| Summary of Module |
|---|
|
Advanced Programming for Mobile Devices is degree-level module for the Minor in Mobile Development. It covers the development of object-oriented applications for mobile devices, with emphasis on Object Oriented Design and Develop for Android applications. The module also covers designing user-interfaces and back-end infrastructure for a range of application types, and a variety of mobile design patterns and APIs for mobile development, including:
- Object oriented design
- Application design.
- design patterns applicable to Android (Java) aand the Android SDK.
Students on this module should already have taken an Introduction to Programming for mobile devices and so there will be a focus on advanced programming structures and algorithms, and also to consider advanced design and implementation of mobile apps within the practical assessment .
This module will work to develop a number of the key 'I am UWS' Graduate Attributes to make those who complete this module:
Universal
- Critical Thinker
- Ethically-minded
- Research-minded
Work Ready
- Problem-Solver
- Effective Communicator
- Ambitious
Successful
- Autonomous
- Resilient
- Driven

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

material)
|
| Engagement Requirements |
|---|
In line with the Academic Engagement Procedure, Students are defined as academically engaged if they are regularly engaged with timetabled teaching sessions, course-related learning resources including those in the Library and on the relevant learning platform, and complete assessments and submit these on time. Please refer to the Academic Engagement Procedure at the following link: Academic engagement procedure
Where a module has Professional, Statutory or Regulatory Body requirements these will be listed here:
The student must attend all Mandatory classes.
The students must submit all assessments. |

Note(s):
- More than one assessment method can be used to assess individual learning outcomes.
-
Schools are responsible for determining student contact hours. Please refer to University Policy on contact hours (extract contained within section 10 of the Module Descriptor guidance note).
This will normally be variable across Schools, dependent on Programmes &/or Professional requirements.

| Equality and Diversity |
|---|
This module is suitable for any student. The assessment regime coordinator will be applied flexibly so that a student who can attain the practical outcomes of the module will not be disadvantaged. When a student discloses a disability, or if a tutor is concerned about a student, the tutor in consultation with the School Enabling Support co-will agree the appropriate adjustments to be made.
