On campus, OCL, flexible

The theory covered in this unit requires a deal of immediate application to enable effective learning. The main teaching strategy will be to cover the material in lectures followed by laboratory sessions which will give hands on practice in applying the concepts. Students will gain experience in web page construction in XHTML, and in particular, ASP.NET programming.

Key to this strategy is a comprehensive web site containing detailed teaching materials, along with extensive examples and tutorial exercises.

OCL and flexible mode students will have access to the Walkabout Learning Environment providing content notes, pre-recorded lectures, exercises and quizzes. On-line live audio help sessions are also employed. On campus help sessions will also be offered to flexible students.

Lectures: The lectures will provide the theoretical base for the subject by introducing the main topics, providing students with an understanding of the principles underlying the unit. The lectures will address the knowledge and understanding requirements of objectives 1 to 4. The lectures will be given within the context of the "computing professional" to address objective 5, emphasising the attitudes ethical principles appropriate to the computing professional. (such as copyright considerations).

Tutorials: Tutorials in computer laboratories will give students the opportunity to develop their understanding and skills through exercises in XHTML, and particularly in ASP.NET programming, and web site design methods (skills component in objectives 3 and 4).

OCL and flexible students will use pre-recorded lectures, and develop their practical skills using the exercises. Solutions are provided. OCL and flexible mode students will also undertake the practical work.

The assessment has three components: Unit participation: 5%;Practical Work: 35%; Final Examination: 60%. Students must gain a satisfactory result in both the practical work and the exam to gain a pass in the unit.

The practical work will require the development of commercial web sitees utilising various features of the ASP.Net development system. The unit participation consists of some small exercises throughout the semester, to encourage student participation in the unit

The assignments will test students' mastery of the various skills needed to design and develop web based applications, to write scripts to display data, to accept and validate user input, to interact with external data stores such as XML files and to teach students to conceptualise web applications development around server and user controls, and the requirements of sound object oriented programming principles (objectives 2, 3 and 4) . A professional approach (e.g. in copyright requirements) will be required (objective 5).

The final examination will test the underlying concepts of objectives 1 to 4, and will also require students to demonstrate adequate mastery of some of the associated skills, in manipulating code for web based applications for example.

OCL and flexible mode students will undergo the same assessment as on campus students.

Students, are expected to spend an average of 12 hours per week on this unit. The breakdown of time is as follows. Two hours per week: topic material coverage (lecture attendance either on campus or on line lecture). Two hours per week: tutorial session (either on campus or on line help session and or on campus help session). Eight hours per week: private study to review topic materials, explore supplementary unit resources and complete practical work and assignments.
