Learning Resources
Required Resources
Students onsite must bring earphones and/or the ability to connect with the online class (laptop or tablet or mobile phone).
Students will be researching and resourcing core materials, so there is no required text.
Recommended Resources
Will be found in the Reading Room on MyUni.Online Learning
Business Data & Cyber Security is run on heutagogical principles, and is very much a research-based course, so there will be considerable online activity both in class and out.
This is a mixed cohort class. That means there will be students attending both onsite and online only (from many time zones) simultaneously. Reminder - onsite students must bring earphones to class. As classes are delivered simultaneously to students on campus in Adelaide and to students with only online access, many classes and sessions will be delivered online. On-campus students
must check schedules and watch announcements for sessions and classes when the academic will be online only and not in the classroom. On such occasions on-campus students are free to attend the online sessions in the class lab which remains reserved for the class as scheduled, or join online.
When possible, sessions will be recorded. However – occasionally recordings fail. As much of the content is acquired through team research, presentation, discussion, and sharing - for the most part, online recorded sessions will not be very satisfactory replacements for live attendance, whether on-site or online.

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
BDCS is taught in 3-hour blocks that will (when possible) be divided into 3 x 50 min sessions with 10 min breaks.
There is a significant level of peer and team interactivity and some gamification.
This is a Dual Mode class. (This means there are on-campus students and online students studying synchronously in the same - and virtual 'same' - classroom.
- If you are studying on campus, your classroom is Nexus 10, Computing Lab 207.
- If you are studying online, your classroom link is provided on the MyUni site.
- If you are studying on campus but are ill, or unavoidably detained from physical attendance, you may also join via the zoom link.
Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote a total of 48 hours per week to their studies.
飩� This means that students are expected to commit 10 - 12 hours per week to this course (including class time and the research, collaboration, online, & study time outside of your regular classes).
飩� Students are required to attend all class sessions, as live guest speakers may not always agree to be recorded for online lectures.
飩� Students are required to complete any class preparation (posted in MyUni) before the start of class.
飩� Some of this course will be in team-mode. It is recognised that outside commitments can mean that team-work is challenging in terms of compatible scheduling, but much of the teamwork can be managed online, so full participation in out-of-class teamwork is expected.Learning Activities Summary
This is currently being revised. Full details in MyUni.Specific Course Requirements
Most guest speakers will commence speaking 5 minutes after start of class session. PLEASE don't be late, but if you know in advance that you MIGHT be late (for a good reason), please contact the course coordinator in advance.
If you wish to leave your mobile phone or device on (and not on Flight Mode, Do Not Disturb, or Silent) please notify the course coordinator BEFORE class commences, with a reason (eg: sick child) for doing so.Small Group Discovery Experience
Significant teamwork is included in this course (as an essential ingredient in future workplace cybersecurity practices), but this is not officially a SGDE course. -
Assessment
The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Individuals will select a data and/or security problem to research (from a given list) and refine it. A proposal must be submitted by start of class in week 3. Once proposal is approved (or amended and approved), students conduct their individual research and build their report. The research report may be created in the student's choice of multiple media and formats. More details in MyUni.

Commencing in week one, each individual will maintain a reflective journal analysing, synthesising, and critiquing their learning, and reflecting on application to other courses and future employment. Journals must be up to date and available online for teacher feedback every week. The final, completed and collated journal of 13 entries will be submitted in the online assignment submissions site on the Monday after the last week of semester.
Submission
Assessments will be submitted through Turnitin on MyUni.
Up-t0-date weekly installments of Reflection Journals will also be available each week in class.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
