Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

The project builds on knowledge obtained in the P0 project module: Project in Conceptual design of an ICT application (Projekt i konceptuelt design af en IKT-applikation).

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

To provide the student with practical experience defining a project within the area of IT, communication and new media, which includes use of object-oriented programming, to implement the project by working in groups and to document the solution in a project report.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have knowledge about IT, communication and new media technologies in order to identify relevant contextual perspectives of a given technology
• Must have knowledge about project management in a long-term problem based project (in this case 2-3 months)
• Must have knowledge of methodological consideration to describe the theoretical and empirical foundation of the project
• Must have knowledge about how an object-oriented programming language can be used to solve a specific problem
• Must have knowledge about commonly occurring data structures and algorithms
• Must have knowledge about the implementation and use of commonly occurring data structures and abstract data types

Skills

Competences

• Must be able to take responsibility of one’s own learning during a longer-termed project period and be able to generalise the gained experiences
• Must have competencies in using object-oriented programming in solving programming tasks, especially programming tasks related to communication and new media
• Must have competences in documentation and discussion of the wider market related implications of a real-life application 

Type of instruction

Students will do their project work in groups. The groups will receive instruction and feedback from the teacher. Students have to prepare a written P1 process analysis. Students will get support to identify relevant contextual perspectives by consultancy, a group meeting, and commenting on papers and presentation at the status seminar.
