Writing your Implementation

 ‘Implementation’ is the ICT-word for ‘making’.

 Use this sheet to help you show evidence of implementation in your coursework
  write-up.

Data collection, data capture and input

        Show print screens of what you have implemented for data collection,
         data capture and input - see the list shown below for examples.
        Type a couple of sentences under each screen shot. You need to describe
         what each screen shot is showing.
        Type a couple more sentences after your descriptions. These need to
         explain why you have created the things and why you used certain
         techniques.


       Examples of screen shot evidence needed for this section…
               o All projects: Word processed data capture forms - surveys,
                 booking forms, etc
               o Database projects…
                      Data entry forms
                      Lookups
               o Presentation projects…
                      Examples of blank templates for each type of slide you are
                       using
                      These should show headings but no further data
                      Make sure you have an example of a table, showing where
                       data can be entered (eg: from a survey)
                      Try and use a range of slide types such as table, chart,
                       organisation chart, etc
Data verification and/or validation

        Show print screens of what you have implemented for
         verification/validation - see the list shown below for examples. You need
         to have at least 2 examples of evidence of your methods of data
         verification and/or validation.
        Type a couple of sentences under each screen shot. You need to describe
         what each screen shot is showing.
        Type a couple more sentences after your descriptions. These need to
         explain why you have created the things and why you used certain
         techniques.


       Examples of screen shot evidence needed for this section…
              o Verification description - Type an explanation of how and why
                data, that has been entered, is compared against the data capture
                form (all projects).
              o Validation settings in database projects - Show screen shots of
                these. Show error messages that have been used.


Data and program structures

      Show print screens of what you have implemented for data and program
       structures - see the list shown below for examples.
      Type a couple of sentences under each screen shot. You need to describe
       what each screen shot is showing.
      Type a couple more sentences after your descriptions. These need to
       explain why you have created the things and why you used certain
       techniques.

       Examples of screen shot evidence needed for this section…

              o Database projects…
                   Tables in ‘design’ and ‘datasheet’ views
                   Primary key fields
                   Relationships (if used)
                   Foreign key fields (if used)

              o Presentation projects…
                    Slides in ‘slide sorter’ view
                    Screen shots of all slides
                      Remember that the slides are all to be used as templates and
                       the data will be entered in the ‘Testing’ section of the
                       project.
Output format


     Show print screens of what you have implemented for output format - see
      the list shown below for examples. You need to have 2 or more examples.
     Type a couple of sentences under each screen shot. You need to describe
      what each screen shot is showing.
     Type a couple more sentences after your descriptions. These need to
      explain why you have created the things and why you used certain
      techniques.
     If you have customised the outputs in any way (eg: created your own
      Master slide or altered the layout of a report, explain how and why you
      changed them).

      Examples of screen shot evidence needed for this section…

             o All projects: Show your logo design in the software you created it
               with.

             o Database projects…
                  Queries in ‘design’ and ‘datasheet’ views. Try and use
                    more than 1 type of query and sort the data. Types of query
                    include AND, OR, NOT, LIKE, BETWEEN, DATE, NOW
                    etc.
                  Reports in ‘design’ and ‘print preview’ views - More than 1
                    layout of report needed.
                  Mail merged documents showing merge fields (if used)

             o Presentation projects…
                   Printout handouts of all slides (3 per page)
                   Hyperlinks
                   Action buttons
                   Animations
                   Slide transition
                   Timing and sound settings
                   Graphs & charts (justify choice)
