YIIP1400 Advanced Technology (5 cu), 2012-2013
This is
mostly a virtual course. There are a couple of presentations which take place
in Dynamo building.
If the
presentation is sent through Adobe ConnectPro and you
want to watch/listen these presentations from your office/home, read the instructions.
In
addition, you can propose a suitable topic, with which you are willing to get
familiar (e.g. a webinar about ubiquitous computing or a special course such as
CISSP). If a student is willing to give a presentation on his/her own area of
expertise, this is credited.
You need to
listen to presentations about state-of-the-art technology and its applications.
Then, you report your main findings in a learning report, which will be
delivered to our learning environment (Optima) into a folder, for which other
course participants and tutors have read and comment permission.
We
give/arrange topical presentations (one to four hours each) totaling 16 hours.
In addition; you need to pick virtual lectures (webinars) so that the total
amount of listening presentations is 32 hours. Any topic can be replaced by
your own topic, if agreed beforehand (=> this means that you don’t have to
be present in our presentations; you can, for example, participate courses
offered by your company).
You present your findings in a closing seminar
on Friday 24.5.2013 (starting at 15.00). In addition, you should read and comment
other students learning reports (in our Optima learning environment).
Grading
Scale: 0-5. For passing (grade 1) you need to deliver the learning report from
16 hours of presentations. For better grades, more presentations need to be
reported + your findings should be presented in the final seminar + other
students’ reports commented. By default, you should write notes one page for
one hour’s presentation (or webinar). We also evaluate the quality (clarity,
correctness, readability, understandability) or your report, presentation, and
comments.
