Codes of Practice

Remember we talked about the Road Code, and how it is the rules of how to drive well?
A lot of the things we do in the world have rules about how to do them well. These sets of rules can be called Codes of Practice.
While you are working on your project, you need to collect evidence of the Codes of Practice that you have investigated and used. You will collect evidence from two places

1. Research on what the rules are - from the Internet, a text book, interviewing an expert...
2. In your own project, you should show how you followed the rules.

There is a file in iNet that you can use to do this with, called - wait for it! - Code of Practice.
In the top left box, you put the rules in yoru own words, and where you found them.
In the bottom left box, you explain how you have used these rules in your project.
In the top right box you can put a screen shot or other picture of your work.
In the bottom right box, you write about how well you have done this part of your project.

You will need to work on Codes of Practice several times during your project. The one we started tow ork on in class was about writing a survey to collect information. Other possible topics to do Codes of Practice for are

• storyboarding
• copyright
• video editing
• credits
• file management

I suggest that you do at least three relevant Codes of Practice, and show this in your (revised) Gantt chart as happening throughout your project.
