Introduction;
Fundamental principle of rule of law is that no individual or organisation is above the law. Everyone is accountable to abiding by the rules. This is a principle that governs us at a national level but can also be seen at local levels and even within smaller groups such as at a school or within a football team. When you are abiding by the rule of law you are agreeing that you and everyone else will follow the rules of the state or institution. 

In the UK, we have a network of public services that uphold Rule of Law, including police, courts and judges.
This means that there is a clear process and procedure that any offence or grievance passes through so the law is upheld. A grievance is a dispute that an individual or group has, usually made into an official complaint.

While the police and army can be held to account by Parliament, courts operate above this to ensure even the government obeys the law. There are many levels of courts in the UK, each available to appeal decisions of the courts below them. This protects the system from error.

That means in a democracy, you have a right and responsibility to decide how your country is run, and what decisions are made. In small groups this can mean that every person has a direct part to play in all decision making. In a larger group, such as a country, it often means that the people elect representatives to speak and make decisions on their behalf.

There are many ways of ruling or governing a group of people. In general, they can all be defined as one of five types. Sometimes a system of governance will take elements from more than one of these groups to create hybrid models, such as a democratic republic.

You will learn 

  1. Explain different systems of governance
  2. Know what democracy is
  3. Understand how democracy works in the UK
  4. Know why democracy matters to you

Recent decades have seen an array of news stories where risk management failings have undermined an organisation and dented the credibility of its management. These failings have led to the demise of some companies – for example Lehman Brothers, World Com and Enron. Worse than this in many instances the failings have resulted in deaths and injuries – as with the Piper Alpha oil platform disaster in the North Sea in 1988 or the BP Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in 2010.

Successful organisations embed a culture of risk management in all areas of their activities. To achieve this requires effective and practical risk management education. The course particularly benefits all those engaged as risk managers, those seeking to develop their risk management capabilities and those, like board members, who have ultimate responsibility for risks within their organisations. Additionally all those with, or seeking, a career in management in any organisation will benefit from the understanding of risks and how to manage them.

Since the early 2000s, a new language has entered the realm of strategic management. Whereas the field used to talk primarily in terms of value propositions, generic strategies and competitive advantage, more recently, these ideas have been displaced or perhaps, absorbed, within a new language of business models.

Driven by forces such as the knowledge economy, the growth and spread of the Internet, and the emergence of new and powerful mobile technologies such as smartphones, organisations are having to rethink the way they structure their organisations, attract customers, and seek to achieve an advantage in the marketplace. This is happening at a frantic pace as long-established and previously dominant industry players are increasingly being challenged, disrupted and in many cases, beaten by small start-ups that seemingly appear out of nowhere.

In this free course, Business models in strategic management, you will be introduced to the theory and practice of business models as they have developed in strategy literature. In particular, you will explore the emergence of the business model idea, types of business models including those using the internet (e-business models) and how business models can be designed.

Inherent in this course is the idea that, despite being more frequently used in business, business models are not limited to the business context. Neither are they meant for strategic planning in organisations only. Rather they may have wider applications in our lives. For instance, you could apply them for building strategies of your professional development and career growth.


Discovering development management, features the phrase ‘good development management’. As you discover development management, you should all the time be making judgements about the ‘goodness’ – or otherwise – of the development management you encounter. ‘Good’ can be judged from a number of perspectives, including ones that are:

  • practical (How well does it work? Has it achieved what was intended?)
  • political (Who gains? Who loses?)
  • ethical (Is it right? Or wrong?).

I want you to ask, and find answers to, these sorts of questions about the ‘goodness’ of development management. This is because the ‘goodness’ – or otherwise – of development management matters. It matters, in some cases, in terms of life and death. But it matters always in terms of the wellbeing of those touched by it. So the questions are worth asking. And the quest to discover ‘good’ development management is one that is worth undertaking.

In this course, learn about prefabricated roof components

Introduction 
A timber roof truss is a structural framework designed to span the space above a room and to provide support for a roof.
Trusses occur at regular intervals, linked together with longitudinal timbers such as purlins. The space between each truss is called a bay. A truss looks like a triangle or arch which creates the profile shape of the roof. Trusses are connected together by means of bolts which are passed through toothed plates and strapped together.

The benefits of being able to standardise the qualities and features of a finished product will always maximise efficiencies in the use of materials and their costs.

