BBADM3 Web Apps Week 05 Class 1 A

I gave students a sample HTML exam to do in class. I offered to correct it for anyone who wanted feedback. Nobody did it.

We went over lists and tables again, but didn't do nested lists. Details of how nested lists work are in the online class. I got the feeling that most students had not yet bothered with the online classes.

CMOD6001 Week 04 Class 2

We discussed plagarism and did an exercise on it.

CMOD6001Week 04 COM Lab

Students organixed their blogs. I'm annoyed that it is taking so log for students to get organized. A task that should have taken an hour is taking weeks.

Some students are needlessly losing marks every week.

CMOD6001 DCOM/DNET Week 04 - Class 1

I was a bit annoyed because students had not completed the group tasks I set for them last week. If the approach of students does not change I will micro-manage the development of the group projects and set many mini deadlines. This will make it more difficult students to pass.

I asked groups to meet and provide me with the following
1. Group name
2. List of group members
3. Game Scenario
4. Rules for the group
5. Group blog URL


Team Actimel's scenario is a medievel themed zoo. Girls plus one is undecided. Alpha Beta is still brainstorming. Team Untitles is using a theatre. Team CSI doesn't have a scenario.



Some rule's teams decided on
1 meeting per week.
If you miss three consecutive mneetings there will be punishment. Failure to do the punishment will result in expulsion from the team and asses tothe team blog cut off.
Evicted member can rejoin group if they come up with a team song.
Every member must do fair share of work.
Missing 4 meetings results in eviction.
Meeting quorum is 2. Quorum is 3.
Minutes must be recorded.
Tasks that go 2 meetings beyond due date are reassigned.


I helped students set up group blogs.

Each group should e-mail me the URL for the group blog.

CMOD6001 Assignment 1

I was disappointed with both the quantity and quality of the submissions for Assignment 1. A lot of students did not get it in on time. If these students submit before next deadline (Monday at noon) the standard 10% penalty will be applied.

Some students who submitted on time might be better off if they re-submitted. Even with the 10% late penalty they could come out better off. This assignment required student to go find out about the various technologies required for their job. The example I went through in class made that clear. It was not enough to just plug terms into Google and copy and paste the results. Students must use their own words for assignment submissions.

Students who are re-submitting should make a new blog entry and leave the previous entry intact.

Some students did very well and I am please by that.

BBADM3 Web Apps ASSESSMENT

The short question exam will be held during Week 06. More details to follow.

BBADM3 Web Apps Week 04 Class 4 B

We looked at lists and tables in HTML.

We discussed the exam briefly.

BBADM3 Web Apps Report - ASSESSMENT ESSAY

Assessment 2 for this module is outlined in the module descriptor as:

Written Report - A report on current business Web applications - 4 - 25% - week 8

Learning Outcome 4 is
Explain the business benefits of a range of Web technologies.

This leaves a lot of scope for interesting reports. Students are free to propose report titles of their own, however they must be approved in advance. Once you have chosen a topic e-mail it to Colin for approval. Students without an approved topic by 21 October will be randomly assigned one. Reports should be at least 3000 words.

The report is due before noon on Friday 6 November 2009. Students are very welcome to submit drafts for comment in advance of this. Papers must be submitted to turnitin.com using Class ID 2932306. Enrollment password was given in class. (Hint: Hawaii)

Here is a list of possible topics I have thought of so far:

I have moved these to a more recent post for easier access

BBADM3 Web Apps Week 04 Class 4 A

I asked students to make HTML versions of their CVs.

Few did.

BBADM3 Web Apps Week 04 Class 3 B

Students asked for the class off to attend the careers fair. Seems like a good idea.

BBADM3 Web Apps Week 04 Class 2 B

I talked about blogs.

Notes

BBADM3 Web Apps Week 04 Class 2 & 3 A

I showed students where to find the online HTML classes. Students will need a thorough understanding of HTML if they are to successfully complete the project.

Although I was able to play the online classes on my machine, students were unable to do so. This is a problem.

We did a quick revision of HTML and looked at lists and tables. Students should follow up these topics using the online notes.

slides www1, www2, www3

BBADM3 Web Apps HTML Notes

I have placed some HTML notes online. Students should use these to learn the HTML required in order to successfully complete the project. (Students need not concern themselves with JavaScript code)

These online classes should play in Windows Media Player, in QuickTime, and in iTunes. They have been coded to play on iPods without any further encoding.

Interested student my learn even more HTML by taking more online classes via the iTunes Music Store. Inthe iTunes Music Store search for "Colin Manning".

CMOD6001 Week 04 - Lab DNET

Some students have still formed groups so the group exercise for todays calss was postponed.

Students should have formed groups of four by the end of the day.

One member from each group should e-mail me the name of their group, the URL for the group blog, and the names of the group members.

BBADM3 Web Apps Week 04 Class 1B

I completely forgot about this class and it was 1035 before I turned up. I am still a bit confused.

Some students had already left so we didn't do any thing new.

BBADM3 Web Apps Exam

The course schedule specifies that there is to be an exam in Week 04 worth 15%. However given the slight disruption we experienced, I think it is a bit soon just yet. I will give at least one week's notice of this exam.

BBADM3 Web Apps Week 04 Class 1 A

I gave a talk on blogs and social software notes

Students worked on their blogs and figured out how to add labels.

CMOD6001 DCOM/DNET Week 03 - Class 2

I gave out details of the project. Students formed groups and had their first brainstorming session.

By next Thursday groups should have:

• a group name


• a group blog


• minutes from today's meeting


• a scenario for the game (medievel castle / space ship / casino / underwater city /...)

CMOD6001 Week 03 - Lab DCOM

Students worked on the job & modules assignment.

CMOD6001 DCOM/DNET Week 03 - Class 1

Job exercise is due on Monday at noon. Students should check that they are correctly entered in my list of blogs.

I recommened a good book for study skills.

Class was a bit empty so we waiting until 0915 to make a start.

Handout 6. Students discussed this is groups. It sounded like students took this exercise seriously. There was some disucssion groups of the Lisbon 2 Treaty. But that's no harm either.

0920 Handout 29. Students discussed this is groups. Students took this serioulsy.

0945 Handouts 75 & 76. Students worked on these and then discussed them a bit.
