This A2 level unit is mandatory and is externally assessed by portfolio evidence set by OCR, teacher marked and moderated by OCR.
This unit helps you to improve your own performance and working relationships through the planning, implementation, management and evaluation of an ICT project.

Assessment is intended to allow you to demonstrate the development of your own skills and knowledge in relevant areas of ICT, as well as in your ability to work with others.

You are asked to find the solution to a brief chosen from a list. The briefs are set by OCR and may be completed by you as an individual or as part of a team. Your work is marked by your teacher and externally moderated by OCR.

This unit is assessed through an external assessment that is set at the beginning of each academic year. The mark on that assessment will be your mark for the unit. You will produce:

• a preparatory report into current working practice; [TASK A]
• a project plan in response to the set brief; [Task B]
• a diary or log of work completed; [Task C]
• support materials for use with the project; [Task D]
• a summative report on the project including user feedback. [Task E]   [Task F]  [Task G]

This unit has synoptic assessment which involves you bringing together, and making connections between, the areas of knowledge, skills and understanding covered within other units of the specification.
