Gradert skala A - F.

The course is fully net based. The course methodology is project work and action research. The students will carry out a development project in their own environment and in collaboration with users. Regular group tutoring and moderated peer discussions will be organised on the different topics of the course. Reflection and discussion about the projects will focus on the participative aspects of the projects.

See general rules in the programme plan. Students must have the following course work requirements approved before examination. The course work requirements are organized around the project, as three individual deliveries linked to three iterations in an action research:

• Delivery 1: A sketch of the system, including a definition of the project goal, a description of user groups and user participants, and a brief description of the future system, (300-600 words)
• Delivery 2: Detailed design, including a description and evaluation of the choice of description techniques and design tools, and a description of needs and proposed solutions (450-750 words)
• Delivery 3: System prototype: a running application, accessible for co-students and supervisors

The exam is an individual written report from the project, according to given criteria. Length: 3750 words +/- 10 %.

New/postponed exam

New/postponed exam will be organized in the same way as the ordinary exam. A revised report can be submitted.

Examination support material is permitted.

The grades pass and fail will be used. See assessment criteria in the programme plan.

The evaluation will be performed by two internal examiners. An external programme supervisor is used according to OsloMet¿s guidelines to appointing and use of examiners.
