- The Vice Chancellor reflects on the year's highlights including graduation ceremonies and achievements of staff and students.
- A new Vice Chancellor, Professor Peter Slee, joins the university with ambitions to engage staff, students, and alumni to shape the university's future.
- The Northern Film School becomes the first in the UK to receive industry accreditation for its filmmaking courses.
- A new partnership between the university and Leeds City Council will see the university provide additional content for the Leeds Big Screen in the city centre.
Usability, Accessibility, and Design Evaluation
The document summarizes key principles of user interface design from Donald Norman's book "The Design of Everyday Things". It states that well-designed objects are easy to understand and use as they provide visible clues to operation, while poorly designed objects can be difficult and frustrating as they provide no or false clues. The result is a world filled with user frustration.
The Use of Behavioural Economics to Encourage First-Year Completion and Reten...
This document discusses using behavioral economics to encourage first-year student completion and retention. It describes research involving 108 first-year students where certain behavioral economics techniques were tested. Three techniques that did not work to increase lab submission rates were groupwork, instructional videos, and showing an educational movie. However, increasing the number of required labs over time did seem to successfully increase submission rates, going from 76 to 91. The document concludes that behavioral economics involves harnessing herd mentality and descriptive process (DP) behaviorism to positively influence student behaviors and outcomes.
A Compendium of Creativity Tools
This document discusses creativity tools that can be used to generate novel ideas. It presents three types of tools: simple tools that are easy to learn but powerful, visual tools that use diagrams and tables, and large-scale tools to quickly create multiple prototypes. Five simple tools are described in detail: random word technique, CoRT toolkit, SWOT analysis, KWL tables, and creativity quotes. The CoRT toolkit, developed by Edward de Bono, contains 60 creativity techniques, and the document explains the PMI technique in depth.
Python: Third-Party Libraries
While Python's standard library provides many features, it does not include everything. Developers can write their own packages or use third-party packages from others. The Python Package Index (PyPI) lists available third-party packages that can be installed using the pip tool. Pip allows installation of third-party packages with a simple command to add them to the library.
Retention Of Students Enrolled
The document discusses Project ROSE, which aims to improve student retention through understanding learning styles and motivations. It analyzes the learning styles of science students using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and found that INTJ and INTP styles were most common, together making up over 35% of students. Project ROSE also tracks retention rates of students from year to year.
What does your experiment look like?
The experiment for a dissertation should take 3-5 weeks and cannot be a large software project. Key questions to address are whether international examples of the experiment have been identified, necessary contacts have been made, written agreements obtained, and clearance received if needed. One approach is suggested.

Computer Systems
A computer system consists of all the components (hardware and software)
used to execute the desires of the computer user. Hardware is the electronic phys-
ical components that can retrieve, process and store data. It is generally broken
down into five basic components:
Central Processing This is the unit where programs are executed. It
Unit (C.P.U.) consists of the control unit, which oversees the
overall operation of program execution and the
A.L.U. (Arithmetic/Logic Unit), which performs the
mathematical and comparison operations.
Main Memory The area where programs and data are stored for
use by the CPU
Secondary Storage The area where programs and data are filed (stored)
for use at a later time
Input Devices The devices used to get programs and data into the
computer (e.g., a keyboard)
Output Devices The devices used to get programs and data from the
computer (e.g., a printer)
Software consists of a sequence of instructions given to perform some pre-defined
task. These labs concentrate on the software portion of a computer system.

Examples of how instructors can involve students in co-designing their educational experience are provided, such as allowing choice in content or activities, creating accessible materials in multiple formats, and developing self-assessment tools. The goal is to incorporate student feedback to create more inclusive and engaging learning experiences.
Introduction to Microservices
The document discusses microservices, providing examples and characteristics. Microservices are small, independent services that each perform a specific task and communicate through lightweight protocols. They allow for scalability, flexibility and organic development. However, microservices also introduce more complexity, communication issues and challenges in management and testing across distributed systems. When designing microservices, the appropriate level of granularity must be determined to balance functionality and performance. [/SUMMARY]
REST and RESTful Services
Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style where resources are accessed via standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Resources can represent both concrete state like a database record or abstract state like a service element. REST services expose resources through a uniform interface and are stateless, cacheable, and layered.
Serverless Computing
This document discusses three stages of cloud adoption and serverless computing. It describes the stages as: 1) "Try It Out" where organizations migrate workloads to the cloud without significant changes, 2) "The Cloud Way" where organizations embrace cloud-native design and leverage more cloud services, and 3) "Serverless Computing" where organizations build using functions and server management is abstracted away. It outlines benefits of serverless like automatic scaling, faster deployment, and lower costs, but also weaknesses like vendor lock-in, loss of server control, and challenges with state management. The future of serverless computing is uncertain but it is likely the trend towards more abstraction and vendor control will continue.
Cloud Identity Management
This document discusses identity management and security in cloud computing. It covers key topics such as:
- Centralized identity management provides benefits like a single user identity, consistent security policies, and reduced costs.
- Authentication establishes a user's identity through credentials. Popular methods include JSON web tokens (JWTs) which use digital signatures to authenticate API requests without authenticating each one individually.
- JWTs work by having a client authenticate once to get a token, then include that token in subsequent requests to prove identity without further authentication. The token contains identity claims and is digitally signed by an authentication authority.
Containers and Docker
This document discusses containers and Docker. It begins by explaining that cloud infrastructures comprise virtual resources like compute and storage nodes that are administered through software. Docker is introduced as a standard way to package code and dependencies into portable containers that can run anywhere. Key benefits of Docker include increased efficiency, consistency, and security compared to traditional virtual machines. Some weaknesses are that Docker may not be suitable for all applications and large container management can be difficult. Interesting uses of Docker include malware analysis sandboxes, isolating Skype sessions, and managing Raspberry Pi clusters with Docker Swarm.
Introduction to Cloud Computing
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources via the internet on a pay-per-use basis. It offers several benefits including simplified customer acquisition, elastic demand that scales with usage, and utility pricing where customers only pay for what they use. However, security, lack of standardization, and unclear legal responsibilities if a provider fails present challenges. Cloud computing impacts businesses by challenging traditional IT practices and acting as either a disruptive innovation or additional outsourcing option.
Introduction to ChatGPT
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot created by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless, and honest. It uses a transformer algorithm trained on millions of text conversations to identify patterns and relationships between words. While ChatGPT appears intelligent in its responses, it does not truly understand language and can be fooled. Several tools like GPT-ZERO exist to detect ChatGPT responses with high accuracy, but its answers can be modified to evade detection. The document recommends assignment designs that require skills beyond ChatGPT's abilities, like judgment, current events, group work, or multimedia submissions.
How to Argue Logically
This document provides an introduction to argumentation and logical reasoning. It discusses how to justify beliefs by presenting evidence and explores different types of arguments. Some key points:
- Evidence such as facts, documentation, and expert testimony can be used to justify beliefs and claims. The person making a claim has the burden of proof.
- Arguments follow basic logical rules like identity, non-contradiction, and excluded middle. They involve presenting a claim, evidence for the claim, and accepting or rejecting the claim.
- Common logical fallacies that invalidate arguments are discussed, like appeals to probability, false equivalences, and slippery slopes. Different types of arguments like deductive and inductive are also introduced.
