Yr 11

Term 1

Topic: Interactive media and the user experience 

This term, students will be exploring interactive media and how user experience (UX) influences the way people engage with digital technologies. They will identify the interactive media they use in everyday life and learn how different types of data, including images, audio, video, text and numbers, are combined to create meaningful information. Students will investigate how interactive media systems have evolved over time, examine accessibility features and assistive technologies, and consider social and ethical issues. They will also explore elements of user interface (UI) design that improve the user experience. Throughout the term, students will use a range of hardware and software tools to plan, design and create their own interactive media projects, such as simple websites, interactive videos, digital images and 3D designs, applying design principles to communicate effectively with their intended audience.
