Once you have completed each section of your report save it as a PDF file.

At this point your project should be complete! It is now time to proof your product and have your client evaluate it (Criterion F). You must have written documentation that the client reviewed the product and their response.

How to Package your Documentation and Product - what to submit and how to package it.

You are finished with your IA when you turn in a zipped file containing the folder with:
____________ Cover Page that links to each criterion and project (tested on different machines)
____________ Documentation folder with your report Criterion A-G
____________ Project folder that contains your entire project
____________ Screencast of your project

Save the file as YourLastName_ITGS_IA and submit to the ITGS submissions folder.

Use Screencastify or Screencast O Matic to record the screencast of your product (not the report, this is a visual tour of your product)
If you made a video as your product then your screencast will be of the software you used and how you performed your editing tasks with this software.

You must also include a screencast of your product.

Continue working on Criterion F - you may want to create a questionnaire for your client based on the initial specs of your project and have them complete it as part of their evaluation of the product. The evaluation of the completed product should refer directly to the specific performance criteria that form part of the requirements specifications in criterion B, as well as any other appropriate feedback obtained from the client at handover.

3. Question  - How can a screencast be made for a video?

Answer

There are two separate components here: a product and a screencast for the product. In the case you are describing, you have  two separate kinds of files: 

·         product: video made with Adobe Premiere, iMovie or similar application and a

·         screencast: online video capture using Jing, Camtasia, Quicktime Recorder or other screencasting software.

ALL projects require a screencast that

  • demonstrates the product functioning and
  • highlights the complex techniques that have been identified at the start of criterion E.

The screencast does not need to be edited and is not counted as an advanced technique. (reformated from the original statement in the Guidance on the appropriateness and complexity of an IT solution for the Project on page 1)

If the student has created a video, he will need to demonstrate that the video is functional and the complex techniques that he incorporated into the making of the video. For example, music may have been created in programs such as Garageband, some of the photos used in the video may have been edited in Photoshop, the sound in the video may use "ducking" whenever there is audio. The techniques justified in criteria E need to be shown in the screencast.

The project, report and screencast are Due Friday!

 

 

What

ITGS Internal Assesment - ITGS Project
Page 56-70
The requirement of the project is to develop an original IT solution to a real problem for a specified client.
Students should undertake a challenging task using advanced techniques published annually on the OCC to
demonstrate their practical IT and project management skills.

 

Why

To experience first hand the process of product development from design through completion.

 

How

By continued research, learning and application of skills to produce a finished product and documentation.
