SIT120 Introduction to Responsive Web Apps
	Trimester 2, 2024
	
		Welcome
	
	
		In SIT120 students will develop foundational knowledge of and basic skills related to responsive web app design and
	
	
		development. Students will learn basic networking protocols and fundamentals for web, HTML, CSS and advanced web design frameworks such as Vue to build web apps both for desktop and mobile devices. Students will develop an
	
	
		understanding of how web infrastructure, design and programming work together, as well as learn fundamentals of responsive and progressive web design and deployment.
	
	
		This Unit Guide provides you with the key information about this unit. Please read it carefully and refer to it frequently
	
	
		throughout the study period. Your unit site also provides information about your rights and responsibilities. We will assume you have read this before the unit commences, and we expect you to refer to it throughout the study period.
	
	
		To be successful in this unit, you must:
	
	
		  read all materials in preparation for your learning activities and follow up each with further study and research on the topic
	
	
		. start your assessment tasks well ahead of the due date
	
	
		. read or listen to all feedback carefully and use it in your future work
	
	
		. attend and engage in all educator facilitated (scheduled) learning activities and other learning experiences as part of the unit design
	
	
		Details of any other teaching staff will be provided on the the unit site at the start of the trimester.
	
	
		Administrative queries
	
	
		  check-out the 'SEBE Student Hub' section on your unit site . contact your Unit Chair or Campus Leader

		About this unit
	
	
		Unit development in response to student feedback
	
	
		Every trimester, we ask students to tell us, through eVALUate, what helped and hindered their learning in each unit. You are strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback for this unit when eVALUate opens (you will be emailed a link).
	
	
		In previous versions of this unit, students have told us that these aspects of the Unit have helped them to achieve the learning outcomes:
	
	
		  Independence to create a responsive web application, interactive learning sessions using Vue framework and real- world web development experience.
	
	
		  The feedback received regarding coding and workshop tasks was very helpful when developing the project sprints.
	
	
		  Students found the weekly tasks and video resources provided were very helpful.
	
	
		. The reflections from weekly practicals tasks and project conception are two important assets.
	
	
		The following aspects of the unit have been introduced, enhanced or retained in response to feedback from students who have undertaken this unit in previous trimesters:
	
	
		·  Specific samples will be developed to assist the heterogeneity of the projects/students.
	
	
		  One to one support via Helphub and dedicated sessions to support the project progress are designed to create a more effective, engaging learning experience that promotes deep learning.
	
	
		If you have any concerns about the unit during the trimester, please contact the unit teaching team - preferably early in the trimester - so we can discuss your concerns, and make adjustments, if appropriate.
	
	
		Your Unit Learning Outcomes
	
	
		Each unit in your course is a building block towards Deakin's Graduate Learning Outcomes - not all units develop and assess every Graduate Learning Outcome (GLO).

		Assessing your achievement of the unit learning outcomes
	
	
		Hurdle requirements
	
	
		To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must meet certain milestones as part of the portfolio.
	
	
		
			
				| 
						Summary of the hurdle requirement/s
					 | 
						Rationale
					 | 
			
				| 
						1. Pass tasks
					 
						Students need to complete the units pass tasks to pass the unit.
					 
						The portfolio requires students to work through a series of
					 
						Tasks to produce a portfolio of evidence showing achievement
					 
						of the unit learning outcomes. To achieve a passing grade, students must demonstrate adequate performance in the  completion of the unit’s pass tasks, which will show the
					 
						required minimum standard.
					 
						Students will apply basic networking protocols and
					 
						fundamentals for web, HTML, CSS and advanced web design with Vue to build web apps.
					 
						Credit, Distinction, and High Distinction tasks are used to
					 
						determine higher grades, corresponding to achievement of the unit learning outcomes to a higher level.
					 | 
						The pass tasks in this unit provides students the
					 
						opportunity to develop and demonstrate the achievement of Unit Learning Outcomes at the minimum expected
					 
						standards. These tasks are included as hurdle requirements so that students are able to provide evidence of
					 
						achievement of these ULOs through their portfolio. The
					 
						portfolio artefact that they submit is used to measure their
					 
						performance against the minimum standards as well as their ability to justify the outcomes that they have
					 
						achieved through self-assessment and reflection.
					 | 
			
				| 
						2. Task Discussion
					 
						Students are required to discuss their understanding of
					 
						concepts, and demonstrate achievement of unit learning
					 
						outcomes, with the teaching team. To receive a passing grade, students must clearly communicate appropriate
					 
						understanding of the associated concepts and achievement of the associated unit learning outcomes in these task
					 
						discussions. As part of this process, the teaching team may require students to answer follow up questions for
					 
						clarifications, redo the task, and/or repeat the task discussion to satisfy this hurdle requirement.
					 
						All task discussions need to occur within the teaching period. Task discussions must be conducted face-to-face (for campus students) or via online discussions through MS Teams/Zoom   Meeting or another mechanism as determined by the Unit
					 
						Chair (for online students only). Please ensure that you are enrolled in the correct mode of study.
					 
						It is strongly recommended that tasks are submitted well
					 
						ahead of the respective deadlines, because the completion of tasks involves submitting work for assessment, responding to feedback, and discussion of the tasks with the teaching staff.
					 
						In many cases, your solutions will need to be corrected and resubmitted, potentially more than once, as part of this
					 
						process.
					 | 
						Task discussions help students to demonstrate
					 
						achievement of their unit learning outcomes, while also
					 
						helping to authenticate student learning and improve
					 
						academic integrity in the unit. The student-staff interaction during discussions will allow the teaching team to make
					 
						judgements about student learning and progress in select tasks that are representative of high-order thinking and
					 
						learning. Feedback resulting from this will help aid student  learning and provide them with additional opportunities to demonstrate achievement of unit learning outcomes.
					 | 
			
				| 
						Students are required to respond to feedback via OnTrack
					 
						comments, in a timely manner, and answer questions posed by the teaching team.
					 
						For some tasks the teaching team may require an audio or
					 
						video recording to be used to demonstrate understanding of the task and its associated concepts. In these cases, video
					 
						recording must clearly show the student talking through the concepts and responding to the questions posed by the
					 
						teaching team.
