DIGI202

Level 2 Digital Technologies

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs R. Leota.

PURPOSE: In doing this course, the students take on the role of a Technologist. They follow the Technology Process to research and develop solutions to meet the brief and specifications. This course focuses on product design and development. The students will further develop their problem solving skills by using technologies to answer their own questions. They will develop workplace inter-personal skills by working with a client and stakeholders to create a conceptual design, prototype and one-off digital solution.

COURSE OUTLINE: This course involves the students expanding upon their skills gained in earlier Digital Technologies courses and exploring their interests through a year-long project. In this project the students will determine their own client and create a product to meet an identified need within a context. This is where students will get an opportunity to explore paths they are interested in and undertake self-directed learning. This project is broken up into sections as it is made up of three different Achievement Standards, worth a total of 16 credits. 


Recommended Prior Learning

Level 1 Digital Technologies (Web or Print). Students who have not completed one of the Level 1 Digital Technologies courses may be considered at the discretion of the Head of Department, Digi and Design Tech. However, they will struggle and will need to be self-directed learners.
