Bronze 2 SOW

 

Back to SOW home page

Bronze 2 example SOW - Not mandatory, adjust to meet your own context but ensure learning outcomes can be evidenced through the assessment criteria linked to the activities.

Try to build progressively on Bronze 1 work. This SOW assumes presentation of work will be in web pages. Again this is not mandatory and you can substitute a WP document or a desktop presentation but building skills in using web applications will help later with Web Software and Using Collaborative Technologies units. There is also an EU wide and government policy for e-portfolios and we are starting early here in developing the appropriate skills and knowledge to enable learners to do this.
