Summary

Are you unsure if you are using the exam board that is most appropriate for your GCSE Computer Science students?  Are you in the process of choosing an exam board to use?  Would you like to know what the options are? 

This short course will explore what the 3 main exam boards for GCSE Computer Science have to offer – AQA, Edexcel and OCR.  Paul Long has a wealth of knowledge and experience of writing exam papers, writing specifications and leading exam teams.  Paul will take you through the structure of each course, the content that is the same across all exam boards, the differences in content and other considerations that should be made when deciding upon the right exam board.  You will be shown side-by-side comparisons of different aspects of the specifications and an unbiased research-based evaluation of the specifications available. 

You will also receive a copy of Paul’s evaluation document and an interactive spreadsheet that compares learning objectives side-by-side.
