Learning Continuum of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability (Version 8.4)

This element involves students understanding and using appropriate ICT to communicate with others.

Students use ICT to share ideas and information to collaboratively construct knowledge and digital solutions. They develop an understanding of the context when communicating using ICT, including a sense of the audience, the form of communication, the techniques used and the characteristics of the users and the technologies. In developing and acting with ICT capability, students:

  • collaborate, share and exchange
  • understand computer-mediated communications.
