Elaboration (3) ACTDIP028

presenting and comparing alternative designs to a solution for a problem, for example presenting alternative design mock-ups to the class

applying the principles and elements of design to a series of solutions to evaluate the success of each solution to hold the viewer’s attention, for example identifying which colour combinations or framing of visual elements keep different audiences engaged …

Elaboration ACTDIP029

investigating and designing some common algorithms, such as to search, sequence, sort, merge, control data structures

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP029

checking the accuracy of an algorithm before it is implemented, for example desk checking it with test data to see if the instructions produce the expected results

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP029

using diagrams to describe key decisions, for example creating flowcharts using digital systems to describe a set of computational instructions

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP029

using structured English to express algorithmic instructions, for example using conventional statements such as ‘while’ and ‘endwhile’ in a ‘while loop’ when describing interactive instruction

Elaboration ACTDIP030

developing and modifying digital solutions by implementing instructions contained in algorithms through programs

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP030

developing a digital game that manipulates models of real-world objects

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP030

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

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP030

creating digital solutions that provide user navigation and prompts with controlled repetitions, for example an information kiosk that has layers of buttons and prompts the user three times before returning to the beginning

Elaboration ACTDIP031

comparing student solutions with existing solutions that solve similar problems, for example identifying differences in the user interface of two adventure games and explaining how these differences affect the usability or appeal of the game

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP031

judging the quality of a student solution based on specific criteria such as meeting an economic need or contributing to social sustainability

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 (3) ACTDIP031

evaluating the success of information systems in meeting an economic, environmental or social objective, for example interviewing a local business owner to find out how effectively their information system supports a business objective such as increasing …

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP031

considering the effects of e-waste on societies and environments, for example the impacts of toxic chemicals when hardware is disposed of, and the practice of dumping unwanted digital systems overseas, particularly in the Asia region

Elaboration (5) ACTDIP031

comparing cloud-based information systems to client-based information systems

Elaboration ACTDIP032

establishing a set of ‘rules’ about acceptable and unacceptable behaviour when collaborating online, considering how different social contexts affect participation in global virtual spaces, including considering the use of language, acronyms and humour, …

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP032

creating web-based information to meet specific needs, for example modifying an existing website template or using web-authoring software including using HTML and cascading style sheets (CSS) to create a website that allows customers to interact with …

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP032

discussing policies about the use of information systems in a range of settings, for example using mobile phones for learning and accessing social media websites at school

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP032

organising the instructions and files in readiness for implementation of a solution, for example applying a file naming convention to all data files that are going to be used to create solutions
