Learning Outcomes, Assessment Criteria and Indicative Content
Learning Outcomes – The learner will:
Assessment Criteria – The learner can:
Indicative contents
1. Understand the purpose and types of coding.
1.1 Identify popular programming languages that are used within computer systems.
1.2 Differentiate between High level and Low-level programming languages.
1.3 Explain how principles of computer programming are applied in different languages to produce software applications.
The uses and applications of different types of high and low-level programming languages, developed to assist in the solution of particular problems, such as:
procedural, e.g. C, Perl®, PythonTM
object-orientated, e.g. C++, C#®, Java®
event-driven, e.g. Visual Basic®
machine, e.g. Assembler
mark-up, e.g. HTML.
Factors to compare and contrast in programming languages, including:
hardware and software needed for running and developing a program
special devices required
performance
preferred application areas
development time
ease of development.
2. Understand web architecture and components.
2.1 Explain the web architecture and components which enable internet and web functionality
2.2 Discuss the security risks and protection mechanisms involved in website performance.
Web architecture: Internet Service Providers (ISP); web hosting services; domain structure; domain name registrars; worldwide web
Components: hardware eg web, mail and proxy servers; routers; software eg browser, email
Protocols: transport and addressing eg TCP/IP; application layer eg HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP
Web functionality: Web 1.0, Web 2.0; blogs; online applications; cloud computing
Security: risks eg hacking, viruses, identity theft Security protection mechanisms: firewalls;
Secure Socket Layers (SSL); adherence to standards eg strong passwords
3. Be able to create interactive websites.
3.1 Be able to create or modify components of websites to meet business needs.
3.2 Demonstrate that a created website meets the defined requirements and achieves the defined purpose.
Design:
select appropriate software e.g. standard and non-standard
use formatting and editing techniques, e.g.:
common web functions (e.g. text, graphics, fonts, text formatting, colour schemes, images)
simple HTML (e.g. editor programs, file extensions)
HTML tags and conventions (e.g., closing tags)
introduce interactive elements (e.g. rollover images, submit button to email a form)
apply optimisation (e.g. image, video, animation, sound, file, size, format, dimensions, compression)
apply good practice, i.e.:
consistent file and folder management
appropriate naming conventions
documentation of developments
ensure accessibility, i.e.users with disabilities (e.g. accessibility aids, readability, colour scheme, subtitles)
format of presentation
content of presentation
target audience
obtain feedback from audience
appropriateness
clarity
content
speed
navigation
aesthetics
comparison of updated website against business needs
demonstration of functionality
demonstration of interactivity
present the solution to the stakeholders
Plan and present the solution:
Recommend changes to website components:
Comparison of website components against business needs:
Review website components:
feedback, e.g.
questionnaires
verbal discussion
identify criteria for feedback e.g. appropriateness, clarity, content, speeds, navigation, font choice, colour combinations)analysis improvements (e.g. design, clarity, interactive response, function)
