Special requirements

  • OtherDetails -

    Stable broadband connection required to access online learning materials and live chat sessions / recordings. (note: mobile broadband users may have difficulties participating in live chat sessions)

    Due to the group-work project focus in this unit students will be expected to maintain regular contact with their project group / supervisor via online chat or teleconferencing on a regular basis.

This subject is designed to provide you with hands on practical experience developing software in a project environment. You work in teams and will complete projects from inception to implementation.

This subject includes a work integrated learning (WIL) experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.

As the project teams and projects will be assigned during the first week all enrolled students are advised to engage with the degree from the beginning of week 1.

Please note: This subject is considered to be a "capstone" subject for the Bachelor of Information Technology degree in which students demonstrate their competency in a (simulated) Work Integrated Learning (WIL) environment.

All students seeking the Bachelor of Information Technology award will need to complete this subject.

  • Assignment 1 - Group Project (100%)

Textbooks are subject to change within the academic year. Students are advised to purchase their books no earlier than one to two months before the start of a subject.
