We reflect on the success of embedding legal, social, ethical and professional issues (LSEPI) into computing courses while at the same time encouraging a "growth mindset" in our students. We review the only compulsory course for our first year comput... Read More about Constructive scaffolding for accessible PBL..

Digital Markets and UX: Case Studies in SFIA in Higher Education. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T. (2012). Digital Markets and UX: Case Studies in SFIA in Higher Education.

Two case studies are combined here, to illustrate generic challenges in embedding Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) competency statements in higher education, in particular where learners’ intended job roles lack formal codification.
