[Year 12 IT Apps] Outcome 2

[Mark]

Hi Paula.  I don't really want to re-open a stale can of worms on such a
nice sunny day, but...

On *which* page of the study design (apart from the extra 's' in the word
'organisations' on page 37) does it 'require more than one organisation to
be included in the assessment task.’?

There is only *one* organisation mentioned in the detailed example on page
74, so it seems that even the study design writers didn't notice this
requirement.

There *is* a statement requiring more than one organisation, but it only
appears in the *Assessment Handbook* in "*Sample Approaches* to
School-Assessed Coursework" (p.25) which is *not mandatory*.
