Skills

Specific skills

  • E4_Design, plan, edit, program and market interactive multimedia applications

  • E10_Apply processes, methods and techniques to develop creativity and innovation in audiovisual production, multimedia development and video game programming

Description

When arriving at this subject, students have worked on the concepts of basic algorithms and data structuring using markup languages ​​in previous subjects. Taking this knowledge as a basis, this subject widens the spectrum of possibilities to train the student in the production of interactive applications that use different audiovisual media to generate reactive multimedia results that can be included in different media.

Evaluation system

The final grade is the weighted sum of the grades for the following activities:

A1: Final exam (50%)

A2: Laboratory practice 1 (13%)

A3: Laboratory practice 2 (13%)

A4: Laboratory practice 3 (13%)

A5: Class 1 activity (2%)

A6: Class 2 activity (2%)

A7: Class 3 activity (2%)

A8: Class 4 activity (5%)

Considerations:

• To pass the course it is essential that the theory mark is 5 or higher.

• The retake exam only retrieves the theory note.

• It is the student's responsibility to prevent plagiarism in all its forms. In case of detecting plagiarism in any activity, regardless of its scope, it will be equivalent to having a grade of 0. In this case the teacher will communicate to the head of studies the situation so that applicable measures are taken in the matter of sanctioning regime.

• Attendance at internships is mandatory.
