Software Design and Development: Learners will further their understanding of how computational constructs, data types and structures are used to create computer software, ‘apps’ and web-based solutions.  Students will develop their computational thinking skills by analysing and creating algorithms and testing software solutions. 

Information System Design and Development: The aim of this unit is to allow learners to develop knowledge and problems solving skills related to information-based systems.  Learners will apply their computational thinking skills to create practical solutions such as advanced web design, animation, multimedia authoring and databases.  Students will develop an understanding of the complexities of technologies impact on society, ethics, moral and legal issues. 

Successful students can progress to Higher in S5/6.
