[Year 12 IT Apps] ITAPPS U4O1 Design Stage Question!

[POLLOCK, Benn(POL)]

Hi Liam,

I can't remember where I got your SAC from, but thank you! :D I do plan
on using it, it seems quite straight forward and easy to understand! The
version you attached seems to be the same version I have obtained. I
understand that students need to select appropriate design tools, but
wasn't sure whether they had to design all aspects of their database? It
says "All functional and appearance requirements".. To me that means
they need to design relationships, queries, reports and the user doc!
But in yours it says to design a Report OR a Query.. This was fine when
you got audited? I'll definitely update the raw data before the
assessment. Have you got any examples of work you can share with me for
this SAC?

Cheers

Hi,

Quick question. What software do you recommend students use to create
the onscreen user documentation for Unit 4 Outcome 1? The study design
says Web Authoring or Multimedia Authoring - do you recommend
Dreamweaver if that's what you used for the Unit 3 prototype website?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Hi Benn,

Nice to hear you're using my sac. Not sure what version that was so
here's the changed version I made after being audited. Yes it needed
design for the user doc. 

The reason for the choice of tools is to match the key skill "select and
apply appropriate design tools to represent solutions" so they are
selecting the tool. If you tweak it in a to get better compliance with
designed "all functional and appearance requirements" let me know.  Easy
to add more as most students finished the initial part one and two in
under 45 minutes so it was a little short. Also you may want to check
the data you have so you get responses to the hires over the last month
query. I'm not using it this year so haven't updated the data.

Love to have any feedback you have about using it.

Cheers

Hello There,

I hope we've all enjoyed our holidays! 

Quick question with regards to U4O1.. When students are completing the
design stage of the SAC, do they need to design every aspect, including
Queries, Reports etc? The sac I'm using ("Als Androids") has only
mentioned that a student needs to design two things (from a choice of
various design tools). First they must demonstrate relationships between
tables and secondly, they must describe either the appearance of a
report OR query. 

I looked through the assessment handbook and came across this from the
41-50 marks section; "All functional and appearance requirements of the
ongoing solution and the user documentation are accurately represented
in appropriate design tools". 

>From this, I gather that students are also required to design the look
of their User Documentation also? What is everyone else's take on this?

Cheers!
