What information and communication technologies courses should be taught at a new senior college?
This paper answers the challenge posed in the title. The author was asked to propose what innovative courses in Information Technology should be taught at a new Senior College catering for students in their final two years of schooling (aged 16 and 17). After examining existing curriculum design approaches, the author decided upon a simple approach based on scope, sequence, articulation, and balance to the design of the curriculum. This allowed some initial decisions to be made.A strong vocational stance was adopted and a search was made for courses which would provide good vocational opportunity but that would also articulate well with university and Technical and Further Education courses. The paper concludes with the description of the courses finally chosen and how these will advantage the students.
