Week 5: Refining the target audience

As part of refining the target audience for the web app, I looked into the current IT curriculum for high school students, specifically when and how web languages (HTML and CSS) are taught.

The Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority has a draft national curriculum for Information Technology (up to grade 10).  The draft curriculum introduces the concepts of HTML and CSS for grades 7 and 8 (pages 89 and 90).

As I am not a teacher (and have been told the national curriculum is open to interpretation), I  also plan on speaking to an IT teacher to confirm what they actually teach and when.

Even though this forms a minor part of our assessment, I believe having a specific target audience will help us develop a more useful application.  The target audience will also go to forming the basis of any personas we develop.
