On KnowItAll Ninja we have just launched a brand new BTEC Tech Award DIT Component 1 course that will help you deliver this unit and prepare your students for their assignments on the 2022 specification.

The Exploring User Interface Design Principles component is a unit that introduces students to the principles of good user interface design as well as project management skills. Both of these subjects are important skills that can lead to fantastic employment opportunities.

The new course on KnowItAllNinja.com covers the entirety of the learning aims for this unit, which includes:

  • Understand interface design for individuals and organisations
    • User interfaces
    • Audience needs
    • Design principles
    • Designing an efficient user interface
  • Be able to use project planning techniques to plan, design and develop a user interface
    • Project planning techniques
    • Creating a project proposal and plan
    • Creating an initial design
    • Developing a user interface
  • Be able to review a user interface
    • Review

This new course is designed for the updated 2022 specification, but due to the similarities with the existing BTEC Tech Award DIT Component 1 specification, it could be of use for students studying the older course too.

Exploring User Interface Design Principles Course

As discussed, this course covers the entirety of the learning aims for the Component 1 specification. Through 21 lessons students will learn everything they need to know in order to successfully complete their assignments.

Each lesson not only includes detailed explanations but also has summary presentations, interactive activities and dedicated self-marking quizzes. The self-marking quizzes can be tracked by teachers allowing them to monitor student engagement and progress.

Thanks to recent updates to KnowItAll Ninja, teachers can even schedule lessons and assign deadlines, so all your homeworks can be managed through KnowItAll Ninja and students will never have an excuse to miss a deadline.

You can check out the first five lessons completely for free:
