Creating for an audience

Create, re-use, revise and re-purpose digital artefacts for a given audience, with attention to trustworthiness, design and usability Link icon

All pupils will be using computers to create digital artefacts. The ability to use web search engines effectively is essential in finding and choosing existing artefacts that are available and appropriate - and a great opportunity for pupils to practise their Boolean logic!


You should discuss copyright, including ‘all rights reserved’ and open licensing. Open licences such as Creative Commons allow for re-use and re-purposing of digital artefacts as long as the open licence is applied to any modified work. Pupils might want to look at the implications of publishing some of their work online under such a licence, with the potential for global audiences.Link icon

Pupils? work should be purposeful, with the aim of meeting the needs of a given audience. Ideally, the audience should be a real person or people with whom the pupil can communicate. Care should be taken over design and usability, including accessibility for people with disabilities and inclusion of people whose first language is not English. Prototyping can be used instead of extensive design documentation. For example, pupils could create a prototype and make changes to it following feedback, to help them move closer to a solution.
