This unit enables learners to understand the fundamental concepts and terminology of software development. It is mainly based on the design based learning approach that emphasises different practices that focus on the creative aspect of programming.
The unit develops the learners with the skills required to design simple programming algorithms as well as in writing simple computer programs. Learners will be able to accomplish tasks associated with structured algorithms and procedural techniques such as variables, data types, selection, iteration, conditional and loop constructs using a visual drag and drop programming language.
