Assessment Type 2: Collaborative Project (20%)

Students apply their learning about iterative project development to create a digital solution through a collaborative project. Each student presents individual evidence of their contribution to the project.

Students create:

• a digital solution (product, prototype, or proof of concept)
• an explanation of the solution
• an individual evaluation of each student’s role in developing the solution, and of the effectiveness of the collaborative working process.

The digital solution should be no more than 1 GB.

The problem chosen should be of interest to the group, the school, and/or the local community.

Students, as a group, present the project to the client or clients. They explain the digital solution (product, prototype, or proof of concept) and their project evaluation. Each student in the group explains their role in and contribution to the project, supported by evidence. Evidence may include digital communications between group members, screenshots, and/or any other relevant information. The explanation and evaluation should be up to 5 minutes per student.

The digital solution should be presented in a digital or multimodal form. The explanation and evaluation should be oral and multimodal and be recorded.

The teacher assesses each student’s individual contribution to the digital solution, explanation, and evaluation.

For this assessment type, students provide evidence of their learning primarily in relation to the following assessment design criteria:

• computational thinking
• development and evaluation.
