[Year 12 IT Apps] FW: cross post - Unit1-2

[Brendyn Hancock]

Kevork

Thank you.

I just find it so strange that the product is packaged this way. Who uses it like this? It would be better to just get a list of questions marked with AOS and let teachers build their own exams.

I'm diappointed they will not be correcting this for 2011.

Cheers

Brendyn

Dear All,

Just to let you know that VITTA has produced a combined Unit 1 & 2 Exam pack
for many years. We thank Brendyn for his suggestion of producing  separate
Units1 and 2 Exams. This has been placed as an agenda item for discussion at
the next VITTA committee meeting for the 2012 exams.

 

On a related matter, nominations for the VITTA Committee are now open and
VITTA members are eligible to nominate: See
http://www.vitta.org.au/about/asset_id/14/cid/4/parent/0/t/about/title/vitta
-committee-nominations-2012 for more information. We would welcome all input
to our subcommittees in the areas of: Resources (including exams),
Professional Learning, the Annual Conference, Student events and
competitions and Primary Education.

Jo

Quite agree, Brendan.  VITTA should supply a separate exam for Unit 2, as
they did for Unit 1 as most schools have end of semester exams rather than
just end of year exams.  This also caters for students who didn't do Unit 1
and have picked up IT in Unit 2.  I hope there are sufficient requests via
this list (and direct emails) to ensure this happens.

 

On your other point, I did use some of the questions from the VITTA exam but
had to modify section B a bit as I felt there were too many Design questions
and not enough questions on the basic IT theory (eg. PSM, phases of info
processing, etc.)

 

regards

All

 

Apologies for a bit of a cross post.

 

I have purchased the unit 1-2 exams from VITTA. When they arrived last term,
they came as combined Unit 1-2 exams, ie questions from both units in one
exam. I contacted them and they subsequently sent through a Unit 1 only
exam. I now want a Unit 2 exam.

 

My question is do any of you use these exams and do you use them as combined
Unit 1-2 exmas or do you separate them out?

 

I'm a bit bemused that they have offered the exam products in this format.

 

Any comments?


Cheers
