This course is a prologue to Computer System Organization. More specifically, it examines how computer systems can (or should) be organized to support, and hence make more efficient, the running of computer programs that evolve with characteristically similar information structures.

Database System and Information access

Course Number: IT2022
Credits: 3

This course covers the database systems and information access. The course will introduce the basics of database systems. In addition to the traditional relational database systems, it will also introduce briefly the new paradigm of NoSQL databases used in big data systems. The topics will cover all important aspects including normalization, query processing and transactions. It also presents students with the skills and knowledge of several technologies applicable to the general area, including  Information Retrieval, Text Mining, Machine Translation, and Text Categorisation.

System Analysis and Design

Course Number: IT2023
Credits: 3

This course introduces System analysis and design, which deal with planning the development of information systems through understanding and specifying in detail what a system should do and how the components of the system should be implemented and work together. This course deals with the concepts, skills, methodologies, techniques, tools, and perspectives essential for systems analysts. The practical component of this course is object oriented and use-case driven, requiring students to go through the steps of system analysis and design to solve a real-life business problem.

Information system in organization

Course Number: IT2024
Credits: 3

This course is concerned with these information and communication technologies (often abbreviated to ICT), shedding light on how they are understood, designed, applied and used within organisational settings, in particular in business organisations. The main focus of the course is on how we understand the potential of ICT to support organisational activities and hence how we design these technologies to achieve these goals. Further, this course discusses how different models used to analyse organisations’ activities are affecting the shape of ICT.

Human Computer Interaction

Course Number: IT2025
Credits: 3

This course is concerned with the joint performance of tasks by humans and machines. It stresses the importance of good interfaces and the relationship of interface design to effective human interaction with computers. Specifically, we concentrate on so-called interactive systems. This course uses an integrative and cross-disciplinary approach to bring together a broad variety of topics together in relation to the problem of developing quality user interaction designs to provide an introduction to the field of HCI. It focuses more on application (and less on theory) of user-centered design principles, guidelines, and evaluation. This course provides the concepts of HCI and user interfaces, focusing on user interface design, evaluation, and technologies.

Instruction Design

Course Number: IT2026
Credits: 3

This course gives a connected prologue to Instruction design models, particularly. Our instruction design training shows would-be teachers how to implement the latest best practices for Secondary and College settings in their own classrooms. Students learn to teach effectively with ICt support equipment.

Audio and Video development for Education

Course Number: IT2027
Credits: 3

This course covers topics such as Audio and video development for education. We show students how to make educational audios & videos for anyone, from toddlers, preschoolers, kids and students right up to adults.

School Curriculum

Course Number: ED2028
Credits: 3

This course introduces the fundamental concepts necessary for the school curriculum, involving designing, contend that curriculum development encompasses, how a ‘curriculum is planned, implemented and evaluated, as well as what people,processes and procedures are involved..’. Curriculum models help designers to systematically and transparently map out the rationale for the use of particular teaching, learning and assessment approaches

Science of Teaching and Learning

Course Number: ED2029
Credits: 3

This course offers a definitive, scientifically grounded guide for better teaching and learning practices. Drawing from thousands of documents and the opinions of recognized experts worldwide, it explains in straight talk the new Mind, Brain, and Education Science―a field that has grown out of the intersection of neuroscience, education, and psychology. While parents and teachers are often bombarded with promises of “a better brain,” this course distinguishes true, applicable neuroscience from the popular neuromyths that have gained currency in education

Educational Technology

Course Number: ED2030
Credits: 3

This course centers the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. It stresses the use of both physical hardware and educational theoretics. It encompasses several domains including learning theory, computer-based training, online learning, and where mobile technologies are used, m-learning.

Education Psychology

Course Number: ED2031
Credits: 3

This course focuses on the study of how individuals learn, including topics such as student outcomes, the academic process, individual differences in learning, gifted learners and various learning disabilities. The course focuses on the study of how humans learn and store knowledge, specifically in educational settings like classrooms. This process includes emotional, social, and cognitive learning processes. Some of the many areas of focus in this branch of psychology include teaching and testing methods, classroom environment, and learning, social, and behavioral problems that may impede learning.

Education Sociology

Course Number: ED2032
Credits: 3

This course presents the study of how public institutions and individual experiences affect education and its outcomes. It is mostly concerned with the public schooling systems of modern industrial societies, including the expansion of higher, further, adult, and continuing education.

School Assessment System Management

Course Number: ED2033
Credits: 3

This course introduces the students to the concept of school assessment system management. It focuses on the systematic process of documenting and using empirical data on the knowledge, skill, attitudes, and beliefs to refine programmes and improve student learning. School assessment establishes measurable and clear student learning outcomes for learning, provisioning a sufficient amount of learning opportunities to achieve these outcomes, implementing a systematic way of gathering, analyzing and interpreting evidence to determine how well student learning matches expectations, and using the collected information to inform improvement in student learning.

Data Structure and Algorithms

Course Number: IT2029
Credits: 3

This course is about data structures and algorithms. Students are going to implement the problems in any programming language they comfortable with, so the core of the algorithms can be used in C++ or Java. In the first part of the course students will learn about basic data structures such as linked lists, stacks, queues, binary search trees, heaps and some advanced ones such as AVL trees and red-black trees. The second part will be about graph algorithms such as spanning trees, shortest path algorithms and graph traversing.

Education History and Philosophy

Course Number: CS2025
Credits: 3

This course is about Education history and philosophy. Students gain a vast understanding of the social, historical, and philosophical contexts of educational policy and practice domestically and internationally.
