Unit 3 Computer Systems


Computer systems are designed to introduce learners to the basic hardware and software components that make up computer systems and for learners to carry out basic installation and configuration.

Most students will set up a computer system at some stage, which may belong to them or someone else and it may be a desktop, laptop, PDA or games console. To do this, learners need to know about the different elements of a computer system and how hardware works with software and how all the elements communicate to make the system function.

Learners will need to demonstrate that they can connect hardware devices safely and configure different types of software for a defined user. For this unit learners do not need to assemble a base unit but they will be connecting peripheral devices. Individuals have different needs and the ability to configure software to specifically suit those needs is necessary in order for individuals to make the best use of the technology.
