Who gets the survey results?
A school runs a survey. Pupils fill in a form. A teacher collects the forms. An analyst studies the answers. The head of year reads the report.
That is four steps and four groups. A short picture shows who sends what to whom.
Key words
| Word | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Information flow diagram | a picture of what information passes between people or systems | A box, an arrow, a box |
| Source | the box that sends the information | |
| Destination | the box that receives the information | |
| Box | a person, team or system in the diagram | |
| Arrow | the direction the information travels | |
| Label | words on an arrow that name the information |
The cells students fill in are left blank in this preview.

I can say what an information flow diagram is for, read one, and draw or complete one with boxes, arrows and labels.
