Applied ICT - Summary of course content - The course is modular, with three units studied for AS (typically in year 12), and a further three studied at A2 (in year 13) to complete the A level. Exam board and syllabus: OCR115, 515. AS Level - The AS qualification is comprised of two coursework units, GO40 Using ICT to communicate and GO42 ICT solutions for individuals and society, together with an examination unit GO41. GO40 focuses on developing a set of six high quality communications for a fictitious organisation such as a local Estate Agent. You will look at examples of good practice for similar documents, and show that you can develop and document the progression of your work. GO42 is all about using a range of ICT skills to research, refine and present a report on a relevant topic (such as setting yourself up as a car owner/driver). The assignment in GO42 is the sort of process many students in further/higher education will meet. The examination GO41 How organisations use ICT is based on a fictitious case study, usually about a business that is considering improving its ICT facilities, and asks you to consider the implications of these changes. You have the opportunity to prepare for this examination by making notes that you can then take into the examination with you. A Level - To gain a full A level qualification you need to complete three more coursework units. These are typically GO50 Interactive multimedia products, GO53 Developing and creating websites, and GO48 Working to a brief. GO50 and GO53 focus on analysing existing, designing and creating websites and multimedia products. The final stages are testing and evaluating your work. GO48 is completed in parallel with one of GO50 or GO53, and is concerned with planning and managing an extensive ICT project.
