Hi – I have student who really wants to create a game for his project including the use of Pygame. Following the feedback from SQA I think that they weren’t that keen – unless there was a clear demarcation between the candidate’s original code and Pygame. Is any one else encountering this and what have you advised?

Hi – happy to send you the Ethical Hacking and Digital Forensics now – Data Security is just going through the college quality processes. might be easier as an email?

I gave up faffing with the formative assessment on Solar in Highland and have created an alternative which has gone through the WHC internal prior verification of material procedure (we are an assessment centre). I used a Google Form and have multiple choice questionnaires (2 papers) for Level 5, am currently working on level 6. Happy to share.

I do remote delivery and have two home schooled students this year. I wondered if anyone has experience of how best they could complete Outcome 3 for the Data Security Level 5. Last year I asked students to write a report about their schools in term of policies, security etc – but this doesn’t seem quite appropriate for a home environment. Any…Read More

Feel your pain – at the moment I am doing remote delivery to students in three different schools and the advice in the material that one usb could be “passed between students” isn’t going to work! Also I haven’t yet come up with a scenario….may need to engage the criminal part of my mind a bit more, though there is a suggestion in the ASP H9JO 45.

Unfortunately in Highland – where we have Chromebooks already – the delivery is virtual and my actual presence in the classrooms to find the old laptops and re-purpose them not possible. If the Microsoft offer needs someone to support it please let me know…

A student is creating a simulation using Unreal Engine (which is based on C++ so seems to meet the criteria for using OO programming?) . If this project meets the requirements (advice please?) what is going to be the best way for her to present it for evaluation (more advice please??) given the likely file size and need for controllers.

I am doing a virtual delivery to pupils in the West Highlands across several different schools. Having just tried to work with the instructions in the Ethical Hacking Practical booklet and my daughter’s Chromebook I am not feeling confident about getting all level 5 students up and running and I have no direct links with the schools to know what…Read More

My students are wondering about their project for the coming year and I would love to hear of any great examples from last year (ie this weird year). I had one student with an over spec’d Parents’ evening booking system and another with an under-spec’d science quiz: what’s the middle ground?

Project Exemplars?
Wondering if anyone can point me to examples of how a completed project might look – not withstanding that there have been some changes… many thanks

I’ve not delivered this course before so have nothing to compare it to. One of my students is developing software to manage parents’ evenings so that everyone gets an appointment: SDD and DBD. The other was struggling for ideas so I used the notes in Appendix 15 to AHC to suggest projects on the basis that those were the kind of things they were…Read More
