Game Design Introduction

Financial technology (Fintech) refers to a relatively new branch of the growing and dynamic field of the banking and financial service sector. This subject covers innovations that banks and businesses can use to their advantage, including but not limited to big data analytics, artificial intelligence, robo-advising and cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Fintech equip graduates with the necessary skills to navigate the technological revolution experienced in the last decade in the financial sector.

FinTech

Explores the changes occurring in the structure and delivery of health services as a result of the digital transformation that has occurred across the industry. The subject considers the impact of such technology on consumers, communities, health professionals and health services. The subject will explore the role of data, networks, wearables and other technologies in healthcare.

Protective Security relates to security governance (including supporting a positive security culture), information security (including cyber security), personnel security (including employees and contractors) and physical security (providing a safe and secure physical environment for an organisation’s people, information and assets). This fully online subject provides you with a thorough understanding of the concepts and practical applications of Protective Security. You will gain an appreciation of the issues and elements that underlie the practice of Protective Security and draw upon theoretical concepts, real life case studies and relevant standards. This subject will provide you with the knowledge and skills to translate and communicate theoretical concepts in Protective Security into tangible outputs for industry. This subject, together with crisis management, business continuity management, and the ability to lead resilient organisations, are collectively the underpinning foundation for enhancing organisational resilience. The subject provides you with an understanding and the requisite skills that will be interrelated with these subjects should you proceed further with your postgraduate studies in organisational resilience.

Protective Security

EMT608 Teaching Digital Technologies is designed specifically for pre-service teachers undertaking a Master of Teaching. It will analyse the distinctions between Digital Literacy (previously ICT) and Digital Technologies and explore how computers can be used, with a major focus on Digital Literacy General Capability or the Digital Technologies subject of the Australian Curriculum. This subject also provides opportunities for you to demonstrate your practical applications of Digital Literacy or Digital Technologies. In addition, you will demonstrate your capacity to design good teaching and assessment strategies, and ethically apply contemporary and emerging computer technology in your professional practice.

Digital Technologies

This subject will enable students to critically evaluate the theory, practice and processes for managing data in the healthcare system. The foundations of health data, information, knowledge and wisdom will be introduced, including the concept of information architecture. Methods and the value of data analysis and interpretation are the central focus of the subject, along with an exploration of the role of data linkage. Students will have opportunities to hear from experts across Australia and participate in industry case studies and analyses.

Health Information Analysis and Improvement

Students will acquire the skills and techniques required to analyse and manage data, interpret results, and report data analysis methods and findings in a business environment. Qualitative and quantitative research approaches are examined to consider their respective contributions, discretely and in combination, to knowledge development through empirical research. The quantitative component covers basic statistical thinking and data analysis techniques.A strong emphasis will be placed on the logic underlying statistical concepts such as probability and probability distributions, normal distribution, sampling distributions, parameter estimation, and hypothesis testing. A range of data analysis techniques will also be covered, including t-test, Analysis of Variance, cross tabulation, regression, correlation, and factor analysis. There is a strong emphasis on the application of statistical techniques to practical research problems in a business context.The statistical computer package SPSS will be used for the statistical analysis of data. The qualitative component examines principles and techniques for organising, analysing and reporting qualitative data. The central principle of this component is the execution of rigorous qualitative data analysis through ‘good housekeeping’ –undertaking, recording and demonstrating careful, rational decision-making in qualitative data analysis (Marshall, 1999). Consequently, strategies for undertaking and reporting analysis of qualitative data are equally emphasised. Strategies for data analysis will include techniques for organising, searching, retrieving and interpreting qualitative data to develop and test theoretical conclusions.Strategies for reporting analytical processes will incorporate techniques for recording and describing data analysis, including the articulation of theoretical conclusions and the use of qualitative data to illustrate and support conclusions drawn. Data analysis processes will be undertaken using NVivo, a computer software program for qualitative data analysis.

Data Analysis and Management

This subject explores the information security issues arising from technology use in the health care environment. Consideration is given to legal and ethical concepts and issues, with an emphasis on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of health information. Students are provided the opportunity to apply their learning by undertaking a risk analysis and mitigation process related to the core business of a health organisation. Security standards and systems are discussed in context to protecting personal health information, including the limitations of the technology to support this.

Digital Health Privacy and Security Issues

With the explosion of technology and data in health, the field of health informatics is growing. This subject will evaluate the field of health informatics as a discipline within the health system, and appraise key principles and theories. The foundational elements of data, information, knowledge and wisdom are assessed within the healthcare context. Applicable standards and governance are introduced. This subject provides the foundation for ongoing exploration of health informatics.
