<DIV dir=ltr>Hi Paula. I don't really want to re-open a stale can of

<DIV><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">On <B>which</B> page of the

<DIV><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">There is only <B>one</B>

<P>Dear colleagues<U></U><U></U></P>
<P><U></U><U></U> </P>
<P>Schools recently involved in the Unit 4 audit were required to complete a
question relating to the scope of Outcome 2. The majority of schools
indicated that students evaluated the information management strategies of
only one organisation, however, the outcome states ‘organisations’. The
requirement to address more than one organisation gives greater flexibility
in designing tasks as there are opportunities for organisational practices
to be addressed through case study/s and standalone
questions.<U></U><U></U></P>
<P><U></U><U></U> </P>
<P>For further information about this I recommend that you read the State
Reviewer’s Report on the VCAA website at: <A
href="http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/vce/technology/2011ITApplicationsSAC.pdf"
target=_blank>http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/vce/technology/2011ITApplicationsSAC.pdf</A>
An extract from that report reads ‘<SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',serif; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt">The new
study design also requires more than one organisation to be included in the
assessment task.’<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>
