NZ CURRICULUM

Digital Technologies Progress Outcomes

Within authentic contexts and taking account of end-users, you determine and compare the “cost” (computational complexity) of two iterative algorithms for the same problem size. You understand the concept of compression coding for different media types, its typical uses, and how it enables widely used technologies to function.

You use an iterative process to design, develop, document, and test basic computer programs. You apply design principles and usability heuristics to your designs and evaluate user interfaces in terms of them.

Through usability heuristics, students draw on interactive design principles that guarantee usability and provide a simple, quick testing regime.


In authentic contexts, you investigate and consider possible solutions for a given context or issue. With support, you use an iterative process to design, develop, store, and test digital outcomes, identifying and evaluating relevant social, ethical, and end-user considerations. You use information from testing and apply appropriate tools, techniques, procedures, and protocols to improve the quality of the outcomes and to ensure they are fit for purpose and meet end-user requirements.
