• VCDTDI047

  Develop techniques for acquiring, storing and validating quantitative and qualitative data from a range of sources, considering privacy and security requirements

  Elaborations

  • developing strategies and techniques for capturing accurate and usable qualitative and quantitative data of different formats, for example using text entry for open-ended questions to acquire qualitative data, or using radio buttons or checkboxes for closed questions to acquire quantitative data
  • identifying strengths and weaknesses of collecting data using different methods, for example online surveys, face-to-face interviews, phone interviews, observation, blog entries in response to a posting, phone logs, browser history and online webcam systems
  • developing strategies to ensure the privacy and security of survey data, for example using numbers rather than names as identifiers, or passwords protecting files to reduce risks of modifying data and using CAPTCHA™ to confirm human responses
  • extracting specific data from an external source and storing it in a format that is more useful for analysis, for example combining mapping data from multiple electronic data sets to build a composite representation

• VCDTDI008

  Collect, sort and recognise simple patterns in data, and assist with the use of digital systems to represent data as pictures and symbols

  Elaborations

  • pairing identical objects from a small collection
  • copying a pattern associated with a familiar activity, for example repeating a movement pattern
  • matching, sorting and organising objects in practical situations
  • sorting objects and events based on easily identified characteristics and using digital systems to represent data, for example sorting objects based on colour or shape and creating a digital drawing
  • assisting to collect and sort data in a structured situation, for example questioning friends about their favourite animal or football team and selecting an image of the most popular response
  • assisting in using common software to present data creatively such as a slideshow, movie or sounds

  VCDTDI008 | Technologies | Digital Technologies | Level C | Data and Information

• VCDTDI016

  Independently and with others create and organise ideas and information using information systems, and share these with known people in safe online environments

  Elaborations

  • using different types of data such as images, sound and text to create information for sharing online, for example creating a multimedia class profile that includes a photo of each student, a personal audio recording and a written message
  • planning and creating text, drawings and sound files to share online, for example jointly creating a photo story to illustrate a fable or fairy-tale from the Asia region or a local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community story
  • making ethical decisions when using images for public viewing and using the work of others, for example asking the question ‘What is fair and just?’ to compare images of events or activities and decide whether or not to publish
  • participating in safe online environments, for example sharing ideas and information through intranets, messaging only to people they know, bookmarked websites and moderated online spaces
