Today i began looking up and researching for individual project assessment task 2.
This individual project is about designing a prototype of a teachers markbook.
1. Research and document some of the system design stages as appropriate for the projectHere are some of the research i found on the characteristics of a teachers markbook that i will need to include in my own prototype of a teachers markbook:- needs to have the names of students or ID numbers
- contain marks of the students for each assessment task that they complete
- needs to contain a series of easy caluclations (common statsitical functions such as average, max, min, sum )
- needs to be able to be printed in a number of ways
- provide a number of ways data can be seen (graphs)
Traditional System Development Approach
Understanding the problem: The aim is to design a prototype for a teachers markbook which enables teachers to access students marks. Once accessed the students total marks, maximum and minimum should all be shown. For a class - the highest mark, the lowest mark and the average score in assessment tasks should also be shown. This allows the use of markbook to create a teachres job to become easier. All it requires is simple access to the markbook and everything should be shown.
Planning: In the planning process, i plan what type of columns I will use and what should be placed in the markbook. The things i plan to place in the markbook are:
- students names of a class
- a number of assessment tasks which include each students marks
- contain a number of calculations for each assessment task. (average, max and min)
- contain a number of calculations for each student (total, grade)
This lesson I also began with my Gantt chart. This will be done and posted up next lesson.
TALK @ 10:34 AM
