Year 11 Digital Technology

Course Description

This is a course designed to help prepare students for the digital age through learning problem solving skills, computer science concepts and tools such as 3D modelling and software development. As we seek to inspire students to become digital creators, we will develop projects that will challenge and stimulate your personal creativity. To do this, there will be a focus on continued learning of the skills necessary to unleash that creativity. This will include iterative design and problem solving, integration of digital media and information, plus research, testing, production and evaluation. Students will explore and create a variety of different original outcomes including their own animation and computer game. It is intended to lead into Digital Technologies Level 2.

We will also look into the area of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) an look at what makes good design in this area.

This video explains why good system design is important.


The frustrations of lag in computer systems.
