Course Description
Web Programming Studio B is an intermediate studio-based course that focusses on the further acquisition and development of technical and professional skills for IT started in Web Programming Studio A.
The studio-based approach provides an authentic problem setting. Theory and practice are blended in the application of learning centred on the development of web applications. In this course you will develop programming principles, skills and practices for modern Web design, development and deployment, continuing the study of design, development and testing from previous courses.
These learning outcomes will be achieved by developing a medium-sized application with server-side technologies.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to Program Learning Outcomes for the following programs:
- BP162O, Bachelor of Information Technology
PLO1: Knowledge - Apply a broad and coherent set of knowledge and skills for developing user-centric computing solutions for contemporary societal challenges.
PLO2: Problem Solving - Apply systematic problem solving and decision-making methodologies to identify, design and implement computing solutions to real world problems, demonstrating the ability to work independently to self-manage processes and projects.
PLO3: Cognitive and Technical Skill - Critically analyse and evaluate user requirements and design systems employing software development tools, techniques, and emerging technologies.
PLO4: Communication - Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, employing a range of communication methods in interactions to both computing and non-computing personnel.
PLO5: Collaboration and Teamwork - Demonstrate effective teamwork and collaboration by using tools and practices to manage and meet project deliverables.
PLO6: Responsibility and Accountability - Demonstrate integrity, ethical conduct, sustainable and culturally inclusive professional standards, including First Nations knowledges and input in designing and implementing computing solutions.
On successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
CLO 1: Construct, program, access, and manipulate data through the adoption of accepted standards, mark-up languages, and client and server-side programming.
CLO2: Design and implement an interactive web site(s) ensuring a professional level of usability, accessibility and internationalisation being met.
CLO 3: Design and implement a client-server internet application that accommodates specific requirements and constraints, based on analysis, modelling or requirements specification.
CLO 4: Demonstrate skills for self-directed learning, reflection and evaluation of your own and your peers work to improve professional practice.
CLO 5: Demonstrate adherence to appropriate standards and practice of Professionalism and Ethics.
Overview of Learning Activities
This course uses highly structured learning activities to guide your learning and prepare you to complete the assessment tasks. These activities consist of both synchronous and asynchronous combination of individual, peer-supported and facilitator-guided activities, and where possible project-led, with opportunities for regular feedback.
Authentic and industry-relevant learning is critical to this course as you will be expected to critically evaluate current thinking and practice within this discipline. You will apply your thinking by producing relevant real-world assessment tasks and engage with scenarios and case studies.
Social learning is another important component and you are expected to participate in class and group activities, share drafts of work and resources and give and receive peer feedback. You will be expected to work efficiently and effectively with others to achieve outcomes greater than those that you might have achieved alone.
The learning activities enable you to understand course learning resources and apply that learning to improve your own practice, for example by producing real-world artefacts and engaging in scenarios and case studies.
Overview of Learning Resources
The learning and teaching approaches used in this program may include webinars, problem-based learning and case studies.
The activities and tasks are designed to facilitate the application of theory and encourage peer learning in a collaborative, open manner using online tools and interactive discussion forums. Assessment is integrated throughout the program to ensure that you graduate with a set of applicable skills and knowledge.
There are services available to support your learning via the RMIT University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services.
RMIT Online provides support and equal opportunities for students with a disability, long-term illness and/or mental health condition and primary carers of individuals with a disability. If you need assistance, please speak to your Program Manager or contact the Equitable Learning Services (ELS).
At RMIT you can apply for credit so your previous learning or experience counts toward your RMIT Online program. For further information on how to apply for credit, please click here.
Please view the Assessment and Assessment Flexibility Policy for further information regarding applying for an extension, special consideration, equitable assessment arrangements and supplementary assessment.
