Year 12 Digital Technologies - Digital Media (12DGT)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Dunleavy, Mr R. Rounds.
This academically rigorous course is designed for students who are eager to expand their expertise in digital media, specifically web design, and digital information, including databases. Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to engage with industry-standard software applications such as Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, which are essential tools for creating visually compelling digital content.
In the digital information component of the course, students will dive deep into the world of databases, learning how to design, create, and manage complex data structures.
Web design is another key focus of this course, with students learning the intricacies of HTML, the fundamental language of the World Wide Web. They will gain hands-on experience in creating interactive and responsive websites that adhere to modern design principles and user experience best practices.
It is important to note that students who wish to enroll in multiple Digital Technologies subjects, such as 12DGT and 12PRG, should be aware of the overlap in assessments between these courses. While students are not permitted to earn the same credits in both courses, an alternative assessment will be provided to ensure a comprehensive and well-rounded learning experience. This approach allows students to explore various facets of digital technologies without duplicating their efforts.
