Graphics – what students must do gather stimulus material develop graphic images use graphics software tools -vector-based, bitmap-based prepare images for publication -screen and print exhibit work in an eportfolio
43
ICT in enterprise – what students must do identify a business opportunity use models to ask ‘what if’ questions present a business proposal create a corporate identity produce business communications promote a product or service produce an e-business plan

“DiDA is being taught exclusively by specialist ICT teachers and they have the full support of a full-time ICT Technician and an ICT Classroom Support Assistant.” “Some students will complete the full DiDA programme over 2/3 years. For others CiDA or AiDA will become the target and Sept 2005 may see selected pupils transfer to the Level 1 option.” Feedback from our pilot centres “There is no doubt that we are facing a very steep learning curve, but I think it will be worth the effort!” Group 1 – 10 lessons per week > DiDA Group 2 – 4 lessons per week > CiDA Group 3 – 10 lessons per week > AIDA plus other qualifications for work, eg Health & Safety, Food Hygiene Certificate) “Increased confidence and greater satisfaction when compared with GNVQ” Massive staff training required in terms of delivery, assessment and pupil tracking.
