Formative Internal Assessment 3: Digital Solution (25%)

Students generate an innovative digital solution to a real-world problem with a focus on data security and impacts in any of the four technology contexts: web application, mobile application, interactive media or intelligent systems. Students document the application of the problem-solving process in response to a stimulus supplied by the teacher.

Assessment Objectives

4. Determine success criteria for the identified real-world problem.
5. Synthesise information and ideas to develop the possible solutions for data, user interface and programmed components for a secure digital solution.
6. Generate user interfaces and programmed components of the digital solution.
7. Evaluate components and the digital solution against success criteria to make refinements and justified recommendations and evaluate impacts.
8. Make decisions about and use mode-appropriate features, written language and conventions for a technical audience.

Instrument-specific Marking Guide

  • modified IA2 - expectations for security are lower.

Additional Information

  • Schools can decide what they want to do but are encouraged to let students experience assessments similar to IA1, IA2 & IA3 when completing the formative tasks. This assumes that FIA1, FIA2 and FIA3 will map as much as possible to the corresponding IAs but exclude information that hasn't been taught yet.
