IGCSE : Information Technology (0418)
The Information Technology syllabus combines theoretical and practical studies focusing on the ability to use common software applications, including word processors, spreadsheets, databases, interactive presentation software, e-mail, web browsers and website design. Students will develop a greater awareness of how applications are used in the workplace, and consider the impact of new technologies on methods of working and on social, economic, ethical and moral issues. The skills learnt will be useful to them in their work across the curriculum, and will prepare them for future employment. Assessment of the practical tests is hardware and software independent. Any hardware platform, operating system, and applications packages can be used , providing that students have the opportunity to demonstrate the full range of skills in the syllabus. To reflect the importance of communication in the modern work place and leisure time, the syllabus will be renamed to Information and Communication Technology 0417 in 2009.
