Working in Teams on Projects is what so much of computing is about, this module given you the opportunity to develop your team working skills. You will explore some of the theories about teams and group work and importantly use them to inform your behaviour whilst working on a group project. You will identify an organisation to base your work around and produce an application to support their activity. Groups will be made up of students with interests in many areas of computing so the chance to draw on each others interests will enhance the potential solutions to the organisations you work with. Finally you will reflect on the successes and challenges of working in groups with an increase toolset for future collaborative activity.
