The Level 2 Information Technology elective builds on Level 1 skills, focusing on algorithm design, data structures, and object-oriented programming (OOP). Students develop problem-solving skills through pseudocode and coding while improving data validation and understanding of data types. They also explore the software development process, including solution design, evaluation, and functional requirements. The course aligns with the Level 9-10 Victorian Curriculum and key concepts from VCE Applied Computing and Algorithmics.
Developing logical thinking by creating algorithms to solve mathematical problems and puzzles.
Writing structured pseudocode and implementing it in a high-level programming language.
Understanding object-oriented programming, such as using classes and objects to simulate real-world scenarios.
Enhancing skills in verifying input accuracy and working with different data types.
Learning the problem-solving methodology, including designing, developing, and evaluating software solutions.
Introduction to algorithms and pseudocode
Implementing algorithms
Data structures
Object-oriented programming
Software solutions with data structures and object-oriented programming
This subject is a pathway to VCE Applied Computing (including Software Development) and Algorithmics. The skills acquired in this elective are applicable to further studies in fields such as computer science, software engineering, data analytics, cybersecurity, and information technology Proficiency in software development and algorithmic thinking can lead to careers in areas like software development, gaming, telecommunications, media, banking, IT, electrical and electronic engineering, computer networking, audiovisual engineering, mechatronics, and education.
