Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

FEC 5/03 Reasons for ChangeThe unit will be offered in semester 2 in Malaysia. The frequency of offering has been updated to reflect this.FEC 3/03 Reasons for ChangeGCO1063 Human Communication has been a core unit in the Bachelor of Computing at Gippsland since its inception. The unit focuses on the human and organisational dimensions of communication with a specific focus on the development and maintenance of computer based information systems. It aims to develop skills in retrieving information, documenting systems for the range of personnel who interact with them, the capacity to analyse and improve personal communication strategies and approaches, and awareness of the forms, purposes and influences on effective organisational communication.This proposal serves three purposes:
  1. To enter the unit into the Avatar system.
  2. To request that the name be changed to Professional Communication as a more accurate reflection of the content and objectives of the unit. The name "Human Communication" was used to distinguish the unit from others that addressed data communications, and while this is still true, we believe that Professional Communication is now more appropriate.
  3. The third is to change its location of offering to include Malaysia, as the unit is core in the Bachelor of Information Technology.

Reasons for Change (08 Jun 2004, 12:37pm)

FEC4/04: GSCIT now has a significant cohort of international on-campus students who will commence study in semester 2. To ensure that they can progress through their program it is necessary to add an on-campus offering of the unit at Gippsland in this semester.

Commencement of the BIT in semester 2, 2004 at MUM places similar pressures on the Malaysian program, so the unit will also be offered on-campus in MUM SIT in semester 2.

As well the unit will be offered in Summer C 2004 (commencing mid September) for the CIDP students at UHK SPACE Hong Kong.
