Information Technology] Data Flow Diagrams<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I'm preparing for DFDs, something I've not taught before. The Potts
text give two pages of, too me, brief cover. When I look at the DFD examples on
the VITTA support cd, I feel I'm way short of knowing much about them.
Context/level 0 diagrams are fine, but going further seems to leave a lot of
interpretation to the imagination. Given that my students aren't very worldly, I
don't expect them to grasp the topic very easily.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>How deep are we expected to cover DFDs? The study design lists: <SPAN
class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Times">tools for
representing data flows, including data fl ow diagrams.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone have any notes to better explain level 1 and level 2?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Regards<BR>
