Each unit has its own SPB.  \nThe SPB will present students with a scenario, requiring them to produce website, multimedia, artwork/images or a game that meets the requirements outlined in the brief. Students will draw on knowledge, skills and understanding from across the relevant unit, integrating them into a synoptic piece of work.  \nThe SPBs are made available only on the CiDA qualification section of the Edexcel website [at www.edexcel.com](at www.edexcel.com).  \nFor each unit an SPB will be are released in September each year. They are live and useable for two years.  \nControls for task taking  \nThe Summative Projects are subject to controls that define the conditions under which they are taken.  \nSupervision and authentication of student work  \nUnless specifically stated, students are able to work on the SPB only in a lesson, under the supervision of a teacher. This means that there must be adequate supervision to ensure that work can be authenticated.  \nThe Teacher Support Notes will also specify any work that may be completed without supervision outside of the classroom, for example background research and asset gathering. All other work, including any manipulation or development of this material must be done under supervision in the classroom. Any material brought back into the classroom must be checked by the teacher to ensure that it can be authenticated as the student’s own work. At the end of the lesson, all of the student’s materials, paper-based and electronic, must be collected in, stored securely and handed back at the beginning of the next session.  \nThe role of the test buddy  \nEach student will work with a test buddy to give and receive feedback on their product designs, prototype products and final product. Students must be made aware of what is expected of a test buddy: they can comment on the‘what’ (what they think is good and what they think could be improved), but they could not feedback on the‘how’ (eg how to make changes or specific solutions to any problems) .  \nFeedback and collaboration at each stage of the project  \nThe controlled assessment task for each unit can be divided into three broad stages. The level of feedback and collaboration allowed varies between stages, as outlined below.  \nProposal / Game overview  \nStudents must work individually to come up with their own proposal/game overview.  \nThe teacher may provide feedback on the planned approach, such as highlighting strengths, weaknesses and possible problems with the planned product(s) and approach, but teachers must not suggest, or direct students towards, specific solutions.  \nStudents may receive feedback on the proposal/game overview from their test buddy (see Role of the Test Buddy above) and use this to modify their proposal/game overview before seeking approval from the teacher.  \nDesign, building and development  \nStudents must work individually to design, build and develop their products.  \nThe teacher may provide feedback at the beginning of this stage on students’ designs, such as highlighting strengths, weaknesses and problems with the planned designs, but teachers must not suggest, or direct students towards, specific solutions.  \nThe teacher must not provide feedback on their final products, but can suggest general questions for students to consider (which will be useful in the Review), eg‘how do you think x looks?’, ‘how do you think x could be improved?’  \nStudents may receive feedback from their test buddy (see Role of the Test Buddy above) on the designs and building and incorporate this into their final products.  \nReview  \nStud","cbCaim3juWpsmJNc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim3juWpsmJNc","pdf",300125,"English","# Assessment information for internally assessed units\n## Controls for task setting\n## Controls for task taking\n## Supervision and authentication of student work\n## The role of the test buddy\n## Feedback and collaboration at each stage of the project\n### Proposal / Game overview\n### Design, building and development\n### Review\n## Resources\n## Time\n## Authentication\n## Submission of work to the teacher","[{\"question\":\"What is assessed in each unit under the Summative Project Brief (SPB)?\",\"answer\":\"Units 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are solely assessed via an SPB.
