Level 3 Team Project - Work Index Updated!

As the team have now finished all milestone presentations, I have updated both the group and my individual work indexes with .pdf versions of each slide show. In addition to the presentations, all research documentation written during the teams testing and analysis phase has also been uploaded.

The work index pages are intended to aid lecturers in reviewing and marking both our group and individual work. By creating these pages, links to all work completed can be accessed from one source making it far easier to access lots of different areas of the project.

Level 3 Team Project - Week 27

This week, the team spent time analysing our data and writing it up in a presentable format ready for the teams final milestone presentation on the 9th of December. The presentation itself was monitored by both Brian and Phil; not only being the final group presentation of this module, but the final presentation we were to perform at the University of Bolton in general.

After three extremely useful meetings with Stephen Manning, the team was able to analyse the data we'd connected from our pre and post-test questionnaires with no major problems. Using an alpha level of 0.05, team members calculated the mean of a variety of 'engagement' related questions and compared them using a student two-tail analysis method. On some occasions, the null hypothesis has rejected and on others, it had to be accepted. We did however find that, for the most part, all of the hypothesis statements we had to accept fit perfectly in line with our original project hypothesis; something we felt was a fantastic achievement.

The presentation itself was performed professionally, with team members meeting up before-hand to discuss what needs to be said and who plans on saying it. Included in the slide-show was a summary of the project, an analysis of our test process (including the questionnaires), an analysis of our collected data and also a short project conclusion. Brian and Phil seemed generally happy with the performance and had some good feedback to give after the teams twenty minute performance was over.

In the next week, I plan on helping out with the teams final group report and also plan on beginning my individual report, setting up the contents page and report abstract. By 1pm on Monday, Andrew and Amanda wish for an example of report writing to be emailed to them in preparation for the 9am meeting on Wednesday; something I will work alongside the team to achieve.

Level 3 Team Project - Data Analysis Meeting

To aid our data analysis process, team members met up with Computer Software and Development module leader Stephen Manning this week to receive advice on what data to analyse, what methods we should use to analyse it and how we should present it to peers.

During our third and final meeting with Steve, I took notes on various items discussed throughout the meeting and broke down as much of the terminology used as possible. I have decided to write-up these notes and post them here in .pdf format for the teams own benefit.
