Thanks Paula, 
This news will stop me from having to scan and OCR the whole thing.....
Could we have it in word format or at least with full security privileges
pdf so that I can export it to word for extracts and pr=E9cis ??

I bought a self-learning record to learn Spanish. I turned it on and went to
sleep; the record got stuck. The next day I could only stutter in Spanish.-

Hi Stephen and colleagues

The list of software functions is available at:
http://vels.vcaa.vic.edu.au/assessment/maps/maps_domain/ict/level6.html#H2N4
00033

(yes, and they are PDF). An abridged article regarding software functions
for IT applications is in this month=92s issue of the VCAA Bulletin.

While schools have recently received the IT Assessment Handbook it has not
been published on the website. Shortly VCAA will be posting both the study
design (2007 =96 2010) and the accompanying assessment handbook. There are
always tensions when two different study designs and assessment handbooks
are on our website for one study, so we typically wait until early December
(near the end of the current accreditation period) to replace the old
documentation with the new.

RE: the assessment handbook, because most outcomes have changed, there have
been corresponding changes in the performance descriptors. I would advise
treating the document as new rather than trying to identify only the
changes. 

Regards

Paula

Can't find the digital copiers of these docs online ??

Anyone know where they are ?

How tedious for every teacher around the state to have to extract from pdf,
reformat and then check whether this is a change or a reststement, and then
integrate into the study design....

Why not have a wiki online which always shows the current version and also
allows users to see the alterations that have been made...

OR at least maintain a curent version of all documentation online and just
alert us to which page(s) have changed....

VCE Information

Technology

Software tools and functions

In the reaccredited VCE Information Technology Study

Design, students studying IT applications (Units 3 and 4)

are required to use at least three software tools when solving

information problems. Additional tools are required to develop

a project management plan and a visual representation.

In Unit 3, Outcome 1 students use database management

software to create a relational database. In addition they must

use a software tool to create a project management report that

includes the management plan and the tracking of progress.

Appropriate software types include, for example, project

management, spreadsheets, word processing.

For Outcome 2, students use web authoring software

to create a prototype website. Additional software, such as

image editing, can be used to support the development of the

prototype.
