Stage 2 Digital Technologies: Immanuel College
Project Skills Task 4: Iterative Project Development. School App
Purpose
Use an iterative project development approach to create a Windows-based app for Immanuel College. eg:
• to be used for an educational aid for teachers and/or students
o could be a mixture of quiz and tutorial depending on complexity … .
• to be used as a managerial app for teachers and/or students
• to be used for the community/teachers/students at Immanuel College such as an
o online ordering app for the Wings © Café
o members benefit card for the Wings © Café
o dynamic roll entry app …
Assessment description
For this assessment you will use an iterative project development approach to create an app for a nominated purpose which needs to be first approved by your teacher in the form of a briefing. This solution may be a
completed product, a prototype or a proof of concept. To maximise your marks your code needs:
• to be efficient
• to use
o iteration
o selection
o multi-formed with at least a splash screen and a help/instruction form/window
o appropriate use of variables and data types.
• to use appropriate design techniques and tools
• to use appropriate programming conventions
Assessment conditions
You will work individually and have 5 weeks to complete this task.
You will need to present your solution in multimodal form of a maximum of 5 minutes, it must include − a brief description of what you will be creating and its main outcome/s
− flowchart, pseudocode or similar, to show how you have broken down the problem
− coded solution with comments
− validation showing how the solution works, how effective the solution is, & highlight any innovative features
− iterative development of ideas and concepts that lead to the final design
− evaluation of the effectiveness of the final design.
Below is an actual email request from a teacher who would like an app made for her maths class.
Hi Rob
It would be great if someone could program a 3-colour circular spinner and a 6 sided die forme to use with a Yr 8 investigation. Graphic representations are really key.
The two events should be on the screen together and should happen simultaneously when a button is pressed.
The circular spinner is three sectors with equal areas of three colours: RED BLUE YELLOW and a needle that lands on acolour.
The die should be 6 sided : either with the dots arrangement or just the numbers 1-6 on the faces but should correctly reflect the setup of a die. Opposite sides add up to 7.
The program should be one that can easily be put into the files section of a class immi page so that it can be
accessed/installed by all students on or off campus.
