Difference between Applied Ict and computing?

[Manobilly]

I need to know the difference between thm.

 

[HubbaBubba]

Just open past papers of each subject and check?

 

[Manobilly]

Well that doesn't help ,almost the same.

Apparently Computing has 3 theory papers and one practical while Applied ICT has two of each theory and practical.
In Computing:
• describe and explain the impact of computing in a range of applications, and show an understanding of
the characteristics of computer systems (hardware, software and communication) which allow effective
solutions to be achieved
• describe and explain the need for and the use of various forms of data organisation and processing to
support the information requirements of a particular application
• describe and explain the systematic development of high quality solutions to problems and the
techniques appropriate for implementing such solutions
• comment critically on the social, legal, ethical and other consequences of the use of computers.
• analyse a problem and identify the parts which are appropriate for a computer-based solution
• select, justify and apply appropriate techniques and principles to develop data structures and algorithms
for the solution of problems
• design, implement and document an effective solution using appropriate hardware, software and
programming languages.

In Applied ICT:
• the functions and uses of the main hardware and software components of ICT systems, including
portable communication systems;
• the ways in which organisations use ICT;
• the impact on society of the use of ICT in the home;
• the stages of the systems life cycle and the methods used within each of these stages;
• ICT and computing terminology
• the ways in which a wide range of organisations use ICT;
• the impact on society of the use of a wide range of online applications;
• the networking of information-processing systems and the use of online services.
select the right software for the task;
• communicate effectively with other ICT users using email and search for appropriate information using
the internet;
• prepare, create, amend and edit documents and interactive presentations;
• create both flat-file and relational database structures, add data, check the data entry, perform searches,
reorganise data by sorting and present calculated values based on the data;
• create graphs and charts;
• integrate data from several sources;
• output data in different forms;

• create and test a data model using a spreadsheet, extract and summarise data in a variety of forms.
• create a mail merged document using a word processor and data handling package;
• create an automated procedure which enables a user to select both the required document and the data
to merge it with;

• output data in different forms.

It seems that you must study a lot more for applied ICT than for Computing, but computing is harder than A. ICT

Umm

Ummm thanks JazakAllah I found that too Applied IcT is more hard.
