Course content

The course covers technologies and methods used in development of web-applications. Through project work and related activities, the students will learn about architectures, languages, formats and standards for web-applications. The course is technology-oriented and it is the achieved level of knowledge and skills that is evaluated in the final assessment.

Learning outcome

Knowledge about:

  • the technological foundation for modern web-applications
  • architectures, frameworks and libraries for developing web-applications
  • programming languages relevant for web-applications
  • techniques and tools used in the development of web-solutions
  • development of dynamic, interactive web-solutions, with an emphasis on search and presentation
  • formats and technologies for management and dissemination of data and information in web-applications
  • web accessibility
  • sustainable web design

Skills in:

  • designing, developing and testing web-application
  • independent and efficient programming in languages and formats that are used

  • can contribute to group work and communicate opinions, assessments and solutions
  • is able to support the learning of others by giving feedback
  • knows of laws and rules the developers may need to consider in the development of web-based solutions

Learning methods and activities

The course is based on student active learning. Lectures are used for introductions and summaries. Students will mainly work with projects and peer assessments. Learning activities start at the beginning of the semester, and there will be no compensation for activities missed because of late registration.

Further on evaluation

Portfolio evaluation provides the basis for the final grade in the course. The portfolio includes several elements that are weighted differently:

  • Final delivery of one minor and one major development projects that are delivered in the form of code, documentation and a running prototype (count 50% in the portfolio)
  • Participation and requirements fulfillment in four underway deliveries that represents milestones in the project work (counts 30% in the portfolio)
  • Participation in peer student assessments and a report with assessments made by the student (counts 20% in the portfolio)

Both projects are groupworks. Peer student feedback is the main formative assessment during the semester. Final assessment is individual and given at the end of the semester based on the entire portfolio. The student must have submitted and received approval for elements corresponding to 50% of the portfolio to receive the final grade.

In the event of voluntary repetition, fail (F) or valid absence, the portfolio must be retaken in a semester with teaching. In this course evaluations are only held in semesters with teaching.
