Level+6+and+Level+7

=MAKING SURE THAT YOU HIT YOUR TARGET GRADE=

===This is an additional task that combines several skills to make sure that you hit your target grade if you are aiming for level 6 and above. Your project and final NC level will be evaluated on all parts of the system, and on the outcomes of this system and previous work.===

HOMEWORK
===You have not had much homework recently. You will need to make sure that you reach your targets in the lesson, or you will need to spend time catching up outside the lesson time. ** This task is likely to require some homework ** - for example: research about questions, paper based design, test plan, documentation and evaluation.===

TARGETS AND TIME MANAGEMENT
===It is your responsibility to set yourself SMART targets every lesson to make sure that you reach your goal. To help you to achieve this there is an eMindMap in the student shared area. You must set your own targets, but you can ask for help to make sure that they are [|SMART]===

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has had so much interest from London schools about the Olympics and Paralympics that he would like a quiz to be available to all schools.
===The quiz must have between 10 and 15 questions about the Olympics and/or the Paralympics. It must be possible to enter an answer, and get immediate feedback. The number of correctly answered questions must be visible, as well as the number of incorrectly answered questions, and the number of questions still to be answered. This information must be visible both as text/numbers and a graphic. The Mayor would also like there to be a clear message shown when someone gains 100%, all questions correctly answered. Ideally, you should use your house style, with logo, but if possible correct answers should be shown with a green background, incorrect answers with a red background, and there should be a blue background for any questions not yet answered. There should be a button to reset the quiz, as well as one to print the student's results. If possible make sure that anyone using the quiz can only enter their own answers, and not change any of the results, or any other information.===

Supply a bibliography of your sources, giving:

 * ===URL===
 * ===date of access of information===
 * ===what information you have gathered===
 * ===trustworthiness of the source (how do you know that it is trustworthy? eg: official web-site; .co.uk or .com or .gov etc.; supported by other web-sites)===

Internet Research (all levels)

 * ===Show evidence of advanced Internet searches. Using Advanced Search in Google, or Boolean operators (AND, OR and NOT), or wildcard searches using *.===
 * ===Show evidence of bookmarking websites to save them.===

Planning

 * ===Who is your target audience? What is the purpose of this task? How can you make this match the audience and purpose?===
 * ===What data needs to go into the system?===
 * ===How can you research the data?===
 * ===What data needs to come out of the system?===
 * ===What must the user interface look like? This should include fonts, colours, layout, etc.===
 * ===What calculations are needed?===
 * ===what information do you need? You may need to find out more about the software that you need to use - discuss what you want the system and the user interface to do with your teacher. Then design it with the features in it - your teacher will help you if you need software specific knowledge.===
 * ===How are you planning to distribute this quiz? What options are available?===

Design

 * ===design the user interface - this document may help you.===


 * ===Does your design contain all the information for someone else to produce this system without any further input from you? ===
 * ===How will you know whether your design for a layout is suitable for the audience?===
 * ===Produce a test plan for your system===

Implement

 * ===Produce your quiz and user interface based on your design===
 * ===If you find that you need to modify your system you should annotate your design, giving reasons why you have modified it===
 * ===You will be able to discuss how you have used feedback to change and modify your system===

Testing

 * ===Test your system using the test plan produced in the design phase.===
 * ===Correct any errors===

Documentation

 * ===Write a document explaining to first time users how to use this system===

Evaluate

 * ===Working with a 'buddy' evaluate your system using the criteria given HERE===

Supply a bibliography of your sources, including all of level 6 criteria, but additionally:

 * ===date of information (if possible) - this may just be a year, for example: © 2012. Some sites, like Wikipedia, will give most recent updates to the second.===

Internet Research (level 7 and above)

 * ===Show evidence of organising bookmarks into folders===
 * ===Be able to explain why it is important to acknowledge all sources===

Planning and Implementation

 * ===A level 7 plan needs to solve the problem of what happens when people spell their answer incorrectly. This is likely to mean a multiple choice user interface. You may need to discuss how to solve this problem with your teacher. It will mean that you need to design your test plan to take account of this.===
 * ===You should make sure that it is not possible to alter any of the data/ formulas/ etc in your system. Users should be able to select an answer, but not change any other part of the system.===
 * ===You need to plan and implement a system that can easily be distributed to schools around the country - ease of use is important for higher levels===

Testing

 * ===Your test will need to check that your system is password protected===
 * ===You need to design your test plan to take account of a multiple choice user interface===

Documentation

 * === Add on-screen documentation to your system so that it users can easily see what is required to use this system ===

Evaluation

 * ===Working with a 'buddy' evaluate your system using the criteria given HERE===

**Level 8 criteria**
===Most of the difference between Level 7 and Level 8 is in the quality of the final system. Your final grade will be based on the efficiency and ease of use of the system; your use of evaluation and feedback throughout the development to refine and improve the system; automation of the data flow through the system; and your ability to discuss the impact of features of the system. Additionally your teacher will take account of previous work, as well as your contribution to discussion of social, economic, ethical and moral issues (eg the Forum).===

Internet Research (level 8)

 * ===Show evidence of organising bookmarks into folders and subfolders===

Evaluation
===Working with a 'buddy' evaluate your system using the criteria given HERE (this is the same evaluation as level 7 - it is the final outcome that governs your NC level).===
