2 1 Panel Report PANEL OF EXPERTS REPORT 1.1 PART I: PREAMBLE Details of Validation Event PROVIDER National College of Ireland DATE OF VISIT 1 st April 2014 PROGRAMME(S) EVALUATED PROGRAMME (S) RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL PANEL OF EXPERTS Certificate in Mobile Technologies (Level 9, 35 ECTS) Certificate in Mobile Technologies ((Level 9, 35 ECTS) Dr Dermot Douglas, Higher Education Consultant, Chair Dr Mark Dunlop, School of Computing, University of Strathclyde Mr John Dempsey, Faculty of Creative Technologies, Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology Mr Mark Deegan, School of Computing, Dublin Institute of Technology Mr Neil O Keefe, Eircom In attendance: Sinéad O Sullivan, Director of Quality Assurance & Statistical Services, NCI (Rapporteur) Summary The Expert Panel, having reviewed the documentation presented by NCI and considered the responses of the programme team during the course of the site visit; recommend approval of the following programme Certificate in Mobile Technologies with five (5) conditions and two (2) recommendations Context This validation process was undertaken with the agreement of QQI under its policy for the devolution of responsibility for validation sub processes which is outlined in Core Validation Policy & Criteria 2010, revised 2013 (p15). The devolution of responsibility for validation sub processes (DRSVP) at National College of Ireland applies to taught programmes up to level 9 of the National Framework of Qualifications that are developed and delivered solely by NCI within the jurisdiction of the Republic of Ireland. Programme disciplines are restricted to Business and Computing and programmes validated using this process are currently agreed with QQI on a case 2
3 by case basis. The validation event proceeded without receipt of a desk review report from QQI. The panel members were nominated by NCI using criteria agreed with QQI. A representative of the Quality Assurance & Statistical Services (QASS) Office co-ordinated provision of submission documentation and the validation event. It provided administrative support to the panel during the event as rapporteur. This representative was not a member of the panel nor did she take part in the deliberations of the panel. The QASS office acted as liaison between the panel and the programme team members in relation to the issuing of the panel s report and the programme team s response to that report. This report is the agreed report of the panel members. 1.2 PART II: REPORT OF PANEL OF EXPERTS Introduction The National College of Ireland (NCI) has two schools Business and Computing. Both schools provide a range of education programmes which are validated by QQI from level 5 to level 10 on the National Framework of Qualifications. The College has a diverse learner profile of approximately 3,500 learners. Of these, approximately 50% are part-time. The programme submission documents and the programme teams self-evaluation of the programmes were made available to the panel. A desk review report had not been received from QQI and was therefore not considered by the panel in its deliberations Examination of Programmes The panel met with staff of NCI involved in the design of the programme, to examine the programme submission against the criteria for the validation of programmes as stipulated by the QQI board. In this regard, the QQI s Core Validation Policy and Criteria, 2010, revised 2013 was used by the Panel. The panel was presented with extensive and comprehensive documentation. There were some technical errors in the documentation which require correction Development and publication of explicit intended learning outcomes The programme submission documents, together with the outcome of discussions with NCI staff articulated the target learners prerequisite learning and any other relevant assumptions about programme participants. The programme learning outcomes are appropriate to the level and were designed using QQI s award standards for Computing at level 9 of the National Framework of Qualifications Programme content, design and learning environment The Panel was satisfied that the programme as presented was fit for its stated purpose as a standalone minor award or as an exit award for those who fail to complete the related MSc in 3
4 Mobile Technologies or Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Mobile Technologies. The panel felt however that greater coherence would be achieved by replacing the module the Technology of the Internet of Things with the module Mobile Architecture & Security which is also to be offered on the Postgraduate Diploma /MSc in Mobile Technologies. The learning environment is appropriate to the programmes intended learning outcomes and the panel is satisfied that the module learning outcomes are aligned to the programme learning outcomes. The programme team that the panel met is competent to enable learners to achieve the intended programme learning outcomes and to assess their achievements, in accordance with QQI s Assessment and Standards The panel is satisfied that the School of Computing has sufficient resources within its current full-time and associate faculty to appropriately resource the programme. Members of the panel visited the College library which also houses Assistive Technology resources for learners, teaching spaces, hardware lab and the Cloud Competency Centre and is satisfied that these resources are appropriate to these programme and learner population. Comment on Programme Modules Research Methods The panel is satisfied that the learning outcomes, content and assessment strategy is appropriate to the programme and had no further comment. Technologies