Digital Technology Level 2
L2DIG Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge:
Recommended Prior LearningIn most cases students who have not completed a satisfactory Level 1 Digital Technology course will not be approved for the Level 2 Achievement Standards course.
As a minimum students need to have gained and achieved in AS91843 (Develop a computer program) and AS91884 (use basic iterative processes to develop a digital outcome).
This year students will be creating a Digital Outcome of their choosing to fulfil a Need or Opportunity. Students will be required to conduct an Inquiry for a Proposal and apply conventions to Design the outcome. They will then proceed to use advanced processes to develop the outcome.
Throughout the year, you will be gathering evidence of the knowledge and skills you are developing. Your evidence will be checked throughout the year for both formative checkpoint marking and summative internal assessment marking. Therefore, it is important that you start from the beginning of the year keeping good notes including your proposal and development ideas, research, brainstorms, sketches, doodles, storyboards, your decision process, the skills learned (including screenshots of your process) the analysis of how or why you use certain tools/techniques when creating your outcome.
The external assessment for the course will be an external exam that is a summary of your learning during the project at the end of Term 3.
Course Overview
Term 1
Students will study project planning methodologies and develop a proposal for a digital solution using research and inquiry-focused questions.
Term 2
Students will develop a design for their proposed digital outcome and start to develop their digital outcome
Term 3
Students will use an iterative process to develop their digital outcome and computer program and digital outcome and start to study for the external exam.
Term 4
Students will continue to study for the external examination. They will summarise the work completed over the year and present their digital outcomes.
