Digital Technologies

Digital technologies focus on understanding, developing and using digital software, hardware and electronic systems across a range of contexts including school, the home and wider community settings. Students develop and understandings and skills related to producing quality digital outcomes or environments.

The components of Digital Technologies are:

Knowledge of Digital Information Management

Digital Information focuses on the knowledge, skills, and competencies that people need to locate, evaluate, and present digital information efficiently, effectively, and ethically.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Apply Digital Information Management Tools to Create an Outcome

Applying digital information management tools requires students to manipulate and combine data to create an outcome.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Knowledge of Digital Media

Digital media focuses students on understanding how different media types integrate to create digital content for the web, and interactive digital platforms and print.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Create a Digital Media Outcome

Creating a digital media outcome requires students to construct a digital media outcome that integrates media types and incorporates original content.

Knowledge of Computer Science and Software Engineering

Computer science and software engineering focuses on the concepts and tools that are needed to write programs that run quickly, are easy to use, and produce effective output. It also requires an understanding of the limitations of computers.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Design a Software Program Structure

Designing a software program structure requires students to apply software practices to construct an algorithm to achieve an outcome.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Construct a Software Program

Constructing a software programme requires student to develop, test and debug a software program that achieves the tasks describe by an algorithm.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Knowledge of Electronic Environments

Knowledge of electronic environments focuses on the integration of electronic components and techniques to design electronic environments.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Develop an Electronic Environment

Developing an electronic environment requires students to integrate electronic components and techniques to assemble and test an electronic environment.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Assemble and Test Electronic and Embedded Systems

Assembling electronic and embedded systems requires students to create a specified system by successfully integrating hardware and software, and applying testing and debugging techniques.
See Learning Objectives and Teacher Guidance

Knowledge of Digital Infrastructure

Knowledge of digital infrastructure focuses on how to build, install, maintain, and support computers, networks, and systems so that they are secure and efficient. It includes understanding how the physical components of a system, the security of the system, and the processes and technologies work together to allow people and organisations to use the system.
