Learning outcomes and graduate attributes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

GA1: Intellectual rigour, GA2: Creativity, GA3: Ethical practice, GA4: Knowledge of a discipline, GA5: Lifelong learning, GA6: Communication and social skills, GA7: Cultural competence
Learning outcome count Learning outcome description GA1 GA2 GA3 GA4 GA5 GA6 GA7
1 describe and demonstrate different types of interactivity within interactive multimedia applications
2 identify the different types of user feedback used in educational and game-based multimedia applications
3 generalise the development of multimedia products across different development environments
4 produce documentation using design tools such as flowcharts, storyboards and pseudocode for complex user interactions
5 design and develop a multimedia application that is in accordance with design specifications and documentation and features a variety of appropriate types of interactivity and feedback
6 incorporate appropriate program development strategies and practices, including the development of a variety of prototypes
7 identify and incorporate suitable use of complex user-interactivity in object-oriented programming (OOP) or program-controlled environments.
