[Year 12 SofDev] New study design - SD:CT&P

[Adrian Janson]

Hi everyone,

Hope the year has started well for you!

With the new study design being posted yesterday, I will be beginning to
work on the new edition of Software Development: Core Techniques and
Principles for the new course.

I would like to ask some questions of you however (as part of the Analysis
phase!). I don't mind if you want to reply here or off-list.

One of the things I have been careful about with the text, is representing
the entire course (and not much else). In writing it, I map all of the KK
points to the chapters and then write the content - ensuring that I don't
step outside the bounds of the Study Design (or at least - not too far). I
also ensure that the PSM and the glossary points are all included and
discussed at appropriate points. Some KK points are very succinct while
others are quite open - and we rely on the community / VCAA to help define
the boundaries. In the past, I have clarified points with VCAA so that I
can represent these boundaries as best I can - both for teachers and for
students.

However, is this an approach that you all like?

That is, would you prefer a text that is the study design (and nothing
else)? Or would you prefer a text that contains extra material that allows
students to expand their knowledge if they wish?

Please let me know your thoughts! Any other feedback would also be much
appreciated!

Regards,
Adrian Janson
