Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Lecture/workshop interactive opportunities to learn the underpinning theory behind successful web design (LO1,
LO2, LO3, LO4).
Hands-on laboratory-based practical sessions will be continuous formative assessment. This will help to
develop skills in web site design, construction and evaluation (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4). It will also serve to
reassure the student of ongoing progress.
The coursework will be both summative and formative, inculcating and reinforcing skills taught in the practical
sessions and putting the theory into practice.

Formative Assessment:
Hands-on laboratory-based practical sessions will be continuous formative
