AQA past papers
Past papers. Not as useful as the Psionica database AQA shamefully closed
but...
Practice questions
Past paper practice questions for 13.3 (.rtf file - opens in Word/Writer)
suitable for revision/homework etc. etc.
Past paper answers
Answers to the questions above. Password protected .doc file. Sorry but
the password is only available to teachers.
Older Exam Papers
Past papers (pre 2000) not included on the official AQA site from
Colchester VI Form College. These still contain some relevant questions
for this topic. Look for IT04/ICT4 papers. I think this is dead?

Links to general online
resources for 13.3. I'd recommend right clicking links/icons and "Save
Target As..." for anything other than web pages (see key below)
 |

Strategy |
VERY short PowerPoint presentation based on
Ch.40 of the Heathcote A2 textbook.

Article on communications policy in
organisations. Contains some very good info on different types of
information flows within the organisation.

Some nice exercises from Whitby CC. I think
these are based on a newer version of the Heathcote book than I've got?
If someone could check this...

Systems Strategy (part2) |
More from Whitby. I *still* don't know which
textbook it's referring to :(

teach-ict. Mainly for the OCR spec you'll have to sift through the
various items to find stuff relevant to this topic.

Yates of KJS fame. This short doc is a useful resource for an overview
of the topic.

This is a very dull (in all senses of the
word) ppt. However, bits of it are relevant to this topic i.e. what
drives IS policy. Get your teacher to read it if you're easily bored or
just too lazy!

This is a VERY cool online article about
managing knowledge in organisations. It's quite a long read but contains
some good stuff about information flow.

blue (and dull) but well worth a look IMNSHO.
