Description The course aims to teach the essentials of mobile programming to students
who have some background on object-oriented programming. The students
will learn how to write cross-platform (iOS and Android) mobile
applications using Flutter framework in the Android Studio IDE. The course
introduces the fundamental components used in mobile programming such
as user interface components, routes and navigation, local and remote data
storage using databases, and data retrieval from the Web. The course has
both lecture and practice sessions. The lecture session covers theoretical
concepts whereas the practice sessions give students a hands-on
experience on the topics covered in the lecture sessions.
Objectives Students will be aware of requirements for developing applications for
resource-constrained and mobile devices.
Students will gain experience on using Android Studio IDE to develop
mobile applications.
Students will learn to develop fully-fledged mobile applications.
Learning Outcomes By the end of the course, the student will be able to
LO1. Identify components of a mobile application
LO2. Visualize routes in a mobile application by sketching each screen in
the application
LO3. Use Android Studio IDE to develop mobile applications
LO4. Analyze functional and non-functional requirements of a mobile
application
LO5. Debug their code to achieve bug-free applications
LO6. Create fully-fledged mobile applications
Additional Info
Requirements
Teaching Learners will be provided with as many opportunities of hands-on practice
Methodology as possible with the aim of striking a balance between learner-centeredness
and sufficient guidance. Various forms of interaction (i.e., pair work and
group work) will also be encouraged to cater for learners with different
learning styles. Additionally, individuals will be expected to produce both in-
class writings and homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks,
which will encourage them to reflect and think critically. Technology will
also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a
better learning environment.
