Unit Code: KA2/4/EA/010 ASSESSMENT INFORMATION Specific Requirements for Assessment and delivery of this unit. ASSESSMENT AND DELIVERY INFORMATION Centre devised assessment tasks should be approved by the internal verifier for the course before delivery takes place in order to ensure the assessment is fit for purpose and meets the standards required. Unit Summary In this unit, learners will create, agree and deliver designs for user interfaces for interactive media products. They will also gain an understanding of the standards, legislation and guidelines relating to designing user. Delivery Requirements/Recommendations Assessment tasks will be devised to meet the needs of the learning group and to cover all the criteria. 4
