<p class="MsoNormal">There is some good news regarding enrolments: there has been a 28% increase in enrolments in Software Development from 2012 to 2013. While it is impossible to directly confirm a cause-and-effect relationship, I am suggesting that maybe
the mandating of programming in Unit 2, coupled with data visualisation, has inspired some students to further their interest in this area through studying Software Development. I would be particularly interested in hearing from any Software Development teachers
who have had increased enrolments in 2013 – do you know why?<u></u><u></u></p>
