Figure 1: The organisation of content for Enterprise Computing 11–12 Syllabus

Image long description: This is a diagram outlining the organisation of content for the Enterprise Computing 11–12 Syllabus. Content is listed in boxes. Interactive media and the user experience, Networking systems and social computing, and Principles of cybersecurity fall under Year 11 on the left. Data science, Data visualisation, Intelligent systems and Enterprise project fall under Year 12 on the right. In the middle is Learning through project work, with lines coming from this box and encircling the content. Surrounding all content of the diagram is a line which is joined at the bottom by a box labelled, Skills. This demonstrates that Skills is being both developed and used in all focus areas.

Year 11 course structure and requirements
