[Year 12 IT Apps] U4O2

[Christophersen, Paula P]

Dear Joyce and colleagues

I would just like to clarify a point about the detailed examples in the Advice for teachers section. I would like to emphasise that they are not sample SACs - the detailed examples typically address part or most of an outcome, but they never cover all of the requirements. This is deliberate - we do not want publically available tasks for students for authentication purposes.

Regards
Paula

Hi all

I am starting to plan for the Unit 4 Outcome 2 SAC and after reading the sample SAC on page 75 of the study design, I have become seriously confused.  Can someone please help out with the following:


1.       Question 2a asks to list the threats to the integrity and security of data and information, which I am assuming students will need to take from the case study. Question 3 then goes on to ask what are the ineffective information management strategies.  Can anyone give me an explanation of how this is different to question 2a?
(The way I see it , is it is the ineffective management strategies that open them up to the threats ...)


2.       Question 5, asks students to select six information management strategies and propose criteria that could be used to evaluate their effectiveness, then students are required to apply their criteria to evaluate the effectiveness.  I get the first part,  but how can students apply their criteria?



3.       Question 6 ask students to list four current practices used by the organisation to manage the storage, communication and disposal of data, how is this question different to question 1B, what are the information management strategies used by the organisation to store, communicate and dispose of data


If anyone can shed some light on these questions, that would be really helpful.

Thanks
Joyce
