[Year 12 IT Apps] REVIEW OF VCE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE STUDY DESIGN

[Robert]

Oh dear!

I happen to like databases. They are used considerably in the "real world". 
Sure they are not the only IT app, but should we "tart" the course up to 
attract the less interested students, or should we have a course that does 
mirror the real world of IT?
