All files are shared with permission from OCR or the original author.  Copyrights remain with OCR or the original author but the right to copy and edit for administrative purposes has been granted.

If you are using Fireworks 8 (or other versions) then Charlie Broomfield (a lecturer in IT & Computing) has kindly produced a guide to show how to create an animated GIF.  Download Fireworks 8 guide. 

Authentication - All Components

The following authentication sheets can be used for all components.  They are MS Word documents so can be edited before printing saving time with centre name and number.  It is compulsory to provide authentication to the moderator.

Candidate Authentication Sheet (MS Word)
This document is a mail merge master.  It is initially linked to the GCSE mark book but as long as the same column headings are used, it can be adapted to use with other data sources.

AS ICT G062 Structured Tasks

The following files are for use with the Structured Tasks.  The Labels and Mail Merge Master can be used to reduce administration.  Simply copy and paste your students and their marks into the Mail Merge Master and merge it into the labels.  Do not change any of the titles of the fields and leave all field titles in row 1.  Alternatively, you can copy the mail merge master into a sheet within your own records and link to existing data - but remember not to change the titles of the fields.  You may need to reset the data source for the labels.  You can also send the spreadsheet to OCR if you find filling in all the marks on the front of the mark scheme an extra burden.

G062 ASP Files for Task 3 - 2010-11 Tasks

Task 3 for the 2010-11 tasks requires a rather complex set of procedures to be carried out.  In order to do 3e (worth 3 marks), a script is required that will display data from a form on a confirmation page and save the results to a file.  A generic script called "saveinfo.asp" is available for students to use.  This should be called from a form by setting the FORM tag in HTML to be <FORM ACTION="saveinfo.asp" METHOD=POST>.  The script will generate a title on the confirmation page from a hidden field which is named "H1Text" and a subtitle/introduction from a hidden field which is named "SubText".  It will then display each field from the form on the confirmation page.  It will also save the data to a file called "tickets.txt" which must be in the same folder and must be write enabled for 'everybody'. 

In order to use an ASP script, IIS needs to be enabled.  A script called "test.asp" can be used to test the IIS and ASP capabilities of a computer or remote location.  There is also a file called "form.html" that shows how a form can be used with saveinfo.asp.  You can download the whole package of files by downloading "saveinfo.zip".
