Digital Technology – AS

The course covers the following areas:

Module 1: Information Systems

This section is about acquiring knowledge and understanding of information systems which is assessed by means of a 2.25 hour written examination. However, candidates will also draw upon this knowledge during their practical work in Unit IT2, and it acts as a foundation for Unit IT4 (Use and Impact of ICT), for those candidates going on to the A2 Level.

Module 2: Presenting Information

This unit requires candidates to use ICT hardware and software applications to solve a problem involving three separate tasks:

1. The production of a document such as a leaflet or magazine
2. The production of a document containing automated routines, such as a mail merged letter
3. The production of a presentation to an audience, such as a web page or slideshow
