    LIFTING THE LID: HOW COMPUTERS WORK

    Most computer users are familiar with terms such as chips, hard drives, RAM, but what is a chip and what does it actually do? What does a hard drive look like and how does it work? Although the details of what lies under our computer cases is changing rapidly, the underlying design remains relatively stable. Aided by illustrative graphics, this program looks at the functions of the main components of a PC. It also covers a brief history of the development of the PC's main, or mother board over the past 15 years.

    SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE: A CASE STUDY OF GROUP WISDOM

    At the beginning of 2002, Glen Waverley Secondary College launched its new virtual classroom system called "Group Wisdom". The system was designed to help teachers better organise their class work and communicate with their students.

    Through the eyes of Ylana, a student at the school, this program explores what the system does and how it was developed. The five stages of the system development lifecycle are clearly explained with the aid of diagrams and metaphors. Other concepts introduced include:
  • IPO charts
  • Data Flow Diagrams
  • Decision trees
  • System specifications
  • "Scope creep"

    The theory of data systems comes to life in this program in a context that students will readily identify with. As Ylana herself says, "it's not just about computers and data, it's also about people."

    GRRLS IN I.T.

    Information Technology is the world's fastest growing industry, responsible for decisions and innovations that affect our daily lives as much as government policy - but not enough women are interested in I.T. as a career. This program aims to dispel a range of preconceptions many young women have about joining the industry: Working in front of a screen all day, too 'geekie', technical and dull, needing a high level maths and science background, and not enough variety and social interaction. We hear first hand from young women in the industry about their experiences and the variety of lucrative opportunities available.
