Refer to the school’s approved work program
How does the school’s assessment program differ from syllabus requirements?
Verification requirements
A minimum of four instruments and a maximum of six instruments demonstrating a range of techniques including: one extended response

Variations
development cycle or a combination of the two cycles
Assessment categoriesExtended response assessmentDimensions assessed: Knowledge and application Analysis and synthesis Evaluation and
communication.
Instruments must allow students to develop a response or series of responses requiring the analysis, synthesis and evaluation of data and information. Research is not the focus of this technique.Types and conditions: written, 800-1200 words spoken, 4-5 minutes and
supporting documentation multimodal 5-7 minutes and
supporting documentationSyllabus, pp. 32–34
2.
Product assessmentDimensions assessed: Knowledge and application Analysis and synthesis Evaluation and
communication.
Instruments must allow students to develop a product based on the application of skills, theory and conceptual understandings.Types and conditions: major project
- at least six weeks duration- must contribute to
assessment of human–computer interaction
- should demonstrate all stages of the software

Summary Where the school’s assessment plan differs from the minimum syllabus requirements, consider:
are these choices the most effective way to gather information about student learning?
what is the rationale behind these school decisions?
what changes could be made to the school’s work program?
