Information Processes and Technology - Queensland

Queensland

In Queensland, the Information Processing and Technology course is defined in the Queensland Studies Authority Senior Certificate Information Processing and Technology document. The Senior IPT subject has four core topics, which are:

• Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS) worth 30% of the assessment
• Software and System Engineering (SSE) worth 30% of the assessment
• Social and Ethical Issues (SEI) worth 10% of the assessment
• Human Computer Interaction (HCI) worth 10% of the assessment

The SEI and HCI topics, although each allocated 10% of course time, are not treated as separate topics but are instead integrated into the other two topics, IIS and SSE. The remaining 20% of the assessment comes from extension coursework, which comes from the core subjects Information and Intelligent Systems and or Software and System Engineering and is supposed to broaden the scope of learning or the depth of learning in the subject.
