improving the appearance and usability of data, for example using colour, headings and labelling of images to organise and accurately identify data

using software to sort and calculate data when solving problems, for example sorting numerical and categorical data in ascending or descending order and automating simple arithmetic calculations using nearby cells and summing cell ranges in spreadsheet …

Elaboration (5) ACTDIP009

recognising that all types of data are stored in digital systems and may be represented in different ways such as files and folders with names and icons

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP010

experimenting with different ways of describing a set of instructions, for example writing two versions of the same simple set of instructions for a programmable robotic device

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP010

defining and describing the sequence of steps needed to incorporate multiple types of data in a solution, for example sequencing the steps in selecting and downloading images and audio to create a book trailer

Elaboration ACTDIP011

designing and implementing a simple interactive digital solution using a visual programming language, for example preparing the content and design of a simple guessing game that provides options in English and an Asian language

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP011

using different design tools to record ways in which digital solutions will be developed, for example creating storyboards or flowcharts to record relationships or instructions about content or processes

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP012

testing the adequacy of student solutions, for example asking a classmate to review a digital solution and provide feedback

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP017

investigating characteristics of user interfaces that are common for particular types of problems, for example, touch screens – many people respond more intuitively than when using a keyboard or stylus; and the consistent placement of symbols helps with …

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP017

using and interpreting data, establishing the root cause of a problem, for example using an annotated diagram to identify omissions, duplications or mismatches of data

Elaboration (5) ACTDIP019

using different design tools to record ways in which digital solutions will be developed, for example creating storyboards or flowcharts to record relationships or instructions about content or processes

Elaboration ACTDIP020

experimenting with different options that involve repeat instructions, for example a continually repeating slideshow, a repeated movement in an animation, a repeated calculation in a spreadsheet

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP020

planning and implementing a solution using a visual programming language, for example designing and creating a simple computer game involving decisions and repetitions, suitable for younger children, that requires user input to make selections, taking …

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP020

designing and creating a solution that is interactive, using a visual programming language, for example designing a user interface for people with disability, taking into account visibility and size of icons; or creating a quiz that provides feedback …

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP020

creating a quiz where questions are repeated until the correct response is given, for example questions and feedback on responses in a few slides in a slideshow

Elaboration (5) ACTDIP020

experimenting with different ways of instructing to make choices and repeat instructions, for example using ‘IF’ statements to allow for making choices and iterations (repeat instructions) until a goal is achieved

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 (2) ACTDIP021

imagining how the functioning of one type of information system could be applied in a new way to meet a community or national need, for example considering how an electronic tracking system such as a global positioning system (GPS) could be used to find …

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP022

developing a set of ‘rules’ about appropriate conduct, language and content when communicating online, and using these rules as a basis for resolving ethical dilemmas

Elaboration (3) ACTDIK023

recognising that there are different communications protocols for transmitting data in networks, for example hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) is used for transferring web page files in a browser, file transfer protocol (FTP) is used for sending and …
