Elaboration (3) ACTDIK007

recognising that images and music can be transferred from a mobile device to a computer, for example using a cable to connect a camera and computer to upload images for a photo story

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) 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 (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

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 (3) ACTDIP043

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

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP016

using software to automate calculations to help with interpreting data, for example using functions to make arithmetic calculations using multiple cells and summing cell ranges

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

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP037

simulating simple, iterative processes, for example modelling compound interest or ecological models using a spreadsheet

Elaboration (2) ACTDIK007

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 (3) ACTDIP044

investigating major causes of threats to data, for example human actions such as losing a storage device, disclosing passwords, theft and fraud

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 (3) ACTDIP011

implementing programs that make decisions on the basis of user input or choices such as through selecting a button, pushing a key or moving a mouse to ‘branch’ to a different segment of the solution

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP013

managing a project that involves students working together to publish online, for example identifying how group members can help each other to avoid delays in finishing the project

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP028

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