Communication — IGCSE Information And Communication Technology (0417) questions by topic
Communication questions weigh up digital tools against each other: evaluating smartphones for video calls, discussing web-conferencing against video-conferencing for meetings, explaining netiquette, and explaining what a private cloud is for a company like Tawara Cars. Evaluate and discuss demand balanced judgement with both benefits and drawbacks, while explain wants a reasoned definition rather than a single word.
7 questions from the more recent 2024 to 2025 papers make up this page, worth between 4 and 10 marks. Because evaluate answers are marked on genuine judgement rather than a list of features, submitting your response for instant marking quickly shows whether a discussion has actually reached a conclusion instead of simply describing the tool being evaluated.
