Once again the government spend millions on an ICT project, thousands of people devote countless hours to running the project, staff in schools project manage the situation and.... the government decides to drop the project!

You will need to use software to help design your ICT system. Software is an important part of any ICT system and you will need to describe the software you will use. It is also important to describe, compare and contrast other software that could have been used to do the job as well. The audio notes talk you through what you need to know. Templates that you can fill-in to help with the task can be found at www.conxxion.com. If you have any ideas or suggestions for improvements, or just want to send a comment, please send me an email or leave a comment. via this web site/ www.conxxion.com
