Plan an information task. 2. Identify a range of information sources and use them to investigate a chosen information task. 3. Evaluate the selected information. 4. Review search results and suggest possible improvements. See URL for full details. To accompany the unit specification there is a national assessment (NAB) available which has two parts to it. The first part is the practical abilities assessment where the candidate has to successfully undertake the four unit outcomes and gather evidence for their portfolio. The information task can be chosen from a range of scenarios including an open option where the unit qualification could be used in conjunction with another qualification for example the investigative part of a subject national unit qualification (Modern Studies Intermediate 11 or Higher English). To help the candidate record some of their evidence including their thinking and actions there are four log books, one for each outcome.
