My brother is doing his ICT A-level and asked me for some help!
I said, I have a great band of brothers who would ably assist me in all matters PC! :D
Anyway, he needs to design or create a syatem or programme or something!
involve a third party user, who will provide information for the analysis, use the implemented solution and contribute towards its evaluation. The third party user is likely to be a user (or potential user) of a computer-based information system in business or in other organisations in the community. Whilst a teacher could act as the third party user, this arrangement is far from ideal. Candidates should be encouraged to look beyond school life into businesses and organisations in the community for their projects; involve the organisation and present them with a report on the work which has been carried out.
Anyone got anything he could use.
Some examples of things he has been asked to look at!
A local hotelier wants to have a website to advertise the facilities available at the hotel. You are to design a computer-based information system that could be used by the hotelier. This would involve the student in analysing the problem, collecting the necessary information and designing a solution, which would include a full implementation of the site.
Candidates should be aware that, on one level, this is a fairly trivial problem. The teacher/examiner will be looking for detailed analysis of the problem, and design solutions, which involve the hotelier at all stages. It will also be necessary to ensure that some of the implementation is at more than a basic level, examples could include the ability to download documents like the hotel brochure from the site, and the ability to book rooms and pay for them in advance through the site.
Ms Johnson has a small newsagent’s shop and employs eight people to deliver the papers. She wishes to be able to produce delivery lists for each morning round and each evening round. At the moment she does not deliver Sunday papers but may wish to in the future. She wants to keep details of her customers, including which morning papers and which evening papers they have and which delivery round they are on. Some customers only have one morning and one evening paper, others do not have both a morning and evening paper. Some customers have weekly magazines, some fortnightly magazines and some monthly magazines. Ms Johnson would also like to be able to produce a weekly paper bill for each customer. You are to design a computer-based information system that could be used by Ms Johnson including the facility to browse on-line for information.
This is an example of a popular type of project. Candidates should be aware that what appears to be a fairly straight forward problem to solve is actually extremely difficult to solve properly. It is a good example of the necessity of the teacher/superviser carefully explaining the problems that might arise in the middle of a project.
I know we have a few people who work with computer systems and or know about such things.
If anyone can help me help him, I would be very grateful! :D
A liberty taking vegy! :peeky
