Most students know enough about computers to complete basic daily tasks, such as word processing, browsing the Internet or playing a computer game. However, through this course, you will learn about information and software technology and far more. You will discover why the computer has been called the most complex and versatile device ever built, and you will learn about a digital revolution that is only just beginning.
Terms 1 and 2 : Enterprise systems – designing for user experience
Description: this program of learning addresses the focus area of design for user experiences. The lessons and sequences in this program of learning are designed to allow students to develop the knowledge and skills to design for user experience as a solution to a user’s needs.
During Weeks 1 to 5 of the learning sequence, students will gain an understanding of the evolution of the development and impacts of user interfaces and interactive media, they will explore the functional and non-functional requirements of a variety of media, and will examine real-world problems evaluating social, ethical and legal impacts.
During Weeks 6 to 10 of the learning sequence, students will work to design and author a data dashboard utilising simulated or live data with consideration to privacy and cybersecurity. Students will demonstrate their understanding of presenting data by utilising filters and functions, making predictions, and identifying trends and outliers.
During Weeks 11 to 18 of the learning sequence, students will explore augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR) to understand how they develop immersive experiences. They will learn to effectively plan and oversee projects through an iterative approach. Students will also engage in the design and authoring of an interactive media product, while honing skills in managing, documenting, and explaining work practices during project development.
During Weeks 19 to 20 of the learning sequence, students will gain the skills to critically evaluate their own projects as well as those of their peers. They will develop a deep understanding of project assessment and feedback processes. Additionally, students will explore various career opportunities within the realms of user interface (UI) design and interactive media. This will provide them with insights into potential professional pathways in the field and help them make informed decisions about their future endeavours.
