The students study for three years as the computing content is combined with a year of English language study. After passing the three years study in Beijing the students graduate with a Diploma of Computing (Level 6) and they are eligible to complete the final year of the BICT at CPIT. Students’ who articulate to the BICT often require extra English tuition, find our educational model foreign and they often feel pressured by the expectations of their family in China. CPIT academic staff, who teach on the third year of the degree, have noticed a change in class dynamics as these ‘new to CPIT’ students require additional support in many cases. The students have little independent learning skills and require nurturing initially to get them comfortable with the CPIT way of life. In spite of the problems faced by the students and staff the success rate of these students is reasonably close to the success rate of other students in the final year of the BICT degree. %K Transnational Education, Off Shore Delivery, China, Education, CPIT. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Bere, B. %A Bridgeman, N. %A Quinnell, P. %D 2006 %T Face-to-Face versus Virtual: NZ Software Project Managers’ perceptions of risk %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 16-28 %@ ISSN 1176-8054 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 &K Software risk management, Software Project Manager, Face-to-face, Virtual. %X Risk management is important in achieving successful project outcomes. This research explores Software Project Managers perceptions of risk in face-to-face and virtual settings in order to draw conclusions on whether or not project setting has an impact on software project risk profile. A list of risk factors is compiled from risk management literature for use in asking SPMs to indicate how they would perceive the given risks in face-to-face and virtual settings. Specific information is sought regarding most likely risks, risk probability of occurrence, risk impact and difficulty and complexity of project management processes in either setting. Risk impact-probability metrics are used to show the differences and similarities in risk importance between the two settings. The results suggest that even though most of what can go wrong in face-to face settings can also go wrong in virtual settings there are important differences in likely risk events between the two settings. Of major importance is the result that there are significant differences in risk probability and risk impact between the two settings. Another finding is that risk management processes are perceived to be different between face–to-face settings and virtual settings. the comparative differences in risk components and management process strongly suggest that project setting has an impact on software project risk. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Bremer, D. %D 2006 %T Teaching an Experiential and Technical Course via Distance Delivery %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 29-32 %@ ISSN 1176-8055 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %+ daveb@tekotago.ac.nz %X This paper describes the experience of delivering a course on Operating Systems in a distance education environment.

This paper looks at the rise of the paper mills on the Internet that produce academic essays and dissertations on demand and thereby provide an easy path to success for any student willing to pay the price. Current responses include honour systems and bureaucratic activity that disguises ineffectiveness. The surrounding societal prevalence of cheating in journalism and sport is considered. This, along with academic pressures, provides a ready market and toleration for such paper mills. Some popular in-class responses to plagiarism are enumerated including insisting that plagiarism is a violation of an academic moral code. The rise of plagiarism checking services like turnitin.com has provided teachers with an important tool to defeat plagiarism.

The modelling framework utilises Monte Carlo simulation to compute the propagation of uncertainty in estimates towards the total project uncertainty and therefore gives a project manager the means to make informed decisions throughout the project life. The framework also provides a mechanism for accumulating project knowledge through the use of a historical database, allowing effort estimates to be informed by, or indeed based upon, the outcome of previous projects. %K Software project management, cost and effort estimation. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Corich, S. %D 2006 %T The case for an ITP Collaborative Computing Degree %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 60-66 %@ ISSN 1176-8060 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %X This paper is a positional paper that revisits the case for a national computing degree and investigates if changes in the tertiary educational sector in New Zealand may have created an environment where polytechnics and institutes of technology could work together to develop and introduce a collaborative computing degree. The paper describes previous attempts to engender support for a national degree and describes the significant changes in the tertiary sector that have seen the government move from encouraging competition to emphasising the need for collaboration between institutes. At the same time the number of students seeking computing training has fallen dramatically, leaving tertiary institutes looking for new ways to attract prospective students into their computing courses. For the first time the national degree concept appears to have the support of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications (NACCQ). The paper describes how the NACCQ executive has sought the support of the Institute of Technology and Polytechnics of New Zealand (ITPNZ) to sponsor the development of a business plan leading to the establishment of a national degree.

