Advanced Studies in Programming (5 cr)

Objective

The student will be able to identify the most common programming tools used to develop XR applications and to select the most appropriate tools for the purpose. The student is able to implement demanding functionalities in XR applications using programming tools.

Content

During the course, the student expands their programming skills acquired during the course Programming.

- Most common programming tools for XR applications
- Most common programming tools for game engines
- Programming of more demanding functionalities

Location and time

Lectures will be held within our XR classroom. They will be remotely available.

There is a lot of flexibility with this course, see alternative methods for completion.

Materials

All course materials will be posted on the Teams -channel created for this course.

Teaching methods

This is a course relying a lot on lectures and practice assignments.

Lectures will provide introduction to the theory and fundaments. Exercises will repeat the lecture topic after which it will be unpacked together. All materials and lectures will be available online.
You will have some access to direct, personalized support from the senior lecturer in the classroom.

We will foster an atmosphere of collaboration and support with an effort to accommodate and welcome each member of our small learning community.

At the end of the course, there is a coding challenge where you can gage your grasp of the concepts in a fun and challenging way!

Exam schedules

Opportunities for code challenge are on the first and last day of the course.

Completion alternatives

It's possible to complete this course without attending lectures. You'll need to complete a coding challenge, and by demonstrating your mastery of the course scope you will get a passing grade depending on your performance.

It's possible to repeat the code challenge to upgrade your grade.

Student workload

You're not expected to work more than 9:15 to 15:00 during weekdays.
