We'll be working towards two Standards in this course. You will develop and compile evidence for each as you work through the Design Thinking Process.
AS92005 will be marked in school using your finished outcome and evidence. You will present your work for AS92007 in a three hour exam.
Students are able to develop a digital technologies outcome.
Achievement: Develop a digital technologies outcome
This involves:
describing the purpose, potential users, requirements, and specifications of the outcome
using appropriate tools or techniques of a digital technologies domain to produce an outcome that addresses the requirements and specifications
testing the outcome to ensure basic functionality.
Merit: Refine a digital technologies outcome
This also involves:
following conventions relevant to the tools or techniques of a digital technologies domain
using information from testing to make improvements to the outcome’s fitness for purpose.
Excellence: Enhance a digital technologies outcome
This also involves:
applying tools or techniques optimally in the production of a fit-for-purpose outcome
using information from trialling the outcome with others to improve its fitness for purpose.
Students are able to design a digital technologies outcome.
Achievement: Design a digital technologies outcome
This involves:
describing a need or opportunity, potential user(s), and requirements
generating design ideas for the proposed digital technologies outcome
describing how the selected design addresses the need or opportunity and meets the identified requirements.
Merit: Refine a design for a digital technologies outcome
This also involves:
using feedback to make improvements to the design throughout the design process
explaining how design decisions made during the design process improve the quality of the proposed digital technologies outcome.
Excellence: Evaluate a design for a digital technologies outcome
This also involves:
justifying how decisions made during the design process contribute to the selected design’s fitness for purpose
