Organizations interested in designing / redesigning their web presence might consider another project-based
course called “Mobile Web Design and Development.” This course is taught in the Fall semester and emphasizes
design and user-experience. In this course, 3 to 4 small student teams work with a partner client over 6 weeks
to rapidly solidify the project vision and deliver multiple solution prototypes. The students leverage a
user-centered approach to design, capture feedback, and implement a prototype. Through this process, clients
gain clarity about the direction and priorities for their website or app interface. Engagement in this course
can serve as a great precursory step for a full-semester Spring engagement in the Information Systems
Consulting Project course.
Learning Objectives:
Design and develop responsive mobile websites/apps using HTML5,
CSS3, Javascript, and Bootstrap while adhering to effective web
design principles.
Conduct research to inform the design and development process,
focusing on user-centered design throughout.
Create and refine wireframes for desktop and mobile sites.
Understand technology and business trends in the mobile web arena.
Apply mobile-first and responsive web design principles
practically.
In this course, teams of 3-4 students will propose and develop
projects under a common theme, with guidance from instructors.
Deliverables include project proposals, wireframes, market research,
user testing evidence, presentations, and final reports. All team
members are expected to contribute to every deliverable and attend
all meetings and presentations.
All On-Campus meetings are mandatory for Community Partners.
