Elaboration (2) ACTDIP005

recognising safe ergonomic practices when children are playing with information systems, for example recognising the need to take regular breaks to avoid eye strain and repetitive strain injuries

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP016

recognising the difference between numerical, text and date formats in spreadsheets

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP030

programming a robot to recognise particular objects and to treat them differently, for example choose objects based on colour

Elaboration (2) ACTDIK015

recognising that the numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3 could be represented by the patterns of two binary digits of 00, 01, 10 and 11

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP043

creating online interactive solutions for working with others by combining or modifying online software tools to support project work

Elaboration ACTDIK015

recognising that digital systems represent all types of data using number codes that ultimately are patterns of 1s and 0s (called binary digits, which is why they are called digital systems)

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP049

re-imagining designs to feature emerging technologies

experimenting with different types of digital system components and peripheral devices to perform input, output and storage functions, for example a keyboard, stylus, touch screen, switch scan device or joystick to input instructions; a monitor, printer …

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP011

exploring common elements of standard user interfaces that are familiar and appeal to users, for example navigation links on the left and top of web pages to help users interact with the site

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP012

exploring information systems that suit particular home or personal needs, for example using speech recognition software that can help speakers whose language background is not English, or a system to monitor energy or water consumption in the home

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP018

designing the user interface of a solution using different design tools, for example using a storyboard to outline the stages of a game or a mock-up to show the placement of icons

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP037

automating calculations, for example using absolute cell referencing to automatically extend formulas, and automating arithmetic calculations using built-in functions such as trigonometry, compound interest

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP013

organising and creating different types of information for sharing and collaborating online, for example planning the sequence and appearance of an animation, and sharing it online with students from another school

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP028

identifying similar digital systems and their user interfaces, assessing whether user interface elements can be re-used

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP031

investigating what features of touch input rather than keyboard or mouse input contribute to their success in meeting a wide range of needs, for example mimicking a common movement such as expanding or contracting a hand to change the size of an object …

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP036

developing strategies to ensure the privacy and security of survey data, for example using numbers rather than names as identifiers; password protecting files to reduce risks of modifying data and using CAPTCHA™ to confirm human responses

Elaboration (3) ACTDIK001

recognising and using hardware and software components of digital systems and experimenting with their functions, for example playing with interactive toys and robotic devices to determine which ones can work with other devices

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP022

considering ways of managing the use of social media to maintain privacy needs, for example activating privacy settings to avoid divulging personal data such as photographs, addresses and names

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP026

applying a set of conditions to a spreadsheet to organise and filter data, for example using conditional formatting to highlight the state of particular cells, and filtering and sorting categorical data using column filters

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP043

applying techniques to make ethical decisions when faced with dilemmas about security and ownership of data, for example selecting an action that results in the greatest benefit for the most number of people; avoiding the use of photos of deceased persons …
