What are all the Website conventions, or conventions in general? also what are conventions?
Conventions are the 'norm'. It is conventional to say thank you (I think that's a convention).
It's stuff like two decimal places for currency ($5.00).
For a web page, I'll use ATARNotes as an example.
If we posted a lot, and the page gets too long, it is then split into a new page (1,2,3,4,5 etc.). This is a convention.
It is a convention to provide a consistent look, e.g. the logo up the top.
It is a convention to put copyright stuff at the bottom of the page.
It is a convention to put a navigation bar at the top of each page.
And what are all the design elements? I know i few of each, but i always get mixed up.
Off the top of my head, design elements:
Proportion (visual hierarchy) - e.g. some objects are bigger than others to add emphasis
Orientation (direction/ aspect)
Clarity and Consistency
Colour and Contrast.
These design elements influence functionality, such as structure, load times, relevance, usability, accessibility etc.
If your school teaches visual communications, the viscomm teacher might have some worksheets/theory stuff on design elements. It might be worth trying to get a hold of one of those.
Also, when asked about a disaster recover backup plan, what would we need to include?
Well a disaster recovery plan is composed of the four:
1. Emergency plan (e.g. evacuation maps and all that)
---On an exam, you'd probably be talking about keeping the names pf important contacts safe, keeping equipment supplier details etc.
2. Backup plan
-- I go by:
Media: backup onto what?
Schedule: how regularly, what type of backups and when etc.
Location: store it on-site, store it off-site, where?
Personnel: People have to be responsible for ensuring it is done etc. - refer to the name of the guy in the scenario
3. Recovery plan (restoring the backup)
4. Test plan (testing the disaster plan)
There's also the general threat protection, e.g. install antivrius blah blah blah (the stuff you did in U4O2 sacs basically).
I can't immediately recall having to include
all that stuff into a single question though. The questions seem to focus on just a backup or just the test plan etc.
When choosing to do databases or spreadsheets, what's a list of benefits of using a spreadsheet?
Stuff like easy visualisation of data, easy calculations, 'what-if analysis', macros, validation etc.
There's a bit more to it that I can't remember atm, just check what the suggested solutions give.
And finally, do you think we'd need to know how to label the new problem solving methodology since it's changed?
Yes. Memorise it. I use the mnemonic ADDE (analysis, design, development, evaluation). For the old study design, it was ADD T DIE (analysis, design, development, testing, documentation, implementation, evaluation) - it's a bit more descriptive, useful to remember some of the sub-categories of the thing.
I'm betting there will be a multiple choice question on it, so you
may be able to use the multiple choice section as kind of a refresher for it (in the case that we do get a question that says label the PSM).
