Answer Key
VCE Innovative Solutions · Part 1 of 2 · Student wording will vary for definitions
1deskilling — The process by which workers lose skills or become less capable as automated digital systems take over tasks that humans previously needed to learn and perform themselves
2disruptive solution — A solution that significantly challenges or replaces existing products, services or ways of doing things — transforming an industry or creating an entirely new market
3assistive technology — A digital system designed to help people with disabilities perform tasks that would otherwise be difficult or impossible, such as screen readers, hearing aids and communication devices
4Ideation technique — A structured method used to generate a wide range of possible solutions to a problem before one is selected for development
5Proof-of-concept, Prototype, Product — Three progressive stages of solution development: proof-of-concept tests feasibility, prototype demonstrates function, and product is the final polished release
6Need or opportunity — A problem worth solving or a gap worth exploring, forming the starting point for developing a digital solution
7Data collection method — A structured technique, such as an interview, survey, or observation, used to gather information about user needs before designing a solution
8Functional requirement — A specific action, task, or feature that a solution must be able to perform
9Non-functional requirement — A quality describing how well a system performs, such as speed, security, or reliability, rather than what it does
10Constraints and scope — The limits on a project (constraints, like time or budget) and the boundaries of what the solution will and won't include (scope)
