Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

Design application interfaces employing user-centred techniques

Create mobile applications using modern development frameworks

Contrast mobile device architectures, interfaces and operating systems

Create mobile systems that use common middleware technology

Analyse and recommend security requirements specific to mobile applications.
