learning it is pivotal for aspiring web developers. Incorporating GitHub enhances students'
abilities to work in a collaborative coding environment, promoting teamwork, code
versioning, and industry-standard development practices. The course addresses the demand
for proficient PHP developers and individuals capable of efficiently managing and
collaborating on projects, making it a valuable addition to any web development curriculum.

2. COMPETENCY
The purpose of this course is to help the student to attain the following industry identified
competency through various teaching learning experiences:
Develop dynamic web applications, interact with databases, and implement server-side
functionality.

10. SUGGESTED STUDENT ACTIVITIES:

Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-
related co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the
various outcomes in this course: Students should perform following activities in group and
prepare reports of about 5 pages for each activity. They should also collect/record physical
evidences for their (student’s) portfolio which may be useful for their placement interviews:
a) Identify tools used for web page development and present its features.
b) Undertake course “PHP & MySQL ” available on Swayam online platform.
(https://onlinecourses.swayam2.ac.in/aic20_sp32/preview)
c) Undertake course “PHP” available on solo learn online platform.
(https://www.sololearn.com/learn/courses/le-php) or any other such site.

GTU - COGC-2021 Curriculum

Page 7 of 11
Web Technologies Course Code: 4343205

d) Undertake course “Building Web application in PHP” available on coursera online

platform. (https://www.coursera.org/learn/web-applications-php) or any other such site.

11. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any)

These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the
various outcomes in this course:
a) Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub topics.
b) Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.
c) Managing Learning Environment
d) Encourage students to do Group learning by sharing so that teaching can easily be
enhanced.
e) About 20% of the topics/sub-topics which are relatively simpler or descriptive in nature is
to be given to the students for self-learning, but to be assessed using different assessment
methods.
f) With respect to section No.10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and
provisions for co-curricular activities.
g) Guide students on how to address issues on environment and sustainability using the
knowledge of this course
h) Arrange expert lectures by experts working professionally in the area of webpage
development.
i) More focus should be given on practical work which will be carried out in laboratory
sessions. If possible some theory sessions may be conducted in labs so that theory and
practice can go hand in hand.
j) Faculty should allow students to use their creativity and let them struggle to learn on their
own during practical sessions. However, faculty should remain around the students and
should help them when they are stuck.
k) Arrange a webpage development competition by making groups of four students each and
award the winning group. Give publicity to this competition at institute/city level.

12. SUGGESTED PROJECT LIST

Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned
to him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project is
group-based (group of 3 to 5). However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, the number of
students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based,
laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs
which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain
dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar

GTU - COGC-2021 Curriculum

Page 8 of 11
Web Technologies Course Code: 4343205

presentation of it before submission. The total work load on each student due to the micro-
project should be about 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours (i.e., about one hour per
week) during the course. The students ought to submit micro-project by the end of the
semester (so that they develop the industry-oriented COs).
A suggestive list of micro-projects is given here. This should relate highly with competency
of the course and the COs. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned course
teacher:
6.3 Develop a website for managing employee information, including details such as name,
position, and contact information.
6.4 Create a system for students to provide feedback on courses. Include a rating system and
comments section for each course.
6.5 Build a dynamic website for online ticket booking to events or shows. Include seat
selection, payment integration, and booking confirmation.
6.6 Develop a system for tracking student attendance. Include features for marking
attendance, generating reports, and notifying absent students.
6.7 Build a weather forecasting application that fetches data from a weather API. Users can
enter a location and view the current weather conditions.
6.8 Develop a personal finance manager that allows users to log in, categorize expenses, set
budgets, and view financial reports.
