New revision aids

I have provided some additional revision aids for you.

In the Revision tab, there are two new videos.  The first is a revision overview, and the next is a review of SWOT analysis.

In the Past exam papers tab, there are answer guidelines to a past examination paper.  
Please note that these are guidelines as to what should be included, they are not complete or perfect answers!

Key points from the revision slides are highlighted below:

Week 13 - Game Theory and Augmented Reality

This week we will look at the Prisoner's Dilemma as part of Game Theory...what happens when there are competing interests?

We will also look at applications involving Augmented Reality, and how it could be used in the context of our case study.

This will be the last of our new topics.  Next week will be a revision session.
