Teacher in Charge: S. Hale

Level 3 Digital Technologies: iProject - Semester B

Course Overview	Learning and assessment will be project-based, against a combination of the standards below. A suitable project (including selection of standards) will be determined in consultation with each student, and their mentor.
Why should students take this course?	This course is designed for students who have an interest in any of the various aspects of digital technology, such as data, coding or animation.
What curriculum skills will students learn in this course?	The student-led, project-based nature of this course means students will be developing their key competencies, with particular focus on self-management and problem solving. The scope for choice within the standards offered means students will be able to develop digital technology skills relevant to their interests.
Assessment Options	Students in Semester B only: Students will complete a single project, to be assessed against multiple standards. All students will be assessed against one or both of AS91900 and AS91901. Based on the nature of their project, students will also be assessed against one of AS91902, AS91903, AS91904, AS91905, AS91906.
