Module Learning Strategies
Hands-on development of your implementation, which will involve technical problem-solving within the constraints of your time plan and accessing a range of technical and specialist sources of help.
An important part of the learning strategy is the direct one-to-one supervision of your project by a supervisor. The independent learning for this module will include your keeping of a logbook, which will encourage you to reflect about the problems you are meeting and the ways in which you are solving them. You will learn to prepare for and conduct business-like meetings with your supervisor and to communicate clearly and effectively with him or her. An important part of your learning will take place in direct discussion with your supervisor.

Module Indicative Content
The overall aim of the three project modules is to provide an opportunity for you to undertake a significant task on an individual basis.
This module covers: the development of an effective and feasible technological implementation; the testing of its functionality; the critical appraisal of it as an appropriate solution to an identified problem
monitoring and controlling
