Year 11 Web Design Unit

Students were asked to develop a web-based solution for a specified issue, using combinations of text, images, audio, and animation, paying particular attention to the link between content and design. The unit was designed to further embed recent improvements to teaching and assessment within the school's Technology Faculty – see case study BP 604: Teaching Technology in an ICT Context. Key aims of the unit were to increase the depth of ICT knowledge and skills in parallel with an increase in the complexity of Technological Practice and to reinforce the link between Technological Practice and ICT knowledge and skills. Outcomes achieved include improved teacher-student interaction and a streamlined assessment process.
