3. MATTERS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES

Ms Manor Cooper advised that items 3.1 – 3.4 should be deleted as these were resolved at the previous meeting.

3.1 Management of ITC306 – Project Preparation and Professional Practice

Ms Jo Lawrence voiced her concerns regarding the logistics of managing ITC306 – Project Preparation and Professional Practice. With fifty students enrolled in the subject and doing six different majors, it was difficult for one Subject Convenor to organise, supervise and assess projects in the different majors. While happy to be Subject Convenor, Ms Lawrence sought advice on staff who had experience in the different areas and who would be able to organise, supervise and assess the students’ projects.A suggestion that Dr Glen Duncan from the School of Marketing & Management be approached to draft an IT Management project for the subject, however, Dr Duncan’s workload would have to be taken into consideration.It was agreed that Ms Lawrence hold further discussions with Dr Tanja Lang and other Course Co-ordinators and report back to the next CDC meeting.John Atkinson reported that he had investigated the number of students enrolled in each major and the results of the investigation can be viewed on the S Drive/Common/Temp Folder less than 30 days/CDC/BIT review/BIT subjects in each major for further reference.

4. REPORT FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICER

Student Workload ExpectationsDr Atkinson advised that while the ‘business’ subjects have three hours face to face teaching, all information technology and mathematics subjects have four hours face to face teaching. This has implications for the discipline and the common workload policy. The Dean’s Advisory Committee has referred the issue to the Faculty Learning and Teaching Committee.

Dr Atkinson requested the Schools to discuss the issue and provide feedback to CDC for forwarding to the Faculty Learning and Teaching Committee.

Credit for TAFE Certificate IIIFaculty policy does not allow credit for a TAFE Certificate III. A credit package for TAFE Certificate III will be prepared for recommendation to the Faculty Board.

CDC 08/03 The Faculty of Business Computing and Discipline Committee

agreed to receive the report from the Presiding Officer.

4.6 Report from Sub Dean IT Industry Programs

There was no report from the Sub Dean IT Industry Programs

5. ACCREDITATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS AT CSU

Confirmation of the level of accreditation is being sought from the Australian Computer Society (ACS) as only verbal approval has been attained. Dr Atkinson, after consultation with Associate Professor John Messing and Associate Professor Irfan Altas, advised ACS that the Industry Masters Programs are withdrawn from the accreditation application. The criteria were unacceptable and did not need the requirements of the program. The ACS website needs to be checked to ensure that correct information is provided.

6. AUSTRALIAN COMPUTER SOCIETY – UNIVERSITY COMPACT

The members requested that Dr John Atkinson seek clarification on some of the points in the “Australian Computer Society – University Compact” form and report back to the next CDC meeting.

7. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION TO THE PCR POLICY

The current Faculty Policy on Proficiency Credits (PCR) does not allow granting of PCR for any Level Three subjects. Ms Maumita Bhattacharya brought the issue to the CDC requesting it to consider a provision for “Special Considerations” to the PCR policy to avoid deserving students being disadvantaged by the Faculty Policy. It was decided that discussion should take place in the Schools and if there is a definite issue it should be brought back to the CDC. It was requested that the Faculty policy on PCR should be circulated so that this discussion can take place.


10. URGENT BUSINESS

10.1 Report from the Presiding Officer (Item 4)

Refer to Item 4

10.2 Report from 2008 Colloquium

Due to time constraints the report from 2008 Colloquium was not discussed. An extraordinary meeting of the CDC will be held to discuss the majors in the BIT.

10.3 ITC306, ITC308, ITC309 – Majors

This item was discussed in Matters Arising (Item 3.1).

10.4 Bachelor of Industry Computing (Executive Summary)

With falling enrolment numbers in the Information Technology courses at CSU, CSU has partnered with The IT Masters Pty Ltd (TITM) to develop an innovative series of courses targeted at the ICT market. With the bachelor of Industry Computing course, students will be gaining employment in the ICT industry while undertaking the course. The proposed course:

1. incorporates internationally recognised IT Industry Certifications.

2. produces work-ready students in the initial phase of the course.

3. further enhances professional competence and employment advantage for the student as they continue to study relevant topics while gaining industry experience in the final phase of the course.

