the outcomes assessed in your
course during the year.

understanding of URL variables
and how to use them.

understanding of the basic
database manipulation functions
via a request passed from
web page.

In the boxes below, summarize

activities during the last year.
outcomes during the last year.
In the boxes below, summarize
how you are or how you plan to
use the results to improve student
learning.
Based on the results of this
assessment, will you revise your
outcomes? If so, please
summarize how and why in the
boxes below:
The student will demonstrate an
understanding of URL variables
and how to use them by
completing programming
projects that will be evaluated
using a predefined rubric.
Students averaged 97.5% on a
project demonstrating the use of
the URL query string variables in
a request to Google Maps.
URL variables are used in App
Inventor as part of the query
string sent to an Activity Starter
element that will open Google
Maps at a defined location, with
certain properties in place.
This outcome could be revised to
include other programming such
as animation.
The student will demonstrate the
use of both an internal and an
external database for persistent
data in an Android phone app, by
completing projects that will be
evaluated using a predefined
rubric.
All students created an
application that successfully
implemented storing and
retrieving infonnation to both an
internal database and an external
database.
Students successfully stored and
retrieved database infonnation in
several different types of mobile
applications.
This outcome will be revised to
reflect the use of a phone app,
not a webpage; the measure will
reflect the two different database
options available for our Android
phone environment. (Nonna!
database manipulations functions
are not available to the students
in the App Inventor user
interface.)

Course Outcomes
Outcome #3
Old: The student will
demonstrate an ability to create
dynamic web pages from data
contained in a database.
New: The student will create an
Android app utililizing locationawareness and/or orientation, and
communication.
Assessment Measures
The student will incorporate
communication (texting),
location awareness and/or
orientation and communication
(texting) in creative projects, and
that are evaluated using a
predefined rubric.
Assessment Results
Use of Results
Students averaged 86.7% on a
creative project app that
implemented communication
(texting), location awareness
(GPS), and/or orientation.
This outcome is a good measure
of the implementation of intrinsic
smart phone features.
Effect on Course
This outcome was revised to
reflect actual smart phone
capabilities, such as locationawareness, orientation, and
communication.
