Module Learning Strategies
On-line materials will exemplify topical issues and best practice case studies.
The practical nature of the module is emphasised by the provision of practical portfolio tasks and an assignment which reflects all the elements of the module.
Using the capabilities of a browser on the Internet, you will learn how to develop using OO techniques. Appropriate software applications for supporting OO development will be used.
On-line, telephone and email support will be provided as necessary.
Within this module you will be introduced to and/or be able to develop your:
- Intellectual skills
- Problem solving
- Personal skills for Lifelong Learning
