IPT Major project information
yeah at our school it was worth 30%
Project work in the HSC course is intended to give students an opportunity to plan, design
and implement an information system that has a purpose. The chosen information system
should be either:
• a database information system
• a communication system
• a transaction processing system
• a decision support system
• an automated manufacturing system, or
• a multimedia system.
The construction of the information system will follow the stages detailed in the Preliminary
topic Planning, Design and Implementation. However, the content has been expended
beyond the traditional method to include prototyping and participant developed solutions.
One large project or a number of smaller projects may be undertaken in the course. If
smaller projects are undertaken, they need to occur over a significant amount of time and
involve sustained work. Project(s) should allow students to see the information system in its
full context. Students should identify the purpose for the information system, the
participants, data/information and information technology that work with the information
processes. An indicative 20% course time has been set aside for project(s) in the HSC
course. Project(s) may be undertaken by groups of students or individuals and can be
commenced at anytime during the HSC course.
