Z+CA+IDC+4U+3

Client-needs based assignment.

This assignment is flexible in nature where the student, or student group, finds a "client", which can be a teacher in the school, a parent, or an adult within the community, that requires a technological solution to a problem. The assignment would consist of: identifying a need, planning a solution, designing that solution, testing the solution for pitfalls/problems, documenting how to use the technology/solution, delivery of the solution, and educating the client in how they can use the solution to their advantage. The client must also "sign off" that they have received a working solution to the initial problem. The final component would be that the student, or student group, presents to the other members of the ICD4U class the process they went through in completing the task, along with a demonstration of the technology that they developed, along with the benefits of said technological solution.

Key components of this assignment would be: - interview with the client, during which the students determine the need for that client - draft of a proposal, outlining the information determined during the interview which include: client's need, potential problems/issues to keep in mind, what consitutes the delivery package once the students have created a solution to that need. That proposal is given to the client for approval. - design and creation of a technological solution - writing of supporting/training material - delivery of the solution to the client, including the educating of the use of the solution - presentation of the learning process to classmates
