Unit Zero – Sample Unit

An audio unit is built around a 2-3 hour recording of a live campus presentation. Although a central study activity on an audio unit will be listening to the presentation, slide by slide, there are many ways in which we hope that you will find that this experience can be even more rewarding than actually having been there:

• An audio unit provides a considerable amount of extra support material that helps to place the presentation in context and indicates opportunities for further study.
• It can be quite easy to lose track of the structure of a live presentation – an audio unit imposes structure by breaking the presentation into meaningful sections.
• Each audio unit contains information that helps you to look out for issues in advance of them being discussed during the presentation – as the presentation has already happened, you can benefit from hindsight.
• The presentation within each audio unit has been carefully edited to streamline the information flow and to remove the breaks and delays that inevitably occur when a presentation is given to a large campus audience.
• The greatest benefit of all – you can listen to the presentation at your own pace. You can stop it, play sections again, take a break, listen to it again etc.

You may find that live presentations are never quite the same again! Here is a taster from the module IC1 Security Management and the unit on Security Audit. In this short section of the unit,
