Year 12 ICT, full year project
Teacher: Malcolm Howard
Students were asked to produce a multimedia CD-ROM addressing an issue in which they had a personal interest. John elected to produce a CD-ROM about the Kaimai Ranges because he identified a lack of interactive resources outlining things to do and see in the region.
The CD-ROM had to be accurate, user-friendly, meet all relevant legal requirements (including international copyright laws) and the expectations of the target audience (people with little or no outdoor experience). It had to be compatible with a range of operating systems and meet all stakeholder requirements.
After doing extensive research, John set about his task with imagination and flair. 
The CD-ROM is well designed, interactive and colourful, and includes:
- a gallery with a wide range of pictures from the ranges
- information about important tracks
- detailed maps showing points of interest
- location of and key information about Department of Conservation huts
Teacher comment
In producing his interactive guide to the Kaimai Ranges, John demonstrated good Technological Practice and achieved a high quality outcome, incorporating photos, text, graphic images, audio and animations into the final product.
