Case Study 2:
Using ICT to Find and Structure Information

Before You Start…
Welcome to the Swansea Bay Online Learning Partnership case study series for teachers of IT. 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 package to be comfortable with before you start the case study is:

  • A hypertext authoring program - an HTML-based program such as Front Page Express or Netscape Composer, or a multimedia package such as Hyperstudio or Multimedia Textease. You should be able to design pages/screens, enter text, create graphics, import images and set up links to other pages/screens from text items, icons or graphics.

If you do not feel comfortable with any of the above, discuss with your mentor the best way of getting your skills ready before you start. If you are missing just one or two of the skills, and you are happy to develop them while you are working on the case study, go ahead with the next part.