You will learn 

  1. Triple roofs
  2. Trussed rafter construction

In this course, learn about flat roof structures and construction.

Introduction 

In a flat roof, the waterproofing is always supported by a structural roof deck. This is usually a timber boarding of some type, which in turn is supported on joists. The ceiling, if any, is usually fixed directly to the underside of the joists.
Garages may be un-insulated, but most roofs above the habitable part of the house are insulated to comply with Building Regulations.
In houses, the insulation is sometimes placed immediately above the ceiling (and below the roof deck), or above the roof deck (beneath the waterproof covering).

These two design options provide the basis for warm and cold roofs.

You will learn 

  1. Flat roof main elements
  2. Strength and stability
  3. Typical construction
  4. Problems with flat roofs

In this course, learn about flat roof structures and construction.

Introduction 

Flat roofs are the simplest type of roof construction and the cheapest to construct. However, these benefits also have some drawbacks, as they tend to leak and need a lot more maintenance than pitched roofs.
Despite the name, a flat roof is not flat, they are built with a slight pitch, running from the highest level, often abutting another part of the building, away to the lower end, where water run-off is collected in guttering.

The angle of a flat roof is approximately 10°and this translates into a slope ratio of approx. 1:60 to 1:80, i.e. every 60 cm of running length, the drop would be 1 cm.

You will learn 

  1. Flat roof main elements
  2. Strength and stability
  3. Typical construction
  4. Problems with flat roofs

In this course learn about understanding roof construction.

Introduction 

The climate conditions can be varied. There are four seasons which are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and each season can bring their own challenges for our roofing systems.

Most roofs are pitched because of the climate and this allows water, snow and ice to drain away. This helps to maintain the various types of roofing materials and limits the maintenance of the structure. Pitched roofs are effective and allow moisture to disperse and be taken away. Elements such as snow and rain can damage roofing materials, so the pitched roof is vital.

A roofing system is not only a way of removing unwanted snow or water but can also provide stability to a building. Later on we will look at various types of roofs and identify their pitch and shape.

A large percentage of buildings in the UK have a flat roof system. However, a flat roof system would need to be self-supporting and also be able to support any additional weight that is gained by either rain or snow. A flat roof would benefit from a slight camber e.g. up to ten degrees.

Prefabricated roof systems are ready made or in kit form, whereas traditional or modern are cut and made on-site.

You will learn 

  1. Climate and considerations
  2. Stability through structure
  3. The anatomy of a roof
  4. Types of roofing
  5. Roofing coverings
  6. Roofing components

In this course, learn about the benefits of thermal insulation and how it works in roof spaces.

Introduction 

Thermal insulation has key benefits for protecting the environment; it reduces the amount of energy used from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. For this reason, thermal insulation is an important factor in promoting sustainability.
Insulation has the greatest potential for reducing CO2 emissions. Carbon dioxide (i.e. the ‘greenhouse’ gas) is directly linked to global warming as it traps heat within the atmosphere and changes climatic temperatures across the globe.

Energy conserved through the use of insulation far outweighs the energy used in its manufacture. Only when a building achieves a ‘Low-Heat’ standard does insulation’s embodied carbon become significant.

You will learn 

In this course we look at the benefits of thermal insulation and how it works in roof spaces:

  1. Efficiency and effectiveness
  2. Insulation materials
  3. Roofs, attics and lofts
  4. Flat roofs

In this course , learn about the security risks of the internet of things.

Introduction 

The internet security is a term which describes security for transactions and all activities you make online. It is actual factor of computer security and cybersecurity, including browser security, online security and network security.

The following definitions will help during this course:

·       Hacking – the gaining of unauthorised access to data in a computer system
·       Phishing – a form of social engineering attack used to steal personal data by an attacker disguised as a trusted organisation
·       Legacy technology –  an old technology no longer supported by development
·       DDoS – Distributed Denial of Service
·       Endpoint – a remote device that communicates with a network it is connected to (such as a desktop or laptop)

·       Honeypot – a system intended to mimic likely targets of cyberattacks

You will learn 

  1. Discuss the security risks of the Internet of Things
  2. Investigate ways of securing the Internet of Things

In this course , learn about the internet of things and its purpose.

