  • Purpose and learning objectives

    The purpose of this core area is to develop students' competencies in making a qualified choice of and applying a given development environment.

    Knowledge

    The student will gain development-based knowledge and applied theory and methods:
    • in development environments
    • about the practice, methods, and systems for version control

    The student can understand and reflect on:
    • types and selection criteria for development platforms

    Skills

    The student will get the skills to:
    • master version control in a development context
    • use methods and tools for quality assurance in the development process, as well as evaluate and justify the choice of tools
    • use methods and tools within development environments to release web applications
    • communicate the choice of methodology and tools for use in the development process

    Competences

    The student will learn to:
    • methodically manage development platforms and development environments for any given task in complex development-orientated situations
    • administer development platforms and development environments in the development process of advanced web applications
    • independently engage in academic and interdisciplinary cooperation in a professional manner and assume responsibility within the framework of professional ethics in relation to development environments
    • identify and structure their own learning needs and develop their own skills and competencies in relation to web development.

  • Type of instruction
    The teaching in the Web Development Programme is a dynamic, interactive process, where the main emphasis is on student participation. The teaching is based on relevant business practice, and links theory and practice. Issues are included from the different types of companies in the IT sector. The student takes responsibility for his or her own learning, and the teachers constructively contribute to the learning process.

    To ensure the optimal academic learning and personal development for each individual student, the Web Development Programme uses varied pedagogy with the main emphasis on dialogue, discussion and projects.

    The teaching is organised so that it is varied, among other things, through class teaching, guest lectures, company visits, project work in groups and individual work – often using interdisciplinary issues and always with an application-orientated basis. The different learning formats will, in addition to the academic content, also develop the student's ability to work both independently and in collaboration with others.

    In general for all of these activities, the course of study always tries to set clear objectives for the learning activities.
