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

Fri Aug 12 12:44:35 EST 2011

All we received was a revised version of the Unit 1 exam (I used this as
a practice exam mid-year), nothing yet for Unit 2.....

This would be fine except I have had about 5 students pick up IT in Unit
2 without undertaking Unit 1, so it would be unfair to set the VITTA
exam for them at this stage.

Cheers

I thought that VITTA had sent out a revised edition of the Unit 1&2
exams. I certainly have them in separate forms.

If you raised this issue 4 years ago, why hasn't anything happened?
Does there really need to be a meeting of the VITTA committee to get all
this sorted out?  Clearly there is a need - I can't understand what the
problem is .

Perhaps we should all get together and contribute say 3 multiple choice
questions and a couple of short answers, put them on line for others to
edit/use and we would have a Unit 2 exam in no time (without having to
pay for it)

I would be interested in knowing what others think and if they would be
willing to participate - perhaps we could set up a google docs area to
share, which could be added to once we get a bit further through the
course

Actually, this issue was raised about 4 or 5 years ago, but nothing
happened from VITTA and I wrote my own separate unit 1 and 2 exams.

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/v
itta-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.

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.)

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

Brendyn
