GoConqr OriginalUsing types of software notes
These notes offer different ways into the unit. GCSE ICT - Software and Operating Systems covers operating systems and application software, making it a useful place to start if you want an overview. Types of Software includes off-the-shelf software and its advantages.
For a closer look at system software, Systems Software includes a flowchart, operating systems and utility programs. The notes on the advantages and disadvantages of different software also discuss proprietary software.
Make the notes work for you
Read a short section, then write down how you would describe the software type in your own words. Compare your description with the note and return to any terms you missed. Teachers can select a note to support a lesson on the same topics.
When you want to recall terms without reading the explanations, switch to flashcards on the unit page. For a check after reading, try a quiz there. Choose a note and use it to review a software category.