There were concerns about hows HECS, Student Visa’s and Centrelink etc. would be affected by such a course.

A motion was moved and approved, in principle, by CDC for the course to be put through CASIMS after approval by APC.

10.5 Generic Structure for Bachelor of IT / Computer Science / Computer Science (Games Technology) Honours

The generic course structure was considered for three different courses, Bachelor of IT / Computer Science / Computer Science (Games Technology) Honours. However, each one of these three courses will require separate course profiles. A motion was moved and approved, on principle, by CDC for the courses to be put through CASIMS after approval by UCPC.

10.6 Credit Packages

10.6.1 Australian Institute of Commerce and Training

CDC 08/04 CDC agreed to recommend the credit package to the Faculty Board for approval.

10.1 BIT STRUCTURE REVIEW – MAJORS

Introduction: Dr John Atkinson advised the meeting that the Extraordinary Meeting was called to discuss the majors within the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) - Majors. The dilemma is how to sustain six majors in the course with the declining student numbers in the BIT.

The extraordinary meeting is conducted as an ordinary meeting with the minutes of this meeting ratified at the CDC Meeting on Friday 14 March 2008.

The main points were made at the meeting:

With the current student numbers it is difficult to sustain six (6) majors in the BIT.

BIT currently provides 1/3 of the income for the Computer Discipline.

Champions are lacking in any particular major.


Three options were considered:1. Maintain current structure2. Going back to the previous BIT structure3. Suspension of certain majors within the current BIT

The following issues will be investigated prior to the next meeting to assist the CDC in making appropriate decisions:

Dr Ken Lodge will look into the mechanism for suspending majors.

Identify the campus which would best specialise in a major and to make that major only available from that campus.

Each campus will identify majors that may be suspended on their respective campuses and report back to the next CDC meeting.

By lunchtime Friday 7 March 2008, the proposed structure for the major with 8 subjects will be forwarded to the CDC Secretary for compiling.

13. NEXT MEETING

The next meeting of the Computing Discipline Committee will be held on Friday 14 March 2008, 10-00am to 12-00pm, via videoconference.

CDC Agenda 14 March 2008 Item No 5:New and revised subjects

Subject: CDC Agenda Items for Upcoming Meeting

Hi John,

The following subjects / courses should be added to the CDC agenda for the next meeting on March 14. Unfortunately, we will not be able to meet the agenda cut-off deadline but they will be submitted via CASIMS next week. I thought it was better to advise you now so that they can still go on the main agenda.

The subjects / courses mostly concern the new Bachelor of Industry Computing Course (except ITI542, which is an IT Masters subject):

ITI111 Computer Support Technician 1ITI112 Supporting Desktop ApplicationsITI113 Deploying and Maintaining Desktop ClientsITI114 IT HelpDesksITI211 Computer Support Technician IIITI212 Career Search and CommunicationITI213 IT Project Management IntroductionITI214 Computer NetworksITI311 Project LifecyclesITI312 Enterprise SupportITI542 Securing NetworksBachelor of Industry Computing (planning and approval documents).

Thanks very much for your understanding.

Hi John, Bernadette,

Please find attached agenda items (new and revised subjects) for consideration at the next CDC. These are the documents that originally went to FCC in error. They have already been QA’d as part of the FCC process, and the necessary changes made. Because of the unconventional path these documents have taken (to the CDC via the FCC) I am unable to submit them via CASIMS; hence the reason they are included here.

The documents are:ITI526 Network Design (Existing subject with amendments proposed)

ITI527 Internetworking Expert (Proposal for new subject)ITI540 Enterprise Administration (Proposal for new subject)ITI541 Configuring Application Platforms (Proposal for new subject)

Hi John, Bernadette, (Members to receive documentation directly from Jason Howarth)There are four more late agenda items for Friday’s CDC if that is still possible:

Master of Database Design and Management Articulated SetMaster of Information Systems Security Articulated SetMaster of Systems Development Articulated SetITC543 Enterprise Design Patterns

Can these be added to the late agenda and I will distribute them with the other late agenda docs (listed below) to all CDC members today / tomorrow morning? My apologies for this late material but it is the nature of these industry courses that changes often need to be made in a hurry.

