AS ICT Coursework

You should first look at pages 19, 20, 30, 31, 32, 32, 34 & 35 of the specification, which can be found at the CCEA website. Note that you will need to have Acrobat Reader installed on your computer before you can read the specification.

Print out these pages from the specification READ THEM CAREFULLY and keep them for your own reference. They will tell you the marks that are available for each section.

 

Choosing your topic

Your coursework should be based on a real organisation. Your task is not to produce a complete system, but to create an application which will cover only one aspect of that system.

For example: In a video hire shop, where the complete system would contain modules covering rental, stock, members and suppliers tables, you would choose only one of these modules, and complete your project based on this module. An AS project could be completed by choosing only stock from the list of modules above.

The topic should allow some input, processing (searching, calculations, etc) and output.

No-one should choose to implement a system based on a video hire shop.
