Computer Appreciation (Introduction)

Course summary

We study the Application Develop Pathway and so the main thrust of the course is to create your very own Video Game, using a games engine of your choice. You will begin by studying some core IT theory needed for the course, which will cover a basic, but wide range of technical topics. You will sit three examinations covering the legal, moral/ethical and cyber security sides of IT. On the practical side, you go into an in-depth look at how professional and modern software applications are made, to which you then go on to produce a video game of your own for a specific client. This is the ‘vocational’ approach to the study of computing it is very different to ‘Computer Science’. Be sure to select the right course for you!