Introduction 

These definitions will help during this course:
·       RFID – Radio Frequency Identification
·       IP – Internet Protocol, a set of rules defining the format of data transferred over the internet or network
·       Broadband Internet – an internet connection with a high data transfer rate
·       Cellular Network – a radio network distributed over cells each served by a base station
·       Wireless Network – a network that uses wireless data connections between nodes

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the term applied to everything connected to the internet. It is increasingly being used to define objects that talk to each other. These devices range from sensors to smartphones and wearable technology (e.g. FitBit or Apple Watch).
The IoT enables devices on private networks to communicate with others. This in turn, creates a more connected world across multiple different network types.

In this course, introduction to 5G technologies.

Introduction 

5G is the fifth generation of mobile/cellular networks. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks and its Uup to 100 times faster than 4G. 5G is creating never-before-seen opportunities for people and businesses.  5G wireless technology delivers higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users.

In this course we will first look at some definitions associated with radio networks:
·       Electromagnetic spectrum
·       Base stations

·       Cells

The electromagnetic spectrum
Electromagnetic radiation covers a range of frequencies (spectrum) and associated wavelengths, commonly referred to as the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths than visible light.

You will learn

  1. Introduce 5G technologies
  2. Explore 5G use cases and their benefit

in this course, learn about the the fundamentals of electronic communication.

Introduction 
Sine waves are used in math and physics to represent waves. See below for some key definitions that will be used throughout the session:
Frequency (f)
·       This is the number of cycles per second measured in hertz (Hz)
·       1 Hz = 1 cycle per second
Amplitude (A)
·       The height of a cycle
Phase (Φ)
·       The relative value of a variable at a point in a cycle
Wavelength (λ)

·       The physical distance over which a cycle repeats

Relationships

The wave speed (c) of electromagnetic (EM) radiation is 300,000 km/s (the ‘speed of light’).
So, as the wave speed (c) is constant:
·       Lower frequencies always have longer wavelengths
·       Higher frequencies always have shorter wavelengths

Wave speed (c), frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) are related and can be represented by a formula triangle.
\( f= \frac{c}{ \lambda } \)
Where: c = wave speed, f = frequency and λ = wavelength
\( c \equiv f \times \lambda \)
Where: c = wave speed, f = frequency and λ = wavelength
\( \lambda \equiv \frac{c}{f} \)

Where: c = wave speed, f = frequency and λ = wavelength


In this course, learn about Industry 4.0 and Digital Transformation.

Intoduction 

The digital transformation has become very important, it is now responsible for changing industry and adapting it to a connected industry.

The following definitions will help during this session:
·       Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) – an industrial solid-state computer that makes logic-based decisions for automated processes based on monitored inputs and outputs
·       Cloud Computing – the delivery of computing services over the Internet
·       Artificial Intelligence – the ability of machines or computer systems to learn and adapt similarly to humans
  • RDA – Remote Database

Introduction 

Digital currency, or digital money, refers to a method of payment that exists only in digital form and has no physical counterpart. Cryptocurrency is a form of virtual money that is secured by using a technique called cryptography. 

Cryptography is the creation of encryption codes to allow a secure encryption between individuals, meaning that data sent between you and another individual is private. So, if you were to make a purchase using a form of cryptocurrency, the authenticity of the currency you are sending is checked to make sure it is authentic, and that currency is then sent to the seller who then also knows that payment is legitimate, without having to use a third party, such as a bank or PayPal. 

Cryptocurrency is an exclusively digital asset that can be used to pay for things, however it is not based on any actual asset, or backed by government regulation. This means that cryptocurrency is only worth what a buyer will pay for it. This causes cryptocurrencies to be unpredictable as their worth can change dramatically over a short period of time.

Introduction

A digital footprint is the name given to the trail of data and information you leave while using the Internet. This information is specific to you, and everyone who uses the Internet leaves a digital footprint of some kind.

There are two types of digital footprint:

Passive: This sort of footprint is generated by browsing the Internet, and users are often unaware data on them is being saved. Websites save information on you as cookies when you visit them; search engines store your search history, and most websites log your IP address when visiting a website. 

Active: This sort of footprint is generated when you share information online. For example, if you send an email, sign up to an online service, or post something on social media, this information can all be linked back to you.

A scam can appear in many different forms, but they are all ultimately designed to part you from your money. You may get a message via email, text or any social media messaging service, all with the intention of tricking you into giving over your details or giving the scammers money. 

Almost half of all victims of these scams are those aged 18 to 34, so it is important to remember to stay vigilant.
