Delivery A practical approach to delivery is essential for this unit and should enable learners to develop their technical knowledge and skills. Much of the assessment evidence is likely to be produced during this process, and centres should consider what other supporting product evidence can be collected. Assessment Where possible an holistic approach to teaching is suggested throughout this qualification. Although this unit is task based it should be possible to achieve the criteria within one set context, such as such as producing documents, presentations or web pages for a small business, club, or other organisation. Learners who use their IT skills directly in their day-to-day work can prove their competence whilst doing so. Assessment evidence will primarily come in the form of observations and hard copies of documents, although class discussions, peer assessment and other written work may be effective. It is advised that a log of evidence recorded against each assessment criteria is kept by the learners. To achieve a pass grade in this unit, learners will need to meet all of the assessment criteria. Textbooks The textbooks and/or websites that are useful depends on the hardware and software used. The hardware and software manufacturers' user guides and resources will be sufficient for the level of work required in this unit. Third party user guides and generic tutorials are also available for most software packages.