A phenomenographic analysis of the interview transcripts identified four categories of how students experienced Unix. One of the categories is Unix as a resource, in which the student focuses on characteristics of Unix such as its cost, vulnerability to attack, robustness, and load capacity. The other three categories focus on the direct user experience of Unix. These three categories form an outcome space that is linear and hierarchical. Those three categories are, from lowest to highest: Unix as a set of commands, Unix as a tool for solving certain problems, and Unix as a professional computing environment. For this outcome space, there are indications of a direct relationship between the category most prominently manifested in each student’s interview transcript and the student’s final mark in the Unix course. There are also indications of a similar relationship between the outcome space and the student’s performance on the R-SPQ-2F test for deep and surface learning. %K Computing education, Phenomenography, Deep and Surface Learning, Unix. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Dunayev, A. %A Paynter, J. %D 2006 %T Towards Online Local Government Elections %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 79-88 %@ ISSN 1176-8063 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %X Local governments around the world are already providing services to the public through the Internet. These range from rate information to payment of traffic fines and tourism promotion. Overall, the provision of online services is collectively referred to as ‘e-local government’. The purpose of e-local government initiatives is to increase the availability of government to its citizens, provide better services and enhance participation in local democracy. The last of these categories, increasing participation in local democracy through e-government, is the domain of online elections. The primary goal of this study was to determine the current progress towards online local elections in New Zealand. We developed and used automated content categorisation software to analyse local government body web sites. The results of our content analysis over 78 local government bodies were then compared with other research in the area and local government online election strategy. Our findings showed that over a quarter of local government bodies do not provide any election-related information through their web site. The remainder of the sites offer varying levels of election-related content quality in four main categories – general election information, candidate nomination information, voter registration and election results. We discovered that to date none of the New Zealand local councils offer online voting services and on average, local government web sites offer a low quality of election-related content. A number of “best-of-breed” sites that could serve as an example for local councils wishing to improve upon the quality of their offerings are identified and described. %K Local Government, Electronic Elections, e- Government. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Edmundson, C. %D 2006 %T A Tutoring Quality Program for a Department of Computer Science %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 89-96 %@ ISSN 1176-8064 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %X Tutoring (small group teaching) is an important part of computing education at many universities. The quality of the tutoring experience may have a significant impact on the future for both tutors and students. This paper describes a Tutoring Quality Program that aims to ensure high-quality tutoring in a Department of Computer Science.

Many schools find it difficult to provide and staff innovative and challenging ICT programmes. Students are often unaware of the extent and variation in the field of IT and that IT is primarily a creative problem solving exercise. Students are often uninformed of the range of IT programmes offered by tertiary providers or the potential variety of positions that are available in the IT industry. These issues are exacerbated in rural school communities. All tertiary IT providers report falling rolls, and recognise the need to attract more school leavers into our programmes. This paper outlines and reviews a six-day holiday course run in 2005 by Otago Polytechnic for ICT-talented secondary school students from rural Otago and Southland schools. The approach presented increases the interactions and connections between schools and tertiary providers to their mutual benefit. %K Computing education, tertiary, high school, outreach programmes. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Gibson, A. %A Nesbit, T. %D 2006 %T Belbin Team Roles, Organisational Patterns and eLearning: a Case Study %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 103-108 %@ ISSN 1176-8066 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %X In 2004 Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT) embarked on a project to develop eLearning content for a number of modules from the Certificate in Computing (CIC) that is overseen by the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications The purpose of this paper is to describe the process that was used to manage the development team and the key issues that arose, how Belbin Team Roles as described in Belbin (1981) could have been applied at the inception of the project, and how the use of organisational patterns as described in Coplien and Harrison (2005) could have been applied in making decisions about how the team would function.

