The aim of this unit is to provide students with practical experience in applying user-centred, theory-informed and evidence-based design and implementation methodologies to a real-world interactive AI challenge. The work will be done in teams of 3-5 students.
Unit content:
Teaching will be delivered through a series of mostly synchronous sessions, including lectures, seminars, practical activities, discussion groups, team work and self-directed exercises. Compulsory training on identifying ethical issues associated to the project work will be organised by the Unit Director.
1 Summative Assessment, 100% - Coursework. This will assess all ILOs. In addition to achieving a pass overall, students must complete the ‘must-do’ ethics training in order to be awarded credit points for the unit. This training takes the form of an online introduction and test (e.g. via Blackboard) with immediate feedback and unlimited answer adjustments until sufficient proficiency is demonstrated.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. COMSM0087).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the University Workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. For appropriate assessments, if you have self-certificated your absence, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (for assessments at the end of TB1 and TB2 this is usually in the next re-assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any exceptional circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
