Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

  • indicator text - p.31: printed 'B6.1.1.1.3', which printed p.30 already uses for a different indicator ('Identify the left, right mouse button, holding of mouse, performing single, double and triple clicking, dragging object and using the scroll wheel'). This row sits on the SUB-STRAND 2 page, in the standard cell coded B6.1.2.1, between B6.1.2.1.2 and B6.1.2.1.4, and B6.1.2.1.3 is printed nowhere else. Filed as B6.1.2.1.3. NEEDS A HUMAN DECISION
