You will identify a purpose. What problem, need, or opportunity that affects other people can you address by using creative thinking to develop a digital technologies outcome? Technology is about intervention by design. That means using resources to solve problems, meet challenges, or explore new opportunities. You will have a chance to think outside the box when planning what your outcome will look like and what it will do.
Remember, you are developing this outcome for a user or users. You will need to make sure you keep them in mind at every step of your development process. Ask yourself “How will this work for my users?”
Once you know what you want to make, and why, you will need to do the following:
- describe the purpose of your outcome. What problem, need, or opportunity is it trying to address?
- describe the users. Who is the audience? What do the people who will use your outcome need?
- describe the requirements and specifications. These are short, specific statements that are measurable — you should be able to tick them off. What does your digital technologies outcome need to have, be, or do in order to achieve its purpose? How does it address the problem, need, or opportunity you have described and work best for the people it is intended for?
Once you have decided on these and recorded them, you can start developing your outcome.
- Think about and choose the most appropriate tools or techniques to use to create your outcome. You must keep evidence of which ones you used.
- Ensure you follow conventions for the tools or techniques that are relevant to the outcome you are developing.
- Use your knowledge of the relevant tools and techniques to ensure you apply them in the best way you can.
- Test your outcome more than once and use that information to make improvements during the development process.
- Trial your outcome with other people, including potential end user(s), and use that information to make improvements. You will need to keep evidence of this.
Your outcome needs to be fit for purpose. That means it meets the requirements and specifications that you have described, considers the potential users and context, and performs as intended. You will need to show this in your outcome or in your additional evidence.

How to present your learning
At the end of this task, you will need to hand in your outcome and evidence to your teacher for marking. You will also need to show that you have completed the following:
- described the purpose, users, requirements, and specifications for your outcome
- tested your outcome yourself throughout the development process, trialled it with other people, and made improvements to it based on the information you gathered
- made an outcome which is fit for purpose.
Evidence for these could take the form of:
- annotated screenshots
- audio or video recordings, or screencasts
- planning boards
- testing documentation (such as testing tables)
- images
- descriptions of what you have done and why.
Besides your outcome, any evidence you hand in should be no more than five A4 pages or no more than 3 minutes of video or audio. Talk with your teacher if you would like to present your evidence in another way.

You will have approximately 4 weeks to develop your outcome for this assessment.
You will have approximately 4 weeks to develop your outcome for this assessment.
Getting started
Your teacher may help you to explore a range of issues and potential digital technologies outcomes that could be used to address them. Remember, this task is all about auahatanga: you can be innovative in your thinking.
Make a plan of what you want to develop, including as much detail as you need to be able to complete the task.
