• interaction through text
• use of interactive elements within a framework
• event handling
• handling of input from mouse, keyboard, etc
• vector-based graphics and pixel-based graphics
• animation

Teaching and working methods

The teaching takes the form of lectures, teaching sessions,
laboratory sessions and project work. The students should also study independently.

Examination

The course is examined by

• Assignments with oral presentations and written reports, grades: EC

Final grades are based on a weighing of all the assignments together.

Detailed information can be found in the study guide.

If the LiU coordinator for students with disabilities has granted a student the right to an adapted examination for a written examination in an examination hall, the student has the right to it. If the coordinator has instead recommended for the student an adapted examination or alternative form of examination, the examiner may grant this if the examiner assesses that it is possible, based on consideration of the course objectives.

Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.

Grades

Other information

Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus.

The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
