<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, data wranglers<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was just about to post a link to an amusing XKCD cartoon about mobile phone design<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">when I realised that the new study design seemed to lack the previous design's fanatical focus on programming for mobile devices.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">After a quick check of the new design, I can't find <i>any</i> reference to programming for mobile devices. It makes me wonder if VCAA now consider mobile devices
<i>so</i> ubiquitous that they no longer deserve to be emphasised, or ... what?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe it's just a fashion: <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- project management disappeared in the last design, now it's back (yay!) ;<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- mobile devices were trendy last time: now they're gone (yay!).<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe in the next study design we'll have our beloved flow charts or NS charts back. They have been gone too long.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Which made me wonder: which bits of the old study design do <i>
you</i> miss, and which of the new design do you welcome? Or vice versa.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
