HND Interactive Media - Update

Some of you have been in touch regarding to the new HND Interactive Media award - I though I'd give a brief update on where we are at with having the award coded and available to centres.

The award conditions were lifted approximately 2 weeks ago and we've been busy having new units finalised, new codes allocated to many of the units, arrangements document house-styled and all unit and group award codes added to the documentation.

This is currently with our in-house wordprocessing team and as soon as this is received (ie end of this week) we shall undertake a final proof and upload to the website.

The following new HN Units have been uploaded to the website by our web team:

F6C1 35 Self Describing Data (XML)
F6C2 35 Web Development: Dynamically Generated Content

The following Units should be avaiable for download by the end of the week:

F6BS 35 Digital Imaging: Advanced Bitmap Techniques
F6BT 35 Digital Imaging: Advanced Vector Techniques

F6JC 35 Sound and Vision for Interactivity

As soon as the remaining two units have been coded (ie HND Interactive Media: Graded Unit 2 & Designing and Developing an Interactive Product) I shall inform you of the new code for download.

If you have any questions relating to this new award then please get in touch with me direct (caroline.douglas@sqa.org.uk) and I shall be only too happy to help.
