Knowledge of digital media focuses on understanding of concepts of digital media that need to be considered when developing digital media outcomes. Initially students learn about basic concepts of digital media. These basic concepts include such things as the media types, software resources, and techniques used to create digital media outcomes. They also include such things as influence of design elements, communication purpose, and ethics are considered when developing digital media outcomes. Students progress to learning about complex concepts of digital media such as those tools and techniques used to present content across multiple outcomes, application of digital media standards and conventions, asset management, file management, naming conventions, and legal, ethical, and moral considerations in relation to the requirements of digital media outcome within the wider community.
Level 7
Demonstrate understanding of advanced concepts in digital media
Teacher Guidance
To support students to develop understandings about the advanced concepts in digital
media at level 7, teachers could:
• Provide students with the opportunity to explore a range of digital media outcomes.
• Ensure the digital media outcomes students investigate demonstrate an integration of media types and are of sufficient rigour for this level (see indicators below).
• Provide opportunity for students to explain how advanced tools and techniques have been used to create digital media outcomes.
• Provide opportunity for students to discuss the implications of adhering to digital media standards and conventions whilst developing digital media outcomes.
• Provide opportunity for students to discuss the importance of asset management and file management whilst developing digital media outcomes.
• Guide students to consider the legal, ethical, and moral responsibilities to the wider community when developing digital media outcomes.
• Guide students to understand the importance of appropriate data integrity and testing procedures whilst developing digital media outcomes.
• Support students to develop literacy strategies that assist them to write reports in a way that will allow them to identify, describe, explain, and discuss
Indicators
Students can:
• discuss why advanced tools and techniques have been used to create, edit and integrate digital media outcomes and how their use have enhanced the outcome
• explain the digital media standards and conventions used to produce digital media outcomes, and discuss the positive and negative implications of adhering to these standards and conventions when developing digital media outcomes
• explain how asset management and file management are applied in the development of digital media outcomes, and discuss the importance of effective and appropriate asset management and file management in the development of digital media outcomes
• explain legal, ethical and moral considerations in relation to the requirements of digital media outcomes in the wider community
• explain the data integrity and testing procedures used to ensure a digital media outcome meets the specifications, and how they were applied
• discuss the importance of appropriate data integrity and testing procedures in the development of digital media outcomes
• evaluate how the application of advanced tools, techniques, standards and conventions affect the quality of digital media outcomes
• discuss the relationship between standards and conventions, and legal, ethical and moral considerations in relation to the requirements of digital media outcomes.
Assessment:
AS91369 Digital Technologies 2.42
Demonstrate understanding of advanced concepts of digital media
Key messages from the standard
This standard is about analysing digital media outcomes and is not about creating a digital media outcome. However within a programme of work it is possible to link this knowledge standard (advanced concepts of digital media) with a skills standard where students get credit for creating a digital media outcome.
Teachers need to provide opportunities for students to explore a range of digital media outcomes. This might be by making case studies available, by inviting guest speakers to present a digital media outcome, or by class discussions analysing digital media outcomes.
Teachers need to ensure that the digital media outcomes investigated are suitably ‘advanced’ in nature. One aspect that determines the digital media outcome is suitable for use at Level 2 is that it has been developed using advanced tools and techniques as outlined in Explanatory Note 3. However this is not an exhaustive list of advanced tools and techniques so teachers need to use their own professional judgement.
Outcomes is plural so students are expected to investigate at least two digital media outcomes. One of these outcomes may be their own if they wish or they can use two outcomes developed by professionals.
Teachers need to encourage students to explore the importance of effective and appropriate asset management, file management and naming and other standards and conventions used in digital media.
A key requirement is to demonstrate understanding of digital media standards and conventions. Teachers need to guide students to understand what the standards and conventions are for the particular digital media area being analysed, such as naming conventions, code commenting, resolution, video format etc
Teachers need to ensure students understand the language in the standard associated with assessment as well as the specialist language related to digital media. Students obviously need to understand the specialist words such as digital media standards and conventions. But in addition they must understand the words used to describe the level of expected performance at each achievement grade; ie explain for achieved, discuss for merit, and evaluate and discuss for excellence.
Teachers need to ensure students know how to present their evidence that covers everything asked for in the standard. This evidence will be presented in a form negotiated with the teacher, produced in any media that clearly communicates the student’s understanding of advanced concepts of digital media

Exam week reflection
This week has been exam week. Looking at the listserve it seems to be something that other schools have a large issue in giving time to technology to have a slot.
I choose to have a three hour slot for my level 1 students. In that time they worked through Digital Technologies 1.40. A lot of the students have already developed work through class time earlier this year. Through this time they were able to bring it all together. Something in which a lot of them see as an outcome. they have until later next week to tidy up and hand in their first draft.
The second exam had the level 3 programming students in. The exam is a 2 hour exam, in which I game them a topic for Tech 3.14, this standard enables the students to develop an understanding of an technical area. The area we are looking at is 3d printing in the medical area. An interesting topic in which students really got into last year.
Digital Tech Level 2 started working on their information standard, one that I am looking at dropping next year as we already do the computer science standard. The standard is looking at shared information. We went through a number of areas including file management, privacy during the two hours.
Last was the media level 3 standard, 2 hours in which to work on their project. Was nice to hear the comments I managed to more in the last two hours that in a week of class work.
But it has raised a number of questions, and I busy trying to find some answers, how are we expected to aide our students in the development of their reports?

developing ideas
I have been busy of last doing some requests to NZQA on what has been happening with the subject Digital Technologies for the last three years.
At first I thought I would just look at the Achievement Standards in Digital Technologies, but I found that this only provided one side of the story. we have a number of schools that are still teaching Unit Standards and offering alternative qualifications. This came out of a project some of the students are working on. To see what was happening within New Zealand schools. This will hopefully be released next week.
The second request looked at National Certificate in Computing L2 and L3, just how many Certificates were being awarded in this area. Looking at the data over the past four years this is showing a trend down.
The third request looked at the number of different unit standards, from Computing, Software engineering, and business administration, all of which can make up a course within as school.
The fourth looks at technology achievement standards across the whole matrix. Something I find amazing is how some schools are working the standards, or what they offer as a technology subject.
This has been a incredible project in thinking, in how to show the results, in how to bring in new data. I hope to release this in September.
Why not release now... I am still checking some pieces of the puzzle, and tidying up the look. Also I am letting some people have a look at it, just to make sure it makes sense.