for the Internet of Things The panel is of the opinion that this module is less appropriate to the coherence of the award and should be replaced with Mobile Architecture and Security. Mobile Architecture & Security The panel is satisfied that the learning outcomes, content and assessment strategy is appropriate to the programme and had no further comment. Mobile Application Development 1 The panel is satisfied that the learning outcomes, content and assessment strategy is appropriate to the programme. In addition it recommends that the College investigates the implementation of an Apple development environment to support learners. Usability The panel is satisfied that the learning outcomes and assessment strategy is appropriate to the programme. In addition the panel is of the view that the content could be condensed and would benefit from the addition of more research led content e.g. novel interaction styles for mobile usability. The required reading list should be reviewed as it is too extensive to be achievable. Mobile Application Development 2 The panel is satisfied that the learning outcomes, content and assessment strategy is appropriate to the programme and had no further comment Enabling the achievement of the intended programme learning outcomes The panel is satisfied that learners will be able to meet the programme learning outcomes using the delivery mechanisms and patterns as described by the programme team.. 4
5 1.2.6 Actions and procedures for access, transfer and progression for learners The Panel was satisfied that the procedures for access, transfer and progression are consistent with national policy. The programme s use of ECTS (credit) and provisions for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is consistent with QQI s Assessment and Standards 2009 and with relevant national policy including: i. NQAI s Principles and Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of a National Approach to Credit in Irish Higher Education and Training 2006 ii. NQAI s Principles and Operational Guidelines for the Recognition of Prior Learning in Further and Higher Education and Training Education and training needs The panel is satisfied that this programme satisfies a current need in the Irish education market.. The programme documentation included a comprehensive analysis of the benchmarking exercise undertaken Programme viability The Panel was satisfied that the programme is consistent with the provider s mission and strategy. The panel heard the projections for student intake over a 5 year period. The panel were also presented with the information on the potential market for the programmes. Furthermore, it noted that the provider had presented a viable delivery/business-plan for the programme. This programme may be offered as a standalone award or provided as an exit award to those who fail to complete the related Postgraduate Diploma in Science or MSc in Mobile Technologies Learner Protection NCI s policy is that once a programme has commenced, the programme will be completed for all learners enrolled. NCI is currently in the process of arranging learner protection to allow learners to transfer to other institutions for all of its programmes as it was not previously subject to this legislation as a not-for-profit organisation. Until these arrangements are in place, NCI will place sufficient funds in a blocked account to allow refund of all fees as required as required by the Qualifications & Quality Assurance Act 2012, 65(4b), for each cohort of this programme submitted for validation until the cohort has completed its study programme and assessment or until such time as an agreement is made with two alternative providers to allow learners to transfer to a similar programme Assessment of learners The panel is satisfied that the learners will be appropriately assessed and underpins the achievement of the relevant standard of knowledge, skill and competence. Learners may elect to follow a 3 month research project or a 6 month industry based project. The panel is concerned that the requirement for fairness and consistency in the treatment of learners may be undermined by this approach and requires that a statement of how the programme team will ensure that all learners are treated fairly and consistently using this model. 5
6 Quality Assurance Arrangements The panel is satisfied that NCI has appropriate quality assurance arrangements in place and that no new quality assurance arrangements are required for these programmes. The documentation submitted demonstrated that the programme development followed rigorous institutional quality assurance to ensure that it conforms with strategy, stakeholders had been consulted with, had clearly identified resource requirements, and had undergone internal review prior to submission Ethics It is expected that providers will have procedures in place to ensure that any teaching and learning or research activity at any level shall be conducted in a manner that is morally and professionally ethical. The panel was satisfied that this requirement has been met in respect of the proposed programmes Programme Titles and Award Titles The Panel heard the rationale for the programme title and accepted the programme title and award as proposed as being appropriate and consistent with QQI policy for the naming of awards. 1.3 PART III: RECOMMENDATION/COMMENT FOR THE ATTENTION OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE The panel of experts recommend the validation of the following programme: NFQ Level Level 9 Programme Title Certificate in Mobile Technologies ECTS 35 ECTS Award Type Minor Award Subject to: Council s general conditions of approval Conditions C1.

