[Yr11 Information Technology] SAc's

[Howard, David]

Call them whatever you like Andrew. I call them Reportable Tasks as that is the lexicon here. SACs as Paula says are more strict and confined to units 3&4

It may be appropriate to use more than one task type for an outcome. Flexibility exists for schools in their choice of task types. For VCAA purposes these tasks are non graded (only need Satisfactory or Non Satisfactory).

Advice about the mark allocation for each task for an outcome are provided in the Assessment Handbook located on the VCAA website at: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vcaa/vce/studies/infotech/infotechhb-2011-2014.doc
