Learning materials and recommended literature

In this course, we are using following materials: (1) Video based tutorials (2) Teacher's own step-by-step guide (3) Laurea Library materials

The student will learn two most important aspects of Mobile Applications Development:
1) Mobile Applications Design: The structured approach and science of designing a mobile application.
2) Mobile Applications Development: Step-by-step demonstration and learning a simple and basic cross-platform mobile applications development with Ionic framework.

Alternative completion methods of implementation

There is a possibility of taking final hands-on practical test and project work to demonstrate learning outcomes. Contact teacher for more details.

Co-operation with working life and/or RDI

Laurea announces certain possibilities along the study unit offering based on demand from our partner companies.

Important dates

Students can collect points with weekly or biweekly learning activities, assignments and 2 tests.

Forms of internationality

Teachers and students group are international (Finnish and English degree programme students). We are also partnering with ICT companies for projects.

Students workload

Kindly notice following carefully before registering for the study unit. This is a technical and professional training study unit and it requires regular weekly learning effort.
5 credits | Total 137.5 hours of student learning time | 8-10 hours per week

Content and scheduling

Content:
>>Weekly or biweekly modules on Canvas
Practicalities:
o Study unit starts on week 5

# Detailed schedule is released at the beginning of the study unit
NOTE: There can be minor scheduling changes.

Also check other details here on implementation plan.

Further information for students

Prerequisite of the course (VERY IMPORTANT):
o An understanding of the Fundamentals of programming, HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript can greatly benefit your learning experience.
o We don’t recommend this course if someone lacks the know-how on programming principles, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
o We have 40 seats available, we give priority to those students with the prerequisites or ICT compulsory studies done.

NOTE: The student MUST finish their Fundamentals of programming and Web Development Foundation (or) Having equivalent knowledge to benefit from this study unit. In the past, there is not a single student who passed this course without a Prerequisite. The student cannot learn much if previous know-how is missing.
