This module looks at mobile technologies and devices and their uses in a number of different application fields.

Within the module the technologies, standards, devices, design and user considerations for mobile applications are examined. A number of application case studies will be drawn from the fields of games, entertainment, education, commerce and life-style to clearly illustrate these topics.

A significant section of the module will be devoted to design issues, enabling students to develop experience in considering the design and user requirements for mobile applications.

On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to

• Demonstrate an understanding of the current availability and uses of mobile technologies and devices.
• Appreciate the user constraints inherent in designing applications using mobile technology.
• Critically assess design approaches for a range of mobile application areas.

Student achievement is measured by In-Course Assessment.
