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

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 (1) ACTDIK007

using specific peripheral devices to capture different types of data, for example using a digital microscope to capture images of living and non-living things

Elaboration (4) ACTDIK024

converting between decimal and 8-bit (1 byte) unsigned binary, covering whole numbers typically used for characters and RGB, for example 65 in decimal is 01000001 in 8-bit binary

Elaboration (2) ACTDIK014

investigating how the internal and external components of digital systems are coordinated to handle data, for example how a keyboard, central processing unit and screen work together to accept, manipulate and present data and information

Elaboration (2) ACTDIK024

investigating the different representation of bitmap and vector graphics and its consequences, for example pixelation in magnified bitmap and vector images

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 (2) ACTDIP038

investigating different types of non-functional requirements for solutions, for example considering how the requirements of reliability, user-friendliness, portability and robustness could affect the way people use solutions

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP038

investigating different types of functional requirements for solutions, for example increasing the speed of processing, calculating new results, improving the quality of reports

Elaboration (1) ACTDIK015

explaining that binary represents numbers using 1s and 0s and these represent the on and off electrical states respectively in hardware and robotics

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP018

applying the principles and elements of design to a set of requirements in order to produce a user interface for a system that addresses an identified need, for example to emphasise or highlight an area of the screen to draw the viewer’s attention to …

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 (1) ACTDIP012

imagining and considering alternative uses and opportunities for information systems used in the classroom, for example visiting a virtual museum and being able to feel the texture of historical Asian objects or to view Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander …

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 (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 (2) ACTDIP027

identifying that problems can be decomposed into sub elements, for example creating a decision tree to represent the breakdown and relationships of sub elements to the main problem or identifying the elements of game design such as characters, movements, …

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP043

creating an interactive web-based project that provides enterprising opportunities and complies with accessibility requirements, for example using fragments of a web language to create dynamic content that supports interactivity

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 (1) ACTDIP019

following, modifying and describing the design of a game involving simple algorithms represented diagrammatically or in English, for example creating a flowchart with software that uses symbols to show decisions, processes and inputs and outputs
