (I think).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Good news is not all CMS solutions are blogs and some of them are relatively powerful when it comes to giving you choice on how your site looks and they always give you the option to get access to the html code
to make even more custom changes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The cynic in me is thinking about how many students design a webpage to look similar to a template provided on Dreamweaver.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Essentially if the solution can hit all of the KK and KS you can probably use it. Don’t take my word on that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Oh and don’t think I love CMS, I’m just looking for free alternatives. Now I’m off to look at eBooks and other digital publications that aren’t websites but are still online.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Lastly, how online does the online solution have to be. Does the solution have to be potential online like a website saved on the local computer or do we need to be able to access the solution from another network.
For those of you think about doing websites how are you going to get your students to host their work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
