[Year 12 SofDev] U4 outcome 1 task 1

[Claudia Graham]

Hi Heath,

I'm currently working on an assessment sheet for both outcomes should be able to get it on list in next 24 hours.

I would agree with your comments about a solution and user interface.

Regards
Claudia

Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] U4 outcome 1 task 1

Heya All,
I've been looking at the Assessment Handbook and have become more confused as to what the U4 O1 task 1, task is supposed to represent. I think the first dot point may be incorrect in once again referring to a "prototype solution" rather than "full solution" and specifically for a "mobile phone" rather than "mobile device". In the "Approach to coursework" section it clearly refers to the need to develop a full solution not just a prototype.
There is also no performance descriptor for the development of a user interface that considers the user's needs, only "the design of the software solution is clear, technically accurate and takes into account the constraints of the mobile device".

I am presuming that it is a full solution we are developing and that the user interface developed is assessable. I really think that this section of the handbook needs some clarification.

Cheers,
Heath Matheson
