Foundation Skills
This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.
|
Skill
|
Description
|
|
Numeracy
|
- Uses whole numbers, decimals and percentages applicable to file size, software and hardware specifications, measurement, font size, scale, ratio, colour, shading and other attributes and variables in developing interactive media
|
|
Oral communication
|
- Obtains information and expresses ideas and solutions by employing listening and open questioning techniques using plain English and interactive media terminology
|
|
Reading
|
- Identifies and evaluates online documentation containing complex technical terminology when conducting research into hardware, existing interactive media and industry standards
- Interprets and comprehends computer-generated text, code, diagrams, icons, symbols, numbers and letters required in using applicable software
|
|
Writing
|
- Identifies and uses technical terminology, code, syntax and labelling when conducting research and developing interactive media
|
|
Problem solving
|
- Uses systematic processes in complex, non-routine situations, setting goals, gathering required information and identifies and evaluates options against agreed criteria
- Uses analytical processes in deciding on a course of action, establishing criteria for deciding between options and seeking input and advice from others before taking action, when required
|
|
Self-management
|
- Identifies importance of file integrity and management
|
|
Technology
|
- Completes routine tasks using specific digital systems and tools
|