ITI111 Computer Support Technician 1ITI112 Supporting Desktop ApplicationsITI113 Deploying and Maintaining Desktop ClientsITI114 IT HelpDesksITI211 Computer Support Technician IIITI212 Career Search and CommunicationITI213 IT Project Management IntroductionITI214 Computer NetworksITI311 Project LifecyclesITI312 Enterprise SupportITI542 Securing NetworksBachelor of Industry Computing (planning and approval documents).

John: one more query. Should all these late documents be officially submitted via CASIMS or should I wait until I do QA changes after the CDC meeting before this happens?

Regards,

Jason HowarthLecturer in Information Technology

CDC Agenda 14 March 2008 Item No 7:Access to CDC Minutes

Hi Bernadette

I can’t remember exactly who had access to the CDC files however perhaps it is time to redefine the access privileges.

I have moved all of the meetings into a subdirectory called meetings and then subdirectory under these for 2007 and 2008.

The following access should occur with the CDC directory on the S-drive

1. All computing staff in the faculty should have READ access to the directory. This would include the admin support people in the respective schools and the respective Associate Deans and the Dean (no one else should have access unless they request it): S:\Academic\Business\Computing Discipline Ctte

2. The following people should have full access to the above directory and the associated sub-directories: - John Atkinson - Bernadette Curtis - Manor Cooper 3. A subdirectory should be created: S:\Academic\Business\Computing Discipline Ctte\Common

The aim of this directory will be for all CDC members to have fully access to (including the ability to add/modify /delete file and to create sub-directories. The aim of this directory is for files to be placed there for other members to have access to. For example the matters detailed at the extraordinary meeting of the CDC could be placed there (the subjects for each of the majors).


CDC Agenda 14 March 2008 Item 8:Identification of Content Overlap in ITC Subjects

From: Antolovich, MichaelSent: Thursday, 6 March 2008 10:29 AMTo: Atkinson, JohnSubject: A job for CDC?

Hi John

I know this has been a problem in the past, but is it time to sit down and do a "stock take" of subjects? It is known that there are a few subjects that overlap with other subjects (some more than others), and in this climate of subject reduction, now is as good a time as any to start looking at combining similar subjects in a sensible manner (in some cases we could possibly combine dissimilar subjects where there is some relationship and some material from both are thought to be important enough to keep). An example we discussed yesterday was a combination of ITC204 User Interface Design and Evaluation and ITC214 Database Implementation (the idea that User Interface Design could be shown via a Database). This is just an example, it would be a Discipline decision to implement this or any other combination.

Just a thought,Michael--Michael AntolovichSchool of Accounting and Computer Science Charles Sturt University Panorama Ave Bathurst NSW 2795 AUSTRALIA mailto:[email protected]+61 2 6338 4388 FAX: +61 2 6338 4649http://www.csu.edu.au/faculty/sit/mantolov/

CDC Agenda 14 March 2008, Item 9New Structure for the Online Systems Major in B Info Tech

As requested in the Extraordinary Meeting of the CDC on Monday 3 March, the IT staff at Albury met to settle on a more restrictive structure for the Online Systems major in the BInfoTech:

Online Systems

6 Core subjects (unchanged from what was the case previously):ITC206 Programming in Java 1ITC230 Introduction to Web Development ITC306 Project Preparation and Professional Practice ITC309 Software Development Project ITC332 Webserver and Site Management (old name: Site Operations for Webmasters)ITC357 Web Based Information Systems Subjects 7 and 8:ITC216 Online Multimedia(ITC333 Server Administration and Maintenance OR ITC314 Programming in Java 2)

NB Albury staff support a choice between ITC333 and ITC314 still being offered to students as many students struggle when forced into advanced programming. Both subjects are core in other majors - ITC333 in Systems Administration and ITC314 in Software Design and Development - and thus must remain on the SAL anyway.

Staff also expressed the wish that consideration be given to the continuation of a small group of IT electives, outside the four newly defined majors. These subjects would be retained ONLY if (i) there is already significant enrolment in them as service subjects from other Faculties or (ii) they can be usefully used in industry partner programs or (iii) there is a reasonable likelihood of them becoming popular "soon" (i.e. cutting edge subjects that may offer CSU a competitive advantage if a punt is made on establishing them before demand takes off).

