IS_LT 7375 - Mobile Web Application Development
The purpose of this course is to provide students with knowledge necessary to create a mobile app with basic functions using HTML 5, JavaScript, and CSS3. Through this course, students will obtain knowledge of mobile web app development including both design and development phases. Upon the completion of this course, students will produce a mobile web app that can be operated via a mobile device.

IS_LT 7383 - Rapid Development Tools for Online Learning
Students will apply principles of rapid development and use rapid development tools to create a prototype of an e-learning module that uses technology features that can enhance learning (e.g. learner interactions). Specific competencies include: Storyboard and "rapidly" develop an e-learning module using software designed to support this process; Use software tools that develop specific elements of e-learning (e.g. video, animation, gaming), and incorporate those elements into an e-learning module; Evaluate rapidly developed e-learning products; Compare and contrast features of rapid development software packages.

IS_LT 9473 - Project Management
This course introduces the learner to the necessary and practical project management concepts and skills that lead to reductions in project cycle time while maintaining control over budget, resources, risk, and delivered value. This course proposes to integrate practical project management skills within the project management lifecycle (i.e., initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing).
