PURPOSE
The purpose of the project module is to introduce students to designing and constructing a web application. Focus is on both process and product in connection with the preparation. Students will work with an iterative approach to design, where we initially work with different approaches to prototyping. A prototype of a web application must be implemented through program code, and must contain a user interface, a functional layer and a database layer. The prototype must also be of a dynamic nature, where the functional layer performs calculations based on input from the user interface and the database. The prototype must be demonstrable. The case of project module specifies a number of design requirements within a given area, e.g. e-commerce.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- must be able to demonstrate knowledge of preparing a prototype for a web application that supports a specific case
- must be able to demonstrate knowledge of visual design, design of user interaction, as well as systematic prototyping and implementation
Skills
- must be able to design a running prototype
- must be able to use prototyping as a tool in connection with
the preparation and assessment of design proposals in relation to
design principles and guidelines for visual design
- must be able to work systematically with the implementation of a demonstrable prototype of a web application
Competences
- must be able to justify the choice of designs and
implementation through principles and guidelines as well as argue
for strengths and weaknesses
- must be able to organize, implement, and reflect on problem-based project work
