Cambridge ICT Certificate – MultiMedia

MULTIMEDIA FOR A PURPOSE

This module builds on previous knowledge students should have of using multimedia authoring software. The aim is to create an automated presentation for a target audience, incorporating transitions and simple animations.

While working on this module, learners are encouraged to find or create appropriate resources and to consider the appropriate use of transitions and timings. They should consider how well the presentation fits its purpose and the needs of the target audience.

CERTIFICATION

At the end of each module, students will be assessed by way of a test to show that they can demonstrate each of the learning objectives with no additional help from their teacher or their peers.

• Cambridge provides question papers and resource files for Cambridge ICT Starters.

At the end of each assessment test, the teacher marks the question papers and completes a record of assessment (Learning Objectives Record Sheet) for each learner. Samples of learners’ work are sent to Cambridge for external moderation. The sample will include the question papers completed by the learners, the required evidence of learners’ work and the Learning Objectives Record Sheet.

Learners will receive a Pass or Merit grade in each assessment test. A learner’s overall grade will be a combination of the results of all modules.

To achieve a Pass in a module, learners must meet all the Pass criteria specified on the Learning Objectives Record Sheet. To achieve a Merit in a module, learners must achieve all the Pass and Merit criteria within that module.

Cambridge will award a Merit grade for each level of Cambridge ICT Starters where the learner has achieved Merit grades in the majority of modules taken at each stage or level.
