Event driven programming is a way of writing a program that works by responding to things happening (rather than executing a preplanned series of tasks). It is most often used to manage more advanced user interactions, such as GUI programs. In this session we look at how event driven programming works in Java GUIs, as both an introduction to events (using MouseListeners), and also to the way that GUI programs are constructed.
This presentation discusses the role and purpose of testing in the systems/Software Development Life Cycle. We examine the consequences of the 'cost curve' on defect removal and how agile methods can reduce its effects. We concentrate on Black Box Testing and use Equivalence Partitioning and Boundary Value Analysis to construct the smallest number of test cases, test scenarios necessary for a test plan.

Learning Services ran a short online survey in Summer 2012 to obtain staff feedback on their experience of classroom AV and/or accessing technical support over the telephone or via a call out from one of our technical teams on the Ormskirk campus. The survey also explored staff ideas for improvements to AV provision and its support. The report outlines the survey findings and describes the next steps in acting on what we have learned.

More Open Education Resources (OER) and learning environments are being created and starting to mature and there are a number of barriers to learning and creator participation. One often overlooked barrier that has been given less attention, especially within OERs, is user experience (UX). UX is the way a person feels about using a product, system or service. We are creatures with emotional needs and, in the rush to get great content open and available sometimes the usability, the wow factor and good design principles get left by the wayside. I will demonstrate ways to think about UX for your OER and learning environments and why this is an important factor in helping engage learners with our educational materials.
‘The real payoff comes when we can make that remarkability last. When we can make people continually feel our work is worthy of discussion. When—for weeks, months, maybe even years— the people who engage with our work continue to sing its praises to everybody they meet’– (Jared Spool in Walter, A. Designing for Emotion).

The Open Content Literacy Frameworks aim to support the decision-making of staff wishing to explore, create, reuse or repurpose open digital teaching and learning content.
This version of the Framework for Open Content Literacy looks at the required skills, knowledge and competencies through the 'lens' of the SCONUL 7 Pillars model of Information Literacy.
Several drivers are changing the way teachers develop, store and share their learning materials: policy, technology, Web 2.0 developments, repositories and communities of practice around open educational resources to name a few.

The Student eLearning Survey was first introduced in 2008 as a means of exploring the learner perspective of technology-enhanced learning at Edge Hill University. Key trends identified over 4 years of surveys relate to growing ownership of mobile technologies and increased use of student-owned technologies in the University's WI-FI spaces. There has been increased adoption year on year of online submission and return of student assignments. The importance students place on online submission and return has also increased.

This is one of the finest examples of a cambiata voice I have come across in recent times. Inigo Byrne was a former cathedral chorister who left the choir at the time his voice was entering the early stages of change. His singing coach for this professional recording pitched the Mozart Ave Verum, not in its normal key of D major, but a fourth down in A major. This was not a deliberate attempt to be cambiata - but simply the correct pitch to get the best from the voice. This illustrates perfectly the principle that in cambiata singing, the song must fit the voice, not the voice the song. The second extract is the opening of the Enya song May it Be from Lord of the Rings. It's included because it captures the resonance of the cambiata tone that would be missing were the singer to be struggling to retain his treble voice. It was partly on the strength of this album, My World, (Belerion label) that we chose Inigo to feature in the Boys Keep Singing film Riding the Changes.

This lecture outlines the decisions which need to be made early in a software project regrading the management of a professional sustainable software product or website. This lecture looks at the many different platforms and languages that can be used on these and outlines the differences between interpreted and "native" languages. We also outline the importance of using revision control systems properly and how these are essential for both distribution and supporting of software. Finally this lecture describes how to build a package for the Debian Linux platform.
What are Rich Apps? How can students develop their career prospects as well as develop software? This lecture describes the aims and objectives of the course, and gives an outline of the first assessment.
Three short clips in which two thirteen year old boys perform the treble duet from Greene's Lord, Let Me Know Mine End. The first is as it would have been heard at cathedral evensong. The second is the dry studio recording of the lower voice only (the "evensong" was virtual - the second voice was dubbed on and the two boys never met each other!). In this recording it is clear that the lower voice is in stage 3 of change. Although singing treble, the boy isn't really a treble any more. You can hear a clear passagio point on the E5 on the word "tell". This would be unlikely in an unchanged voice. The final clip is the folk song Waly Waly, which was recorded at the same time, but pitched down in the cambiata range. The boy (and his mother) was surprised by the resonance of the new voice that is sitting under the old treble here, but many English trebles never experience this, continuing in falsetto until they stop singing.
The first performance of this folk song is by a primary school boys' choir. The second is by trained cathedral choristers. A key point to note is that the primary school boys have unchanged voices, whereas the choristers, who on average are two years older, will have voices that have begun to change.
These are the resources used for the Computer Science course Programming Principles, designed to teach students the fundamentals of computer programming and object orientation via learning the Java language. We also touch on some software engineering basics, such as patterns, software design and testing. The course assumes no previous knowledge of programming, but there is a fairly steep learning curve, and students are encouraged to practice, practice, practice!
This is the revision session for our Programming Principles course. We take a whistle-stop tour of the topics covered in the course, look at the three pillars of object oriented programming, and look ahead to the exam.
