Unit of Competency CUADIG502 - Design digital applications
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design digital applications, which may consist of one or many technologies integrated in various combinations.It applies to individuals who work with clients to design specifications for digital applications, which are then built by other specialised team members. Digital applications may be operated in a web or mobile device environment.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

project briefs on which designs can be based

sample content.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine project requirements
  • Analyse project brief to identify purpose of, and target audience for, digital applications
  • Consult with clients or relevant personnel to clarify project requirements, including project timelines
  • Identify target audience characteristics and determine how these influence design
  • Identify content and application functions and how these are accessed, searched and delivered
       
Element: Research digital applications
  • Research digital applications and analyse how these meet audience, function and content requirements

  • Specify report generation if required
  • Specify production requirements, including appropriate testing strategies
  • Produce draft design specifications and instructions for design and development teams to use
       
Element: Review and confirm design specifications
  • Use a range of techniques to present draft design specifications, and discuss with client
  • Review designs against creative and technical requirements, and client and audience needs
  • Adjust designs as necessary after discussions with relevant personnel
  • Clarify ownership of intellectual property to comply with production and organisational requirements
  • Confirm, with client, acceptance of design specifications, including deliverables, milestones and timelines
