The Web Log unit <\/a>was the first in a series of new National Certificate units being produced by SQA to update our non-advanced portfolio of units. We’re also working on a new unit on social software <\/a>and another new unit on Internet safety.<\/p>\n

The Internet safety unit is called Safe & Legal Use of the Internet<\/em> and will be of interest to a wide range of people, ranging from school pupils to teachers who want to know more about this important aspect of online activity. There is a draft version available <\/a>and I’m looking for feedback (please post a comment on this blog).<\/p>\n

The other new unit is called Social Software<\/em> and deals with the emerging area of group\/community software. There is a unit outline available <\/a>and, again, I’m looking for feedback (via this blog).<\/p>\n

Contact Angela <\/a>for more information about these developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
