Annotating Designs Help Sheet - Design and Technology KS3 & KS4

i created this help sheet to support my year 10 students with their ‘mini NEA’ but realised that it can work further down the school too. It has lots of different ideas as to what sort of annotations students should be writing about their designs, i have separated them into 2 sections - the non-negotiables and the get higher marks. I have found it has worked really well with getting my lower targeted students into those top brackets. (I have also added hints and tips to support any tricky wording) This has both the original PowerPoint document and a PDF as i like to use specific fonts, which unless you have them downloaded will not work on your computer, so feel free to fiddle with it.

Embedding accessibility & usability:considerations

(0)
This paper makes the case that if e-learning research and development projects are to be successfully adopted in real-world teaching and learning contexts, then they must effectively address accessibility and usability issues; and that these need to be integrated throughout the project. As such, accessibility and usability issues need to be made explicit in project documentation, along with allocation of appropriate resources and time. We argue that accessibility and usability are intrinsically inter-linked.
