The range statement in the training package says:

May include but are not limited to commercial software applications;
organisation-specific software; word processing, spreadsheet, database,
graphic, communication packages and presentation functionalities. May
include presentation applications contained in Microsoft Office, Lotus
Suite, Claris Works, Star Office or other similar applications.


Knowledge and skills Knowledge includes:

? Detailed knowledge of functions and features of software applications 
? General knowledge of organisational security procedures 
? Organisational policy for customising software 
? Broad knowledge of IT structure and system infrastructure 
? Organisational policy and procedures relating to customising software 
? General knowledge of functions and features of the operating system 
? Current industry-accepted hardware and software products, with broad
knowledge of general features and capabilities 

Skills include:

? Decision making, in the context of determining whether the new features
are useful or desirable 
? Application skills 
? Customising skills 
? Solving problems when customising an application's features, in order to
implement the new modifications appropriately 
? Questioning and active listening to convey and clarify complex information
(e.g. when eliciting the requirements of features in the package from an
end-user) 
? Ability to analyse and interpret technical aspects of implementation in
relation to initial problems and issues 
? Use of simple programming constructs





Therefore as long as the program you want to use is a commercial software
application, and students can use the program to demonstrate the knowledge

My class wants to do some programming for these units.
The problem is that  I don't know what they can do because of the unit
guidelines say they must use an application and there must be 3
applications.

APPLICATIONS STREAM
ICAU3126A Use advanced features of computer applications 40
ICAU3028A * Customise packaged software applications for clients 60


Which of these can we teach in the above 2 subjects

1) asp.net with  visual web developer which can be considered an application
(
2)vb.net
3) silverlight
4)gimp

CAn  I get students to create an application which communicates with
Acces/EXcel  or uses graphics from Gimp ?
