describing in simple terms the nature of a problem and what a solution needs to achieve, for example what need the problem is associated with, who the solution is needed for, what data are needed and what features the solution would need to include

Elaboration ACTDIP021

using sustainability criteria to explain how well students' solutions meet requirements, for example personal data are secured (social) and the solution can only be viewed on screen to avoid printing (environmental)

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP026

querying an existing database to extract data for analysis, for example devising multiple selection criteria or using simple structured query language (SQL) SELECT statements to select records and retrieve specified fields

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP036

Elaboration (5) ACTDIP037

interpreting schemas that represent relationships between entities and querying data across tables, for example using foreign keys to represent relationships and joining tables in structured query language (SQL) SELECT statements

Elaboration ACTDIK014

describing digital systems as having internal and external components that perform different functions, for example external components for inputting data including keyboard, microphone, stylus; internal processing components including the central processing …

Elaboration (3) ACTDIK008

exploring codes and symbols that are representations of data, for example morse code and semaphore and how similar symbols in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art can represent different concepts depending on the context, for example three circles, …

Elaboration ACTDIP017

checking existing solutions to identify features that are transferable to new but similar digital solutions, for example identifying if there are any similarities (such as user age and special requirements) between an existing game and a new game to be …

Elaboration (5) ACTDIK001

constructing a model of a real or imaginary digital systems device for use in role-play scenarios and explaining the features of the device to an adult