But is it a pedagogically robust form of credentialing? Does it have value to those who hold such certifications and to the industry they represent? A current study using both phenomenography and Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) suggests that, if well designed and well administered, such certifications are indeed pedagogically sound, with significant value. It is therefore argued that such a credentialing system can be used for teachers and analysts of SoDIS (Software Development Impact Statements). %K Computing education, industry certification, professional certification, interpretive phenomenology, IPA, phenomenography, SoDIS. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Holt, A. %D 2006 %T An Analysis of Negative Marking in Multiple-Choice Assessment %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 115-118 %@ ISSN 1176-8068 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %X This paper examines guessing strategies in multiplechoice assessments. It first looks at the likelihood of achieving a pass score given that the student has no knowledge of the subject area and adopts a pure guessing strategy. Then an analysis of negative marking schemes, as a means of discouraging guessing, is presented and used in order to examine the trade-offs between taking a geuss and not answering a question. The analysis shows that with a negative marking scheme the benefits/detriments of guessing depend upon the severity of the penalty of an incorrect answer relative to level of reward for a correct answer and the number options from which the students have to choose. From this analysis it is possible to calibrate the marking scheme and establish fair penalties. %K Multiple-choice assessment, negative marking, guessing strategies. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Howard, J. %A Atkins, C. %D 2006 %T Where have all the students gone?

In 2004 tertiary IT enrolments were at their lowest in 15 years and it has been estimated that almost half of IT tertiary students drop out in the first year. This appears to be part of a global trend and anecdotal evidence and common sense suggests that the lack of a consistent IT curriculum in secondary schools could be a major contributor to this problem. This research set out to explore the teaching of ICT in New Zealand schools. 312 secondary schools and their IT teachers were surveyed in 2005. While the response rate was not high, the results suggest that the absence of a common, nationally recognised definition of IT in secondary schools, exacerbated by the lack of a national IT curriculum, has resulted in confusion for staff and students, a lack of consistent standards, and the absence of a recognised pathway to tertiary study. The results also suggest that IT is not valued in schools as a legitimate, academic subject and that the majority of secondary IT teachers do not have any formal IT qualification. Intended to complement work being undertaken by the FIT initiative, this research appears to support some of the current anecdotal evidence and highlights some particular areas that need addressing. %K Computing education, secondary education, information technology, curriculum development. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Hu, M.J. %D 2006 %T Component Programming %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 127-133 %@ ISSN 1176-8070 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %X This paper discusses the possibility of teaching component programming after introducing objectoriented programming at a tertiary level.

The new method utilises a time delay between students seeing the questions and when they are given the answers to choose from. During this period, students are encouraged to answer the question, as if they were attempting a constructed-response test. We argue that this modified test improves the ability of students to express their knowledge of the subject compared with a standard MCQ test. This is achieved while keeping the advantages of MCQ tests (e.g. efficient marking) that have made them a popular method of assessment. The details of how the enhanced MCQ assessment is to be delivered are explained, along with a description of the proposed qualitative and quantitative analysis of results. %0 Conference Proceedings %A Joyce, D. %D 2006 %T Taking Computing Professionals Beyond the Bachelor’s Degree %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 139-142 %@ ISSN 1176-8072 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %0 Conference Proceedings %A Latu, S. %A Dacey, S. %D 2006 %T LIS and Customary Land Tenure: The Tongan approach %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 143-150 %@ ISSN 1176-8073 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %0 Conference Proceedings %A Limbu, D. %A Pears, R. %A Connor, A. %A MacDonell, S. %D 2006 %T Contextual and Concept-Based Interactive Query Expansion %E Mann, S. %E Bridgeman, N. %B 19th Annual Conference of the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications %C Wellington, New Zealand %I NACCQ in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE %P 151-155 %@ ISSN 1176-8074 %U www.naccq.ac.nz %8 7th-10th July 2006 %0 Conference Proceedings %A Lopez, M. %A Mann, S. %A Peppiatt.
