Objetivos

• Installing: implement, test and debug programs applications for mobile devices, built using cross-platforms.


• Programming Model for Mobile Devices and Development System for Mobile Platforms: understand and know how to use the available programming models and the main development platforms for native, hybrid and cross-platforms mobile applications.


• User Interfaces : evaluate the design decisions in the development of applications for mobile devices.


• Using Sensors: describe the mode of operation of the most common sensors present in mobile devices, understand their API model and main applications.


• Geo-referencing: Understand what is the best strategy when choosing the maps API. Understand the API model for GPS on mobile devices.


• Data Persistence: understand the mode of operation of the various ways of storing data.


• Apply Mobile Computing concepts to societal or business problems: interact with companies and experts to create a useful mobile product.


• Apply a project-based learning approach: the Demola approach to learning will be used along the course

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

Incorporating the Demola method into a Master's course isn't just about teaching; it's about creating an environment where innovation flourishes, where students are empowered to become change-makers, and where education transcends the confines of the classroom.

In today's fast-paced and dynamic world, Master's graduates need more than just theoretical knowledge; they need the ability to adapt, innovate, and drive change. By integrating the Demola method, Master's courses can offer a unique and invaluable educational experience that equips students with the skills and mindset to thrive in the innovation-driven landscape of the 21st century.

In conclusion, the integration of the Demola method into this Master's course represents a forward-thinking approach to education. It nurtures innovation, prepares students for real-world challenges, and empowers them to become the innovators and leaders of tomorrow.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

In distributed assesment method, the evaluation is composed of 5 components

1. Demola Project Assessment (25%)
- Problem Understanding and Ideation (5%)
- Prototype Development (10%)
- Testing and Validation (5%)
- Final Presentation (5%)

2. Individual Learning Assessment (30%)
- Dart and Flutter Proficiency (10%)
- App State Management (5%)
- Utilization of Flutter Libraries (15%)

3. Collaboration and Teamwork (15%)
- Teamwork (5%)
- Professionalism (5%)
- Reflection (5%)

4. Final Mobile App Project (20%)
- App Development (10%)
- Presentation (10%)

5. Participation and Attendance (10%)
- Active Participation (5%)
- Attendance (5%)

For the Individual Assessment of Learning component, the minimum mark is 8/20. The minimum final mark is 10.

---

If the student does not complete the continuous assessment, the assessment is carried out by exam and practical project (normal, second and special periods). The final mark is calculated as follows: Final mark = 50% exam + 50% practical project. The minimum final mark is 10.

Melhoria de classificação

Only the practical work component is subject to improvement.
