Abstract

Mobile WEB applications are one of the most fast developing areas of computer science. Almost all the
technical universities include the courses on the developing of such applications in their computer
science curriculum. Teaching this topic has a number of peculiar features though. Thus, there are a
number of alternative ways for developing such application, different environments, programming
languages and architectural solutions can be used. There is a substantial number of rather high-quality
training materials freely available from the WEB that cover this area. The area is changing almost every
year – new development frameworks gain popularity, some others become obsolete. Teaching the
developing of mobile WEB applications cannot be done without substantial practical component. This is
one of the topics where learning-by-doing is almost inevitable.
Thus, the teachers must teach the most up-to-date developing methods and offer profound practical
work where students may learn all aspects of the developing such systems.
In this paper, we describe the e-learning course on the developing of mobile WEB applications that
utilize the flipped approach.
The course curriculum is implemented as a combination of the following components:
• a number of scripts covering main aspects of the development of the mobile applications;
• a special shared bookmarks repository
• a so-called diary – a special e-learning component that is used to support the project-oriented
communication between students and teachers.
All the components above are described in the paper along with the actual content of the course.
