Plan and create a digital artefact from a given brief
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can follow the project lifecycle to create a digital artefact from a given client brief.
Key learning points
- The client brief contains key information to create the success criteria for the project.
- The planning document needs to be selected to fit the digital artefact that's to be created.
- The software should be selected to meet the requirements of the digital artefact.
- User feedback is important to gather feedback from the target audience the product is designed for.
Keywords
Evaluation - reflecting on what has been done well and what could be improved
User feedback - structured questions to ask others for their opinions to help improve a digital artefact
Common misconception
Once a product is completed it does not need to be improved if I am happy with it as the creator.
Listening to other opinions and referring to the success criteria of the client brief is essential to help develop a product that meets the client brief completely.
Teacher tip
Asking students to create a range of artefacts will allow others to review different products and see which work well together.
Equipment
Pupils will need access to a device that has software that can create a digital artefact. Examples in this lesson use Canva https://oak.link/canva
