[Year 12 SofDev] What is considered to be a module?

[Allan Barnes]

A software module is just a small part of the overall solution, for example,
one button that does something.

 

 

 

Kind regards

Hi,

 

This is my first time ever teaching VCE Software Development.

 

The IT study design asks that the software development 3 students develop a
software module as part of Outcome 2 but is strangely silent on what a
module is.

 

The text Dawson and Janson is not helpful here either.

 

If I use the example assessment task from the study design that involves the
quotes for painting. Then from my point of view I see this as being broken
into an number of modules, two of which may be a module to gather customer
details and another to do the actual costing. But as a programming task
these seem to be rather small. Am I on the wrong track here?

 

Any clarification/suggestions gratefully received.
