Overview
In this unit, you will develop mobile applications that respond to a defined user need, building on your knowledge of programming, user experience design and web technologies. You will examine mobile technologies and platforms, develop and optimise content, and create interfaces and navigation using cross-platform tools. You will design, implement, test and debug an interactive prototype, use feedback to improve it, and prepare supporting visual and communication materials. You will also explain your development decisions and evaluate the tools and resources used, including any generative AI assistance.
