Lecture 30: Interview Analysis

Today's lecture is going to be in two parts. Those of you who have been following along on Twitter, would have seen that we'll have fellow student, Ian McNeill tall us about some software development he's made using what he's learnt in #ALES204. Exciting!

 This is what Ian says about his presentation:

LMS stands for "Learning Management System" and is used in one form or another by practically every company today.  LMS software has a large variety of different purposes, but they all follow the same structural format (Information presentation followed by Testing and online).  Over the last year and a half I have been making my own LMS software and you will notice much of what we learned in ALES 204 has been incorporated into the presentations!

For the second half of the class (if time permits), we'll practise analysing an interview. You will have the opportunity to find an interview related to your interest or field, and then you can analyse it using a google doc which can be found here.

Note: PLEASE make sure you *save a copy* of the google doc rather than simply writing in it! more like a workshop where you'll have most of the class to practise what we've been covering all week.
