Relevant Implications
For every assessment in Year 11 and 12 you will need to do a write up of relevant implications.
In Year 13 for 2020 you will need to do one write up of relevant implications.
Often this is a point of failure for around 50% of all students.
Even though this is probably the easiest part of every assessment.
In order to combat this, we are going to spend the first week on it, so that we can copy and paste for assessments throughout the year.
Enjoy :-)

What are Relevant Implications? --- That sounds complicated
Well it is a term that is split into two different words
|
Implication
A translation of Implication in this case is "Possible Effect" What would be a possible effect of the project you worked on? For example, if I made a superhero film using IronMan as the main hero, without consulting Disney... what would happen? If I didn't include subtitles in my film, which group of people would miss out on the experience of watching it? An implication is a possible effect of your project. |
Relevant
"Having significant and demonstrable bearing on the matter at hand."
When something is relevant it means it related and important. For example, If I was creating a spreadsheet it would not be important that I ensured images had the right copyright status. As the spreadsheet had no images. If I was creating a website on information about schools in the Manawatu it may not be relevant to have a section on health and safety. It would be very relevant to have a section on health and safety if the website was on gun ownership however, |
Summary: A relevant implication is a possible effect of a project/assessment that is actually related to your project.
Assessment Relevant Implications
According to the Ministry of Education they are interested in 10 different relevant implications...
Keep in mind that they may not be relevant to the project you are working on. Here they are:

Work Sheets
In order to make assessments easier, we are going to work through the relevant implications now.
Please download the appropriate worksheet for your year level
Please download the appropriate worksheet for your year level
|
Year 11 work sheet
For an achieved grade for all three internals this year you will be asked to describe implications that are relevant to your outcome. For a Merit grade in all three internals you will be asked to address relevant implications. We will only do this while completing an assessment. See the writing style guide for describe and address Worksheet Here |
Year 12/13 worksheet
For the year 12 and year 13 assessments you will be asked to "Explain" implications relevant to your outcome in order to get an achieved grade. For a merit grade you will be asked to address relevant implications. We will only do this while completing an assessment. See the writing style guide for explain and address Worksheet here |
Writing Style Guide
|
Describe - to give a lot of details and paint a verbal picture of the situation or idea
Answers the questions: what? when? where? and who? For Example, Lets say I am describing the relevant implication "Accessibility". "Many people suffer from blindness of one sort or another" -- Who "These people still need to be able to successfully access the internet and it's resources" - when & where "Taking into account accessibility means making slight changes to make your website accessible to a more diverse audience." - What "accessibility is about making technology more accessible to those with disabilities or with lower technology." - Conclusion, who, what, where when. |
Explain - Means to make an idea or situation clear by describing it in more detail or revealing relevant facts
Answer the questions: How? and Why? In addition to describe on the left ""By using appropriate colour schemes we can make a website more visible for people who are colour blind" - how "If pictures have alternative text then when a mouse highlights over them it will read the title of the image out" - how "It is important to make your technology more accessible so that you have a wider audience. This can increase the quality and usage of the technology." - why |
|
Addressing Relevant Implications. --> Only while completing assessments.
In order to address relevant implications you have to provide examples with screenshots e.g. "I ensured that my color palette was appropriate for the color blind. I consulted this website:https://venngage.com/blog/color-blind-friendly-palette/ and looked at color options. I also ensured that everything had bold outlines so that elements were easily distinguishable. Here is how my final image looked: or "I ensured that all my images had alt text so that blind people could get a description if they hovered the mouse over." |

Relevant Implications Information
Social/Cultural Implications
|
SOCIAL - relating to human society
- Is the language you are using appropriate for the target audience? - Is there any content that could be considered offensive for your target audience? - Should your outcome be formal or informal?

CULTURAL - the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group
- How do you ensure your outcome is inclusive? - Could you have something on there that is offensive to a culture? Example: A picture on Freyberg High School website has a picture of a student sitting on a desk. Does this picture leave a negative impression on any culture? |
