Abstract
Australian higher Education is governed by the Australian Qualifications Framework, setting outcomes for educational attainment at all post-secondary levels. Digital literacy is implied through requirements for ‘technical knowledge with depth in one or more disciplines’ and to ‘analyse and evaluate information’ [1, p. 47]. However, the emphasis on broader cognitive skills can result in a lack of explicit outcomes relating to digital literacy. To address this, an Australian University has undertaken to assure these skills in a degree in Games and Interactive Design, where aspirational designers have been shown to lack some of assumed digital skills within that discipline.
