Case Study
3:
Using ICT to Model Relationships and Control
Events
Before
You Start…
Welcome to the Swansea Bay Online Learning Partnership case study
series for teachers of Business Studies. Before you start work
on this case study, you will need to ensure that you have confidence
in using the skills and ICT packages the case study uses.
The
most important packages to be comfortable with before you start
the case study are:
- A
word processor, ideally Word version 6 or higher - you should
be able to create, save and print simple documents with Word.
- The
Internet - you should be able to get onto the Internet,
use one or more of the common search engines, and understand
how Internet addresses are formed.
- A
file management system, ideally Windows 98, 2000 or NT -
this is completely optional, but later in the case study you
will be given the opportunity to download a copy of the Bized
Virtual Factory. In order to do this you must understand how
to move files around in your system so that they all still stay
linked together. If this is a problem, you should refer to your
school's ICT co-ordinator and technical staff - you should always
refer to them in cases of copying files to your school's network.
If
you do not feel comfortable with any of the above, please refer
to your skills-check and discuss with your mentor the best way
of getting your skills ready before you start. If you are missing
just one of the skills, and you are happy to develop it while
you are working on the case study, go ahead with the next part.
