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) ACTDIK024

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

Elaboration (3) ACTDIK024

investigating how colours are represented in images and videos, for example manipulating red, green and blue (RGB) colours in an image editor

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 ACTDIP025

designing a search engine query to find specific information on the web and checking its accuracy against information contained in other sources, for example entering instructions such as intitle: and inurl: prefixes to find information within a general …

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP025

acquiring data from a range of sources, for example people, websites, books, mobile phones, radiofrequency identification (RFID) and data repositories such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics datasets, and compiling these data into a digital forma …

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 (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 (3) ACTDIP028

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

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP028

applying the principles and elements of design to a series of solutions to evaluate the success of each solution to hold the viewer’s attention, for example identifying which colour combinations or framing of visual elements keep different audiences engaged …

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP030

developing a digital game that manipulates models of real-world objects

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP030

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 ACTDIP031

comparing student solutions with existing solutions that solve similar problems, for example identifying differences in the user interface of two adventure games and explaining how these differences affect the usability or appeal of the game

Elaboration ACTDIP029

investigating and designing some common algorithms, such as to search, sequence, sort, merge, control data structures

Elaboration (1) ACTDIP026

visualising data to create information, for example identify trends and outlier data from spreadsheets using plots, or displaying geocoded data on a map

Elaboration (3) ACTDIP027

starting from a simplified system, gradually increase complexity until a model of a real-world system is developed, and record the difficulties associated with each stage of implementation

Elaboration (2) ACTDIP028

identifying similar digital systems and their user interfaces, assessing whether user interface elements can be re-used

Elaboration (5) ACTDIP031

comparing cloud-based information systems to client-based information systems

Elaboration ACTDIK023

explaining that networks have components that control the movement of data, for example routers, hubs, switches and bridges manage data traffic and that the characteristics of these components impact on the operation (speed and security) of networks

Elaboration (1) ACTDIK023

explaining how cellular radio towers (transceivers) and mobile phones work together to create mobile networks
