An Assignment Weighted at 100%
The assignment will involve the creation of a digital application worth 60% of the total marks and includes an interim demonstration of the work in progress (Learning Outcomes 2 and 3). The practical work will be documented with a development report worth 40% - 2400 words (Learning Outcomes 1 and 4).

Learning material will be presented electronically each week via Blackboard. Formative and summative assessments will be used throughout the module to assess learning and to provide feedback where appropriate to develop the students learning. Email will also be used as backup support for further student feedback and advice.
