Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOs This is very much a hands-on approach to learning with three hours/week devoted to the development of practical and written skills. A further one hour per week is given over to a lecture program that introduces and develops the core principles of mobile systems. This work will build on the skills and knowledge gained in the prerequisite module – SET08114 Mobile applications development. In general lectures are used to introduce bounded case studies in specific areas of mobile systems technology [LO 2,3] and the practical and tutorial work is used broaden and develop deeper understanding of the subject area [LO1, 4]. The teaching material is supported using a combination of handouts, tutorials and computer based resources. Student progress is monitored via the tutorials and practical exercises. Additionally, progress monitoring facilitates student feedback that is timely, appropriate and remedial.Moodle is used as the central repository for all courseware and is used to encourage discussion forums on current module issues as well as related topics and wider resources.

To Support formative feedback, the Software Engineering subject group utilise a lab based teaching approach across their provision. During these lab sessions, staff will discuss and evaluate student progress and provide feedback on how well they are progressing with their work. All modules in the subject group also require students to demonstrate their coursework on submission to provide further formative feedback on how the work could be improved
|
The module is structured around four projects, the first three of which provide opportunities to become familiar with the required concepts, technologies and tools. Project 1 focuses on the design, development and operation of resource-constrained hardware devices for sensing applications [LO3, LO4]. Project 2 focuses on the development of mobile applications which use data supplied by sensors onboard the mobile device [LO1, LO4]. Project 3 integrates these two areas and introduces the requirement for wireless communications [LO2, LO4]. Project 4 allows the students to develop a system of their own design incorporating sensing and mobile technologies using appropriate tools and techniques [LO1,2,3,4]
