Program Learning Outcomes

This course contributes to the program learning outcomes for the following program(s):

BP162O - Bachelor of Information Technology (RMITO)

PLO 1    Knowledge -- Apply a broad and coherent set of knowledge and skills for developing user-centric information technology solutions for contemporary societal challenges.
PLO 2    Problem Solving -- Apply systematic problem solving and decision-making methodologies to identify, design and implement information technology solutions to real world problems, demonstrating the ability to work independently to self-manage processes and projects.
PLO 3    Cognitive and Technical Skill -- Critically analyse and evaluate user requirements and design systems employing software development tools, techniques and emerging technologies.
PLO 6    Responsibility and Accountability -- Demonstrate integrity, ethical conduct, sustainable and culturally inclusive professional standards, including First Nations knowledges and input in designing and implementing information technology solutions. 

For more information on the program learning outcomes for your program, please see the program guide.


Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Apply comprehensive knowledge of web programming concepts and principles in web design and development
  2. Apply problem solving techniques and design algorithmic solutions for small to medium scale client-side web development problems
  3. Create and evaluate client-side web-based solutions using web development tools and emerging technologies
  4. Demonstrate contemporary industry informed professional practice and standards in designing and implementing web solutions.


Overview of Learning Activities

This course will be facilitated in a bootcamp learning style, which is a focussed mode teaching approach based around workshops over a period of 4 - 6 weeks. 

You will be actively engaged in a mix of self-directed online and timetabled, face-to-face learning activities, with self-directed learning material (online) supplemented with in class workshop sessions. 

Learner-directed hours include time spent reading and studying online materials; working through examples; and performing exercises and assignments designed by the instructors to reinforce concepts and develop practical skills across a variety of problem types.


Overview of Learning Resources

You will make extensive use of a provided online learning environment, which features curated interactive learning materials and a programming environment. You will be required to have your own personal laptop (BYOD) to access this environment in and outside of class.

You will be able to access course information and learning materials through Canvas and the RMIT Student website. Lists of relevant reference texts, resources in the library and freely accessible Internet sites will be provided. 

You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer, tutors and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.

There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