Thanks and regards,

Jeff.

CDC Agenda 14 March 2008 Item No 11:Marketing Budget

From: Farrell, Mark Sent: Thursday, 6 March 2008 2:59 PMTo: Adams, Peter; Farrell, Maria; Farrell, Mark; Gao, Jun bin (Dr); Rose, Graeme; Greig, Megan; Jarratt, Anthony; Keogh, Deirdre; Bone, Zelma; Nathan, Padma; Burmeister, Oliver; Plummer, Kay; Petzke, SueCc: Howard, Lisa; Hicks, John; O'neill, Grant; Macklin, Robert; Wilson, Ross; Altas, Irfan; Fish, Alan; Atkinson, JohnSubject: budgetImportance: High

Dear Colleagues

I am working on the marketing budget for 2008. I have allocated funds into the following broad categories:

Postgraduate DE - $100,000 Undergraduate DE - $50,000 Undergraduate On Campus $50,000 CSU Cross Campus Open Days $10,000 Websites/Marketing Research $20,000 Various marketing activities $20,000

TOTAL $250,000

As with all budgets, there will probably be some minor adjustments as we go on.

Some activities are already underway – for example:

POSTGRADUATE

Promotional banners have been designed and are being printed for the following courses Master of Human Resource Management MBA Master of Accountancy Bachelor of Business General Faculty banner Master of Business (in progress)

The banners are to be used for taking to postgraduate fairs, conferences, etc. Banners can also be designed for other courses if the course coordinator can demonstrate that they will be using the banner at an appropriate conference/promotional event. I will leave this to you to decide how to pursue this within your own Schools. Note – the course must have a proven track record in attracting students.

MBA 1/2 page colour ad in BRW I will be in Canada next week with the Dean as part of the aim to have the MBA

approved by the Ontario Government.

The Faculty will be attending the following expos and conferences:

MBA & Postgraduate ExpoTuesday, 2 September 2008 Canberra National Convention Centre Constitution Avenue stand 1Tuesday, 9 September 2008 Adelaide Adelaide Town Hall 128 King William Street stand 26


Thursday, 11 September 2008 Brisbane Brisbane City Hall King George Square stand 7

Tuesday, 16 September 2008 Melbourne Melbourne Town HallCnr Swanston & Collins Street stand 24

Thursday, 18 September 2008 Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal Circular Quay Wharf stand 31

Australian Human Resources Institute Conference May 22/22 Melbourne Convention Centre

Human Resource WeekSydney, Perth – September

UNDERGRADUATE

Megan is working on a DVD to promote the Faculty. I have allocated $10,000 to organise and pay for a CSU Cross Campus Open

Day for those Schools that wish to undertake this.

As you can see, there is ample budget to help market our courses. This year, my preference for allocating the budget will be towards the following activities:

Online – driving prospective students to our website. Expos, conferences and other activities that involve staff meeting prospective

students face to face. Marketing research – surveys to help us understand our students and how

they view us and our courses. Marketing materials that enhance our image – banners, brochures, carrier

bags (very popular!).

I am not that keen on supporting activities involving newspaper advertising, and/or magazines (apart from when I get the ad space at cheap rates).

WHAT NEXT?

Postgraduate

There are a number of postgraduate courses in the Faculty which may be supported with funding. To be funded, I require a written ‘plan’ which details the activity and justification for the funding. Can I ask that POSTGRADUATE members of the marketing committee discuss this with the respective course coordinators in their School.

UndergraduateThere are no planned activities yet for marketing the undergraduate courses (apart from the use of online tools to generate visitors to the website). Can I ask that UNDERGRADUATE members of the marketing committee discuss this with the respective course coordinators in their School, and see what ideas and suggestions they have.. In particular, it would be useful if you can gauge what interest and enthusiasm there is for organising a Cross Campus CSU Business Day.

DEADLINE

The deadline for receipt of written requests for funding as above, is March 20th. It would be a good idea if each of you helped the course coordinators with their submission.

All the best

Mark
