Elaboration ACTDIP039

designing the user interface of a solution using story boards and mock-ups, for example mocking up the product design of an app for people with disability

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP039

identifying similar digital systems and existing user interfaces, assessing whether their elements can be reused

evaluating aspects of the total user experience, that is, all aspects of the system as perceived by the users, for example, a user’s initial experience of setting up and using a system, or a user’s emotional or cultural response to using a digital sy …

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP039

designing documentation, branding, and marketing for a digital solution, for example a product demonstration screencast or ‘getting started’ user guide

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP039

applying the principles and elements of design to a client’s requirements and evaluating the success of a solution through an iterative feedback process, for example using customer feedback to refine a user interface to more effectively provide access …

Elaboration ACTDIP040

designing algorithms to solve real-world problems and describing algorithms using flow charts and structured English, for example START, END, IF and UNTIL

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP040

recognising that different algorithms can solve a problem with different trade-offs

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP040

tracing algorithms to predict results and program state for a given input, for example desk checking or using an interactive debugging tool

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP040

using tracing techniques to test algorithms, for example desk checking an algorithm for a given input by stepping through the algorithm while keeping track of contents of the variables

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP040

developing test cases that correspond to the requirements of the specifications, for example validating program behaviour on a range of valid and invalid user input

Elaboration ACTDIP041

coding separate modules that perform discrete functions but collectively meet the needs of the solution

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP041

defining classes that represent the attributes and behaviour of objects in the real world or in a game

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP041

considering different algorithms and selecting the most appropriate based on the type of problem, for example choosing appropriate algorithms for particular problems

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP041

selecting different types of data structures such as an array, record and object to model structured data

Elaboration ACTDIP042

investigating actions, devices and events that are potential risks to information systems, for example losing portable storage devices containing important files, deliberately infecting systems through malware, and power surges

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP042

investigating techniques used by people and organisations to shape how information systems are used, for example refusing to use innovations, using social media to advocate behaviours, purchasing devices, withdrawing previous processes that can now only …

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP042

investigating the impact and opportunities created through the practice of planned obsolescence, for example discussing the benefits and risks to users, the creators and the environment of information systems having a defined life span, taking into account …

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP042

examining the ICT policy for schooling and evaluating the impact on education

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP042

reviewing the ‘terms of use’ policies on social media networks and predicting ways in which these can support advocacy of change and protection of individuals and societies

Elaboration (5) ACTDIP042

reviewing state, national and regional policies and analysing the potential impact of each. Examples of policies include: Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework, the Australian Government ICT Sustainability Plan 2010–2015; the Green …
