Description
View Version Improvements
This Toolbox has been structured for the delivery of the complete qualification for Certificate IV in Information Technology (Systems Analysis and Design).
The dominant pathway provided for students using this Toolbox is to work in a team through a series of seven phases. These phases mirror the process that would be followed by a Systems Analysis and Design (SAD) team working within a medium size organisation in need of a new information technology (IT) system.
The Toolbox assumes that the students who will be using it already have the competencies identified for Certificate III in Information Technology (General) or Certificate III in Information Technology (Software Applications) or equivalent skills.

Teacher's Guide
Download the Teacher's Guide for Systems Analysis and Design (Word - 2.7 MB).
The aim of the Teaching Guide is to provide supporting documentation for a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to empower learners to develop competency in the subject area of systems analysis and design in an interesting and enjoyable way.
The Toolbox Teaching Guide is designed to assist teachers or supervisors in five ways:
- The Teaching Guide provides guidelines for setting up the RTO's web site.
- The Teaching Guide provides an overview of the educational approach to learning that has shaped this Toolbox and the structure that has resulted from this approach.
- The Teaching Guide provides guidelines for the use of the Toolbox for students who want to develop the skills delivered by the Certificate IV in Information Technology (Systems Analysis and Design). This qualification is part of the ICA 99 Information Technology Training Package (see Appendix A). These guidelines can be applied either by RTOs whose business is higher education or by RTOs who are offering this qualification through their workplace.
- The Teaching Guide provides examples of assessment items that are additional to the activities in the Toolbox.
- The Teaching Guide provides guidelines for adding, changing or deleting content within the Toolbox, creating new quizzes or changing The Marketplace scenario.
