[Informatics] Legislation clarification

Wed Aug 31 22:35:24 AEST 2016

Hi

I’ve been wondering about this too.  Thanks Mark and Michael for your question and answer.

So, the Exam Specifications  document for 2016 – 2019 states “The study design includes the sections ‘Glossary’ (pages 11–13) …” and then states “All of the key knowledge and skills that underpin the outcomes in Units 3 and 4 are examinable.”

As the Spam Act is mentioned in the Glossary but is not referenced in the KK or KS for Unit 3 and 4 Informatics, then do we presume it is not examinable?   I seem to recall an exam question a few years ago that was referenced in the Glossary and taught in Unit 1 or 2 appearing in the Unit 3 / 4 exam.

Any advice appreciated before we start revision and review the Glossary.

Thanks

Joseph

This would be why these Acts were mentioned in the textbook, true? (your contribution, Mark?)

Cheers,

Hi Michael. As I read it...

U3O2 KK7 implies - but does not name (which is odd) - laws about
- privacy [we must assume Privacy Act, Health Records Act, and the PDP]
- intellectual property [Copyright]
- human rights requirements [the Charter]

U4O2 KK3 specifically names the...
- Privacy Act,
- Privacy and Data Protection Act
- Health Records Act.

The Spam Act is not named (or implied) in Info KK at all.
(But it does appear in SD.)

Just checking… as far as the Study Design is concerned: The Spam Act 2003, Charter for Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 and the Copyright Act 1968 (and its amendments)  are now only covered in Unit 3 Outcome 2? And Unit 4 Outcome 2 only looks at the Privacy Act 1988, Data Protection Act 2014 and Health Records Act 2001?  Interesting that the Health Records Act 2001 is covered in both Outcomes.  Am I right, or have I missed something?
