Table of contents

Specific Outcome 1 : Explain the principles of computer input and output design.

  • The explanation identifies the various types of inputs and outputs.
  • The explanation distinguishes between appearance and the underlying structure and processes.
  • The explanation identifies the purpose of user involvement in creating the designs.
  • The explanation compares online computer functions with manual forms and offline data entry.
  • The explanation includes a discussion of input and output that compares graphical input and output functions with text based input and output functions.

Specific Outcome 2 : Design computer input and output functions

  • The design meets the specification for the function.
  •  The design can be implemented in the specified computer environment.
  • The design conforms to an industry recommended format for the function.

Specific Outcome 3 : Create computer input and output functions

  • The creation ensures that the function format corresponds to the design.
  • The creation ensures that the function behaviour corresponds to the design.

NOTIONAL HOURS BREAKDOWN

The candidate undertaking this unit standard is best advised to at least spend one hundred hours of study time on this learning programme.  

Assessments:

The only way to establish whether you are competent and have accomplished the specific outcomes is through continuous assessments

The given exercises can contain one or more of the following:

  • Information for you to read
  • Exercises that require you to have a problem-solving approach to communication
  • Questions for you to answer
  • Case studies with questions that follow

 

How to do the exercise:

  • The facilitator will tell you which exercise you need to complete each day.
  • You need to hand in your answers to the facilitator who will mark it for correctness.
  • If you do not know the answer, you will have to go back to that particular section in you learner guide and go over it again.
  • Ask the facilitator for help, if you do not understand any of the questions asked.
  • Always remember to give reasons for your answers
