Intro to AiDA

Hi! Welcome to my website with tonnes of resources and games to show you what DiDA is all about.

On the following pages there is a 'Fling the teacher' game to play, help files on completing your DiDA course and example files of what work could look like.

Have fun and please read below on what DiDA is all about and why students are so keen on it.


DiDA is the Diploma in Digital Applications, a revolutionary suite of three paperless qualifications from Edexcel that focuses on the practical application of technology.

DiDA qualifications prepare students for the real world of work or further education. They are designed to stimulate students' creativity and develop real-world, practical skills that will motivate learning across a wide range of subjects.

As a suite of qualifications, DiDA offers progression from the Award (AiDA), which is equivalent to one GCSE, to the Certificate (CiDA), and on to the full Diploma (DiDA), equivalent to four GCSEs.

The suite of DiDA qualifications is designed to:

* develop students' ability to select and use digital applications appropriately and produce high quality outcomes;

* promote the use of digital applications for achieving a goal, rather than for their own sake;

* enhance creativity and communication;

* equip students with some of the skills that they will need in the workplace or in further education or training;

* develop project management skills;

* free students' work from paper, making it organised, searchable, dynamic and transportable; and

* encourage students to reflect critically on their own and others' use of digital applications.
