Incorporation of Enquiry-based Techniques into a Team-Based Programming Project.
This proposal is aimed at improving and developing students' planning, inquiry and presentational skills, within a team-based project. This will be achieved by re-structuring the existing framework of the module to include substantial elements of enquiry-based learning. By encouraging the students to devise their own activities, it is anticipated that they will perceive a greater sense of ‘ownership’ of the work carried out, and help lead to higher levels of achievement and enthusiasm. Another expected outcome is that the module leaders will also benefit by learning how to apply similar techniques to other areas of their teaching, where appropriate.

Second CS
The School of Computer Science will establish a private island in Second Life to create a secure space for first year CS students to collaborate. In addition to using Second Life as a rich collaboration and discussion platform, students will be able to use free materials in Second Life to learn how to build parts of the virtual environment for themselves using the Second Life scripting language.
