//Issues that Model B resolves///raises: //i. Model B is less complex than Model A with less risk of some mandated content areas dropping off over time; ii. As teams change, content would remain attached to the NSWIT requirements as clearly specified; iii. ICT would not be integrated in terms of load; iv. Load for teams remains roughly as is the situation now; v. Teams to develop in 2008 and deliver in 2009; mode of delivery; which semester offered; whether split into 2 (different Primary and Secondary award versions) or more versions also need to be discussed.//
