Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This is very much a hands-on approach to learning with a large proportion of the time devoted to the development of practicaland theoretical skills. This is intermixed with a lecture program that aims to introduce and develop the core principles of IoTsecurity systems. In general lectures are used to introduce advanced methods and techniques to provide data security in IoTsystems. The practical and tutorial work is then used to broaden and develop deeper understanding of the subject area. (LO1,LO2, LO3). The module has a significant practical element in that 30% of the technical content will be delivered during labsessions in which students are expected to complete exercises involving system design, device programming and encryptionalgorithms. Moodle is used as the central repository for all courseware and is used to encourage discussion forums on current moduleissues as well as related topics and wider resources.
|
Formative assessment takes place during the timetabled tutorial sessions where students are expected to present evidence ofpractical work. Feedback is provided to students on a one-to-one basis through discussion during tutorial sessions with theclass tutor allowing individual strengths and weaknesses highlighted in timely fashion. The overall objective here is that anyremedial study can be put in place at the earliest possible point in the delivery of the module.
|
Summative assessment is implemented through a combination of class tests and a practical coursework exercises:The class tests are scheduled to take place during week 7 and week 13 and are a closed-book test with a duration of 90 minutes for each (LO 1, 2, 3). These are an essay style tests.Practical coursework (LO1, 3) requires the development of a report related to IoT technologies, security and attacks as well as experimenting with such attacks. Some of this work is formally supervised to ensure that progress is being made and that the work is of the correct standard. Feedback is routinely given to all students on a one-to-one basis, and is delivered during the timetabled practical sessions. In practice, the coursework progress is monitored at several points throughout its development with individual and group feedback provided though ongoing discussions with the class tutor.
