A unit of study in the
This unit aims to introduce students to a range of web technologies. It will explore the limitations and benefits of these technologies, and the processes of decision-making in web application development. The unit will focus on the practical application of technology, utilising principles of interaction and usability to inform design concepts in the development of an interactive web product. At the completion of this unit students should be able to: Investigate and articulate the strengths and weaknesses of a range of web technologies; Participate in the analysis and critique of interactive design and identify usability issues through online and in class discussions; Use fundamental principles of interaction design, web usability and design composition in the development of a design concept; Develop a thoughtful design concept and use iterative processes to refine the coherence of aesthetic, animation and audio components in response to a specific project brief; Proficiently apply a range of technologies in the development of a working interactive web product.
HDMMD121 will be delivered through a range of methods including lectures, online video tutorials and individual consultation. Students will be required to submit all work online using their OPAX web space and the Blackboard Discussion Board.
