Author/s: Victoria Wright, Denise Taylor, David Waller
Format: Print & online bundle
Support teachers and learners through the Cambridge IGCSE™ Information & Communication Technology syllabuses (0983/0417).
This coursebook with digital access strengthens practical skills and allows learners to apply theory to real-life scenarios, building core skills they will use in all areas of life.
A three-tiered approach to practical tasks throughout our coursebook develops fundamental skills with ‘Getting started’ and ‘Practice’ tasks, and stretches more confident students with ‘Challenge’ tasks.
Students are given a taste of the industry through ‘ICT in context’, adding relevancy to students’ learning. As well as this, learners develop autonomous learning skills through the ‘Reflection’ feature, encouraging students to assess and evaluate their learning journey.
Answers are accessible to teachers for free on the Cambridge GO platform.
