For HN and higher level units
This Unit is about applying advanced uses of a presentation package, using a range of multi-media and developing the skills to deliver effective presentations. It would be suitable for candidates involved in preparing/delivering presentations.
- This Unit is designed to provide candidates with a broad knowledge of the theoretical concepts, principles, boundaries and scope of the development of multimedia applications. The Unit adopts a structured approach to the development process from analysis of the problem and research of user needs, through design, prototyping, implementation, testing and evaluation to ensure that the selection and deployment of media types matches the task requirements, context of use and user requirements. It prepares candidates for this role by providing them with the underpinning knowledge needed to carry out this type of development effectively. Current terminology is introduced as appropriate. The Unit is primarily intended for candidates in computing or graphic design. It would also be relevant to those with appropriate work experience such as the use of desktop publishing or computer graphics packages.

This Unit is designed to enable candidates to understand traditional animation concepts and techniques applied to 2D animation on a computer screen. Candidates will have the opportunity to develop the skills to create the components for animation and create animation on screen. Candidates will have the opportunity to apply these techniques in the design and implementation of a 2D digital animation sequence.- Project management for 2nd year HND Computing: Technical Support

- This is the official microsoft courseware for teaching XNA Programming - it is tied to the book "Introduction to Programming Through Game Development Using Microsoft XNA Game Studio" by Rob Miles.
- This course is an introduction to E-Commerce, and is only available via Open Learning.
This Unit is designed to enable candidates to work with audio and video in multimedia and web development roles. The Unit prepares candidates for these roles by ensuring that the underpinning knowledge is gained to enable understanding of the basic operations involved in modern personal computer based multimedia. Practical experience is then gained of recording audio and video data from a variety of sources under varying conditions, then storing this data in a manner reflecting current industry standards. Data is manipulated in ways that reflect the normal requirements used in this sub-set of industry for inclusion in commercial multimedia products. A strong emphasis is placed on the production of content suitable for inclusion in specific briefs. This Unit is also relevant to all those on an Information Technology programme of study who require or wish to enhance their knowledge and skills to include a practical understanding of the use of audio and video in the world of Information Technology.
This Unit is designed to introduce candidates to the topics required for successful installation and maintenance of a Web Server. This Unit is primarily targeted at candidates who expect to work in a support role. The Unit is, however, relevant to candidates who will work in a web development role, as it should provide them with a better understanding and appreciation of the complexities of a web server. The candidates will develop hands on skills in installing, configuring and maintaining a web server and will gain knowledge about the theory of web server management.
- Event Driven Programming is a follow-on to Object Oriented Programming. We learn how to create Applets and Event Driven Applications in Java, incorporating GUI components, graphics, and sound.
- Materials and links for the HN unit Network Technology & Data Communications D75V 35
- Object Oriented Programming uses Java to teach Object Oriented Programming concepts. We start by covering programming fundamentals (sequence, loops, selection, arrays, methods) then move on to object oriented concepts such as classes, objects, inheritance and polymorphism.

Information and materials for HN Network Server OS DF9N 34 course. This course covers Windows Server 2003 configuration , and includes hands on work using Windows Virtual machine. Assessment is by multi-choice test and completion of an e-logbook.- Scripting for Interactivity focuses on using ActionScript 3.0 to enhance your Flash animations.
- This Graded Unit is designed to provide evidence that the candidate has achieved the following principal aims of the HNC Interactive Media.
- To develop the candidate’s knowledge and skills such as planning, analysing and synthesising.
- To develop study and research skills.
- To prepare candidates for progression to further study in Interactive Media or a related discipline.
- The Graded Unit 2 is a unit which brings together the skills learned and developed throughout the course and applies them to an individual project. This incorporates Planning, Project Managment, Systems Development, Object Oriented Design, OOP and EDP. There is also a critical evaluation report to be carried out on completion of the project.
- Information and materials for HN Routing Technology DF9Y 35 course. This course covers Routers and Wide Area Networks, and includes hands on work configuring Cisco routers. Assessment is by multi-choice test and a practical skills test.
The Graded Unit 1 is one of the 6 core units for HNC Computing. It is also core for HND Computing (Technical Support) and HND Computing (Software Development). You must pass this Unit to achieve the group award.
The Graded Unit 1 is assessed by a 3 hour, closed book exam. The topics assessed are Computer Operating Systems, Computer Architecture, and Computing: Planning.
The exam consists of two sections. Section 1 consists of 30 multiple choice questions. Section 2 consists of 7 structured response/ extended response questions.

This Unit is designed to enable candidates to develop websites using Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) (or a similar markup language). Candidates will also be introduced to insert images, create hyperlinks, and add tables and forms to webpages. Other topics introduced will include validating XHTML code, the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and website publishing.
This Unit is designed to develop a broad knowledge of the concepts, principles, boundaries and scope of software development using the C programming language.
This Unit is designed to introduce candidates to scripting for web pages. The aim of the Unit is to develop candidates’ skills in designing and building interactive web based applications while illustrating the similarities between scripting and traditional/Object Oriented Programming (OOP) languages.
This Unit is designed to enable candidates to plan for and create models for animation in a 3D software environment.
- This Unit is designed to give candidates a broad knowledge of Internet client services and the skills required to set up and provide first line support for a range of Internet client applications.
Designed to provide candidates with an understanding of current Web technologies, factors affecting Web development and an awareness of security and protection issues.
