Students will be expected to carry out two hours of asynchronous tasks which will be provided on a Moodle platform. Tasks will typically include reading tasks based on a particular topic. Students will also be expected to complete several activities prior to joining the live class.

The live class will be conducted on TEAMS with an emphasis on collaborative task-based coding activities. Students will be required to undergo an assessment at the end of the course to test the skills they have learned.

Introduction to the course. JavaScript syntax.

Variables – assigning and declaring. Data types, arrays, operators.

Functions (declaring, calling, functions with parameters), returning values, argument objects.

Loops and decisions. For, Do and Do..while loops.

Events – Load, focus and blur events, determining the cursor position. Form events – validation.

Event listeners (DOM Event handlers, using event listeners).

This course runs over a two-week period and requires 12 hours of study. This includes:

  • 6 hours per week (2 x 120mins online lessons + 2 hrs asynchronous flexible learning)
  • A practical assessment will be required at the end of the course which will be used to test key coding skills acquired over the duration of the course.

This course will provide students with the basic knowledge and skills required to carry out designing webpages. Students taking this course will already have some knowledge of HTML and CSS.

Especially designed for students who require a grounding in theory and practice of JavaScript. Students taking this course should have some prior knowledge of HTML and/or CSS.

Learning Goals:

• Basic JavaScript instructions and functions
• Methods and objects
• Decisions and loops
• Events

At the end of the course, you’ll complete a practical test to check your knowledge and understanding. Successfully completing the test will bring your course to an end and you’ll receive your certificate. You’re able to take the test multiple times to complete the course.

When you’ve finished the course, you’ll receive a certificate from University of Greenwich as evidence that you’ve attended and passed the course
