Overview of Assessment
In order to achieve competency in this unit, you must provide:
Performance Evidence
Evidence of the ability to:
- determine the dynamic functionality and requirements of web documents
- select the appropriate language
- design web documents with embedded script
- produce dynamic web page documents
- test and debug, the web document functionality
- document and gain client approval.
Knowledge Evidence
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, you must:
- discuss the basic principles behind open platform programming
- describe client-side scripting and its application to dynamic web page design, including:
- events and event handlers
- internet operation related to servers and clients
- internet protocols
- standard generalised markup language (SGML)
- associated standards
- identify and outline, security restrictions on servers
- describe the difference between server-side and client-side scripting
- describe the standards associated with programming documentation.
Assessment Conditions
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the website technologies field of work, and include access to:
- special purpose tools
- equipment and materials
- industry software packages
- the web server
- the client requirements
- the security policy
- functionality and scope requirements.
You are advised that you are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate your assessment work to your teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
Feedback
Feedback will be provided throughout the semester in class and/or online discussions. You are encouraged to ask and answer questions during class time and online sessions so that you can obtain feedback on your understanding of the concepts and issues being discussed. Finally, you can email or arrange an appointment with your teacher to gain more feedback on your progress.
You should take note of all feedback received and use this information to improve your learning outcomes and final performance in the course.
Assessment Tasks
Please note the following two units:
COSC7367C (ICTWEB506) - Develop complex cascading style sheets
and
COSC7366C (ICTWEB411) - Produce basic client-side script for dynamic web pages
are clustered and therefore co-delivered and co-assessed holistically.
Assessment Tasks
You are required to complete two assessments.
You must successfully complete all sections of each assessment tasks to be deemed competent in this unit.
Assessment 1 - Individual Website Project
This assessment contains three parts. You are required to complete part 1 and 2 at the due date and continue working on the project and submit the final (part 3) at the nominate due date. For this assessment, you are required to design, develop and test a dynamic four-page website using the latest standards in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, based on client requirements. Your Website will be uploaded to a Web hosting server, tested against W3 standards and in different browsers.
Part 1 – HTML: Requirements Analysis, Design, Develop and Test (Due date: Refer to Teaching Schedule)
Design documents including a storyboard that outlines the project website pages. HTML code with all html structural elements, e.g. head, body, sections. All HTML pages must be validated against W3 standards and testing documentation submitted.
Part 2 – CSS: Design, Develop and Test (Due date: Refer to Teaching Schedule)
All HTML website pages must be styled with CSS accordingly to the initial design and client requirements. All CSS file(s) must be validated and testing documentation submitted.
Part 3 - JavaScript and Final Submission: Design, Develop and Test (Due date: Refer to Teaching Schedule)
A four-page website with a menu, text, images, table and forms styled with CSS. The Website must contain JavaScript functions to validate the html form. The website is required to be uploaded to a Web server, and detailed testing documentation is to be submitted.
Assessment 2 - Knowledge Review (Due date: Refer to Teaching Schedule)
For this assessment task, you are required to complete a set of online in-class open-book quiz test within the test time allowed.

Submission Requirements
Assessment tasks need to be submitted via Canvas.
You should:
- Ensure that you submit assessments on or before the due date.
- Always retain a copy of your assessment tasks (hard copy and soft copy).
- When you submit work for assessment at RMIT University you need to use a cover sheet that includes a declaration and statement of authorship. You must complete, sign and submit a cover sheet with all work you submit for assessment, whether individual or group work. On the cover sheet you declare that the work you are presenting for assessment is your own work. An assignment cover sheet for submission of work for assessment is available on Canvas.
- Each page of your assessment should include footer with your name, student number, the title of the assessment, unit code and title and page numbers. For example, Julie Macpherson, 324567, Task 2, OHS2345C Ensure safe workplace, Page 1 of 10.
Late Submission Procedures
