Essential information for assessment decisions
Learning aim A
For Distinction standard,
learners will evaluate the purpose and applications of IoT
systems and/or services from at least two sectors. They will demonstrate knowledge and
understanding of the principles and characteristics, both general and technical, of IoT
systems from a range of different sectors and make comparisons between them. The
evaluation will cover benefits and risks of each system and/or service and will make a
supported judgement, showing the relationship to the context. For example, they will
evaluate the relative benefits and risks of using an IoT heart rate monitor
for the patient
and the professional practitioners treating the patient.
Overall, the evidence, such as a report, will be easy to read and understand by a third
party. It will be logically structured, use appropriate technical language throughout and
use a high standard of written
language, i.e. consistent use of correct grammar and
spelling, and consistent reference of information sources.