9 3 Programme Team Response Validation of Certificate in Mobile Technologies (Level 9) Programme Team Response The programme team for the proposed Level 9 Certificate in Mobile Technologies programme, would like to express their appreciation of the Expert s Panel deliberations and feedback. The Level 9 Certificate in Mobile Technologies programme presented to the External Panel has undergone a set of considered amendments based on the panel s feedback and the conditions and recommendations relating to the proposed programme. Responses to each of the conditions and recommendations made by the panel follow: 3.1 Conditions C1: Corrections are made to inaccuracies in the documentation which were highlighted Response: The full document was checked for typographical and technical errors and corrections were made. C2: The specific audience for this programme should be clarified Response: The following paragraph was added in the Section 2. Introduction section. The Certificate in Mobile Technologies is a 35 credit programme which includes technical related modules from the Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Mobile technologies and MSc in Mobile Technologies programmes. The Certificate is intended as a narrowly focused programme for IT professionals/graduates that are looking to specialise their knowledge skills and competence for architecting and creating solutions for mobile devices and platforms. The Certificate is also an exit award of the Postgraduate Diploma/MSc. The following paragraph was added in the Section Employment Potential for the Programme s Graduates and in Section 2 Introduction. 9
10 The role of graduates from this programme will be primarily that of an IT professional that specialises in architecting, designing and developing and testing software solutions for the mobile platforms. C3: The module Technology of the Internet of Things should be replaced by Mobile Architecture and Security Response: The programme team has analysed this proposal and has decided to add the Mobile Architecture and Security module to the programme and take out the Technology of Internet Things. C4: Usability That the content of this module is condensed and more research led content e.g. novel interaction styles for mobile usability is added. Response: The Usability module content (7.5.3) was updated to include a topic on rresearch of a novel usability evaluation technique in a mobile context. The assessment requires students to research novel usability evaluation techniques and conduct a critical analysis on the overall process and document the research findings. An additional deliverable has also been included around the presentation featuring a problem statement and proposed solution including research proposal for a novel evaluation technique in a mobile context. C5. That the College develop a policy for the use of software collaborative tools such as github, to cover submission and assessment of code based electronic materials. Response: The programme team has discussed this condition and has decided that the GitHub collaborative tool will be used across all modules (that involve a project in the assessment) to enable students to work on projects development. It will also improve the transparency of projects for markers as it will enable them to clearly identified the 10
11 work carried out by individuals as part of the project and to ensure that all team members are pulling their own weight in the team project. The following changes were made to the document- - Section Teaching and Learning Strategies was extened (at the end) to provide details regarding the usage of colaborative tools: A number of Modules involve the development of an individual or group based project as part of the assessment. The programme team has decided the GitHub collaborative tool will be used across all modules to enable students to work on projects development. It will also improve the transparency of projects for markers as it will enable them to clearly identified the work carried out by individuals as part of the project and to ensure that all team members are pulling their own weight in the team project. - Module Teaching and Learning Strategy section, part of the module descriptor was updated for each module ( that has a project based assessment element), clearly indicating the usage of the GitHub collaborative tool Recommendations R1: That the College investigates the implementation of facilities to assist in the development of Apple OSX and IOS software. Response: The programme team has investigated implementation of facilities to assist in the development of Apple OSX and IOS software that covers native apps to hybrid apps for iphone, ipads, and imac including ios development on Windows. The environment will consist of native apps for ios, Xcode, ios Developer University Program, OS X Mavericks, mobile web apps, hybrid apps and programming on windows for ios apps. Native apps are installed through an application store (such as Google Play or Apple s App Store). They are developed specifically for one platform, and can take full advantage of all the device features they can use the camera, the GPS, the accelerometer, the compass, the list of contacts, and so on. They can also incorporate gestures, sensors, finger print recognition (either standard operating-system gestures or new, app-defined gestures). Xcode will be provided to students so that they have a complete developer toolset for building Mac, iphone, and ipad apps. The students will have the Xcode IDE, performance analysis tools, ios Simulator, and the latest OS X and ios SDKs that will help them build and test apps easily. The Apple University Program allows access to the ios SDK and testing apps on ios devices. This University Program introduces ios development into the curriculum. Mobile Web apps are run by a browser and typically written in HTML5. The curriculum will cover how to build mobile web apps that use swipe to move on to new sections of the app, access some features offline, use GPS, and the tap-to-call feature. Camera API 11
12 may also be included. The lab already have systems in place to support mobile apps development for iphone and ipads. Hybrid apps are part native apps, part web apps.they allow cross-platform development. Tools such as PhoneGap and Sencha Touch will be available to students who want to build hybrid apps for iphone and ipads which will allow them to design and code across platforms, using the power of HTML. A framework will be provided to students who are windows based developers and want to program in JavaScript, C++, or C# to develop ios apps. A sample of the more popular frameworks are Appcelerator; Xamarin; Adobe Air; Marmalade; and Unity. R2: The required reading lists should be curtailed to 2 required texts. Response: All module owners have revised the Reading List section part of the module descriptor. Only two books are now listed for each module as required reading 12
