L2 Digital Technology Studies

This course involves creation of Databases, applying conventions and developing a digital technologies outcome (Web-development), Demonstrating use of a Computer Science concept (External) and creating a computer program (Optional)

Databases involve:

• Planning and creating a relational database and involve creating queries, forms, reports and login screens

Applying conventions and developing a digital technologies outcome involves:

• Develop a conceptual design for an outcome using relevant conventions (including web, coding, design elements and principles and Nielsen’s Heuristics)
• Use advanced processes (including project management tools and techniques) to develop a digital media outcome (web-HTML & CSS)
• Use feedback from end users/stakeholders and information testing from testing procedures to improve their outcome.
• Address relevant implications.
• Use the process of iteration.

Creating a computer Program involves:

• Planning and creating a computer program using Python/Java, implementing advanced programming concepts like Graphics User Interfaces, user defined methods/functions and/or Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) (Optional)
• using menu's, arrays, methods/functions

Demonstrating use of a Computer Science concept involves:

• Students looking at advanced concepts in Computer Science.   Topics include computer security, encryption, error control, complexibility and traceability and AI (3-hour external exam)
