Telematics education II: Teaching, learning and assessment at foundation level

Abstract

The newly formed Telematics Research Group in the School of Computing, Comunications Technology and Mathematics (CCTM) at London Metropolitan University is involved with delivering a number of modules at undergraduate and postgraduate level leading to BSc, BEng and MSc degrees in Electronics, Computer Networks & Communications. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to describe our successful Higher Introductory Technology and Engineering Conversion Course (HITECC), also known as the Foundation Year of the BSc (Sciences) Extended Degree programme and secondly, to outline our approach in teaching, learning and assessing telematics-related subjects at the HITECC level by describing a few specific modules.
