Information Technology
The introduction of the FET has seen a number of new challenges in terms of content and assessment
techniques and strategies. With this webpage we want to offer support to teachers who use our books:
Enjoy Delphi and/or Computers, part of your life (IT).
Computers, part of your life Part 1, 2 and 3, IT Textbooks
We are revising the IT Theory textbooks this year. I will let you know later in the year for
which ones there will be Revised Editions for 2011.
In the mean time, you can use these updates with your books:
- Updates 2009/2010 for Grade 10 (Eng /
Afr)
- Updates 2009/2010 for Grade 11 (Eng /
Afr)
- Updates 2009/2010 for Grade 12 (Eng /
Afr)
IT Workshop 23 January 2010 Pretoria
Thanks to everyone who attended. Was great to have you there.
To those of you who were not there: The Delphi books are being rewritten not finished yet
will use the mailing list to keep you informed.
Please note
- The Study Opportunities team do not convey any official DoE or examination panel decisions during this workshop.
- We are a team of concerned teachers & writers who want to enable teachers to teach the subject and keep on
enjoying it!
- We only offer possible solutions and suggestions and a platform to cooperate with other teachers.
- All information should be checked against the official examination guidelines (if supplied), exemplar papers,
as well as existing policy and guideline documents.

Tests and examinations / Toetse en eksamens
By definition, the exam papers are examples, which can be adapted to suit the
specific learning environment of your classes. This sharing of ideas is paramount
to smoothing the way forward and getting to grips with the new standards
associated with the FET.
IT Grade 11
Gr 11 IT textbook
The activities of Module 3.5 Development of Programs and Systems of the
Gr 11 IT book (Computers, part of your life Part 2, A textbook for Information
Technology) refer to certain files.
You can download them here.
In the gr. 12 PAT learners are required to hand in an analysis and design
document, a technical manual and a user guide as well as their program and a
printout of the code of the program.
As learners are mainly not used to handing in these type of documents, many
learners feel that they do not know what these documents should include.
Although the learners are not required to make these documents nearly as
complete as the documents prepared for this module, these documents can give
them a very useful guideline to make their documentation for the PAT. The
depth of the documentation required for the PAT is described in the learners
guidelines for each phase and can also be seen in the assessment tools, but
using the basic idea of these design documents can make it a lot easier for
the learners to understand what is expected of them.

Solution for Enjoy Delphi, Part 2, Page 197, No 1
The solution to Test Improve Apply 1 on page 197 of the book Enjoy
Delphi part 2 was developed as one program containing all the queries,
calculations and reports specified in nrs 1.1 1.15. It is possible
to let learners do each of these programs in a separate application
this will simplify the code considerably. Because the solution has been
coded as one program, but entails manipulation of two different tables
in the program, the TableName property of the ADOTable component had to
be changed dynamically in the program.
The program also contains a number of techniques to make it more
user-friendly and robust. These techniques have been explained in the code
through comments.
Naming conventions used in the program are sometimes different from
those used in the book. For example the ADOTable component is named adoX,
instead of tblEmployees. A field in the table is also addressed as for
example adoX.FieldByName('TITLE').AsString instead of adoX[TITLE].

Study Opportunities Gr 12 Prelim Papers 2008
Study Opportunities has drawn up Grade 12 papers (Paper 1 and 2) and memoranda
for the Prelim exams. The papers are set, checked and translated by a team of
experienced teachers currently teaching the subject. It will be suitable for
Delphi and Java users.
If you are planning to purchase these papers, the proof of payment must be
faxed TOGETHER with your completed form (remember school stamp).
