Subject: U3OC2 query ....trolling for ideas...Kent

Hello peoples,
Just doing some thought on what I might do for OC2 being my first attempt at this in such a long time!

My idea is actually quite a simple one which can utilize arrays and data structures etc into it I feel.
Here 'tis...

Basically,
A 'Restuarant or similar business' has a menu based online booking system to be built for use(for this outcome, just the system is to be built with the GUI being simply a form with appropriate 'events' on it).
My idea is to have it looking basically as:
                 BUSINESS NAME
                        BOOKINGS MENU

1. ENTREE                                   (button or d/down box for order- maybe have the contents in a text file)
2. MAIN COURSE                        (button or d/down box for order- maybe have the contents in a text file)
3. DESSERT                                  (button or d/down box for order- maybe have the contents in a text file)
4. DRINKS                                    (button or d/down box for order- maybe have the contents in a text file)

Special needs for order                    Text box or similar

Number in party                              Suitable input option here..
Booking time requested for party      Suitable input option here too!

A button to summarize the order and maybe print or email the order to somewhere perhaps??

Essentially peoples, this is my concept to be built for this outcome based upon say, a choice of for example, 3 entree, 3 Main and maybe 3-4 dessert options.
Drinks will be from a suitable list of Beverages hot / cold.

When finally done, the user making the booking then has a copy of their order, their needs and the booking time to show when they arrive.

This could use arrays nicely storing the data selected by each choice and a list box could contain the user special needs comment perhaps.

This concept can cut down wastage and improve efficiency at the resturant end and hence improve its operational efficiency.

I was thinking to do this as my task for this outcome and then build this into an App or similar for U4OC1 task by taking it that next step to a portable device(phone) with some slight updates/improvements I have in mind.

Sooo, if I could have some feedback on whether this is a good idea or not. I like the concept and feel it can be worded to meet the need of the outcome.
Comments, ideas welcome.

If anyone else is doing a similar concept or has already written one and cares to share, I am happy to exchange ideas. I had thought of developing this whole concept for an online booking system.
VB.NET<http://VB.NET> is my poison of choice!

Subject: Re: [Year 12 SofDev] [Year 12 IT Apps] Coursework Audit

Dear colleagues

This year the VCAA is implementing a new audit process, and for each unit there are two stages. The first stage involves schools completing a survey, and as a result of the responses, the review panel recommends if schools proceed to the second stage. This stage is basically like the old process, whereby schools submit to the VCAA tasks that have given to the students and the accompanying marking schemes. What is also new this year is that further material can be requested such as the data sets supplied to the students that accompany the tasks and samples of completed student work.

Can I just say that nearly all schools that completed the survey are requested to go to Stage 2 and supply further evidence. No schools have had their tasks checked this year through the audit process.

Let me know if you want further explanations of the process, however, details appeared in the VCE Bulletin Supplement in December last year at:

Hi all,

I have included details below regarding audits - all publicly available material.

The following information has been provided to schools regarding Coursework Audit

http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/correspondence/notices/2011/20.html

Only change from past years is with regard to submisison which is now done as one pdf per subject.

This information is from the Adminitrative handbook - it is online as well as hardcopy in school (see VCE Coordinator)

VCE School-assessed Coursework audit
As part of the VCAA ongoing monitoring and quality assurance program for the VCE, samples of assessment tasks for School-assessed Coursework tasks in each VCE study and scored VCE VET program can be requested for audit from schools. Schools will receive notification of audit by email.
This email is the School Coursework Audit Notification (SCAN).
Schools should have a process for collecting and storing the required material for submission by the VCAA due date.
The audit material portfolio should contain details of each task set by the teacher.
Supporting documentation from teachers should include:
* details of the marking scheme used by the teacher for each task * the conditions under which the task/s were undertaken.
The audit is integral to the quality assurance processes of the VCAA.
The audit process will be undertaken by the State Reviewer, and a small panel for each study if required. The outcomes of the audit will assist in planning the VCAA's assessment advice and professional development support for teachers. The audit will also examine school-based assessments for irregularities, for example cases where the VCAA's requirements have not been followed. A checklist for the audit is published each year as the 'Administrative advice for school-based assessment' supplement to the February VCAA Bulletin VCE, VCAL and VET.
This checklist should be completed for each audited study.

The VCAA will draw any irregularities identified by the auditing process to the attention of the principal. In the event of serious irregularity, the Executive Committee of the VCAA will determine whether disciplinary or other procedures will apply and may alter schools' assessments in the light of evidence presented.
Schools will receive initial feedback on the outcomes of the audit by email.

Feel free to contact me directly if you need any further information Regards Claudia

Hi,

I wouldnt mind if some could send a well formatted unit planner. I am not sure how much detail is required here as I have seen examples with a unit planner as simply 'Dreamweaver for the week ', and mine I like to write descriptions and instructions.

Hi,

I have been audited 3 times in 4 years.  The other times I was given more than 2 weeks to submit the documents and also wasn't required to to produce documents like unit planner/students SAC authentication signatures on certain forms.  It was not retropspective either. I aslo had someone to contact to ask questions.

Sounds like if I don't get it right then I am in for further poroblems.

Anyway few things

1)Could I submit my SAC and unit planner for some feedback.

Andrew

I don't think it's something to be taken personally.  At the start of a new study design VCAA always audit more widely.

I'm being audited in Software Development, and Adrian is too.

At the start of the last study design, I was audited for ITA.

Join the club.
