• exploring information systems that suit particular home or personal needs, for example using speech recognition software that can help speakers whose language background is not English, or a system to monitor energy or water consumption in the home (Skills: Literacy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability)
• testing the adequacy of student solutions, for example asking a classmate to review a digital solution and provide feedback (Skills: Literacy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
