Students will be required to design, implement and test a web application (Learning Outcomes 1 and 3). The practical work will be assessed in a demonstration / presentation of 15 minutes duration. To accompany the practical work students will also write two report sections. A report on the use of web methodologies given the context of their implementation (Learning Outcome 4) being 1000 words in length, and a second report section (2000 words) will be based on suitable server side technologies that could be used in the given assignment context (Learning Outcome 2).

The learning strategy for the module is 13 hours of lectures presenting key topics and concepts, and 26 hours of supervised practical sessions to work on formative exercises. The practical sessions will also be used to provide the student with opportunity to show their assignment for progress feedback and ask any questions they have related to it.
