Introduction[edit]

When we ask, "What should a student know and be able to do?" related to web applications, these standards answer the question. Students need time to explore deeply.

Essential Understandings[edit]

When this course is over, students will have the skills and knowledge to:

  • Understand the foundations of the web
  • Apply a design process to build quality web applications
  • Apply computational thinking to problems, designs and solutions
Assessment Statement Big Idea
Inquiring and Analyzing
Explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience Design
Identify and prioritize the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem
Analyse a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem
Develop a detailed design brief which summarizes the analysis of relevant research
Developing Ideas
Develop a design specification which clearly states the success criteria for the design of a solution
Develop a range of feasible design ideas which can be correctly interpreted by others
Present the final chosen design and justify its selection
Develop accurate and detailed planning drawings/diagrams and outline the requirements for the creation of the chosen solution.
Creating the Solution
Outline a plan, which considers the use of resources and time, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution
Demonstrate excellent technical skills when making the solution
Follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended
List the changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution
Present the solution as a whole
Evaluating
Outline simple, relevant testing methods, which generate data, to measure the success of the solution
Outline the success of the solution against the design specification
