Planning, documentation and understanding of legislation / ethical / social issues

Provides detailed annotated planning and written documentation which explores a range of alternative options and reflects a clear and accurate understanding of relevant legislation, ethical and social issues.

Analysis, evidence, acknowledging sources,  technical language

Provides extensive evidence of analysis using a range of correctly acknowledged sources, and uses detailed and generally consistent technical language that informs the development of digital solutions.

Target Audience Needs, Project Purpose, System Requirements

Clearly and correctly identifies and evaluates the needs of the target audience, purpose of the project and system requirements and applies these results to digital solutions.

Client Requirements, and recommending changes

Consistently interprets and analyse of client requirements in the design of digital solutions, and recommends detailed changes in relation to client requirements.

Data Skills and Processes, Compare and Contrast Accuracy of Data from Sources

Applies skills and processes in collecting, transforming, organising and storing data from a range of sources, and demonstrates an ability to compare and contrast the currency, accuracy and authenticity of sources.

Creating Digital Solutions, Original/Creative Solutions

Demonstrates highly developed skills in creating digital solutions through aesthetic application of design principles, and incorporates some original insights and demonstrates creative application.

Planning, documentation and understanding of legislation / ethical / social issues

Provides suitably annotated planning and written documentation, as prescribed by the task, which explores some alternative options and reflects a sound understanding of relevant legislation, ethical and social issues.

Analysis, evidence, acknowledging sources,  technical language

Provides detailed evidence of analysis using acknowledged sources and consistently uses simple accurate technical language that informs the development of digital solutions.

Target Audience Needs, Project Purpose, System Requirements

Identifies and evaluates the needs of the target audience, purpose of the project, system requirements and generally applies these results to digital solutions.

Client Requirements, and recommending changes

Addresses the key requirements of client requirements with some interpretation and analysis in the design of digital solutions, and recommends changes in relation to client requirements.

Data Skills and Processes, Compare and Contrast Accuracy of Data from Sources

With minimal guidance is able to apply skills and processes in transforming, organising and storing data from a range of sources and demonstrates an ability to investigate currency, accuracy and authenticity of sources.

Creating Digital Solutions, Original/Creative Solutions

Demonstrates skills in creating digital solutions using aesthetic application of design principles, and incorporates some capacity for creative application.

Planning, documentation and understanding of legislation / ethical / social issues

Provides adequate planning and written documentation, meeting most task requirements, exploring limited options, and reflects a satisfactory understanding of relevant legislation, ethical and social issues.

Analysis, evidence, acknowledging sources,  technical language

Provides minimal evidence, some analysis and uses provided sources with occasional acknowledgement, while using simple technical language that informs the development of digital solutions.

Target Audience Needs, Project Purpose, System Requirements

Adequately identifies and partially evaluates some of the needs of the target audience, purpose of the project and system requirements and applies some of the results to digital solutions.

Client Requirements, and recommending changes

Partially addresses the key requirements of clients in the design of digital solutions and recommends some changes in relation to client requirements.

Data Skills and Processes, Compare and Contrast Accuracy of Data from Sources

With guidance is able to demonstrate skills and processes in transforming, organising and storing data from a range of sources and occasionally demonstrates an ability to investigate the currency, accuracy and authenticity of sources.

Creating Digital Solutions, Original/Creative Solutions

Demonstrates adequate skills in the creation of digital solutions, applying some design principles, and with some creative application.

Planning, documentation and understanding of legislation / ethical / social issues

Provides limited planning and written documentation, meeting basic task requirements which reflect minimal understanding of relevant legislation, ethical and social issues.

Analysis, evidence, acknowledging sources,  technical language

Provides limited evidence of using suggested sources with little to no acknowledgement, and inconsistent use of technical language with occasional inaccuracies related to digital solutions.

Target Audience Needs, Project Purpose, System Requirements

Limited identification of the needs of the target audience, purpose of the project and system requirements, and minimally applies this information in the creation of digital solutions.

Client Requirements, and recommending changes

Addresses the minimum requirements of clients with limited interpretation and analysis in the design of a digital solution and product and makes minimal recommendations for change in relation to client requirements.

Data Skills and Processes, Compare and Contrast Accuracy of Data from Sources

With guidance and direction demonstrates limited skill and processes in transforming, organising, and storing data from several sources, and demonstrates no clear understanding of the need to investigate the currency, accuracy, and authenticity of sources.

Creating Digital Solutions, Original/Creative Solutions

Demonstrates limited skills in the creation of digital solutions, applying little to no design principles.
