	Objectives
	EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES THE COURSE AIMS TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO THE MAIN METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPLICATIONS ORIENTED TO THE COLLECTION OF DATA FROM HETEROGENEOUS SOURCES AND FOR THE PRESENTATION (ALSO INTERACTIVE) OF DATA IN A WEB ENVIRONMENT. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY. THE STUDENT WILL KNOW METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR THE COLLECTION OF DATA FROM HETEROGENEOUS SOURCES (APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE - API, WEB PAGES, SENSORS, ETC.). THE STUDENT WILL ALSO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO DATA CLEANING AND PRE-PROCESSING. FINALLY, THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO FRAMEWORKS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPLICATIONS FOR THE PRESENTATION OF DATA AND RESULTS OF DATA ANALYSIS IN A WEB ENVIRONMENT. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DEVELOP APPLICATIONS (INCLUDING WEB) FOR THE PRESENTATION OF DATA AND/OR RESULTS (INCLUDING GRAPHICS) OF DATA ANALYSIS PROCESSES AND TO USE FRAMEWORKS TO COLLECT DATA FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES USING TOOLS SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API), WEB SCRAPING, SENSOR INTERFACES.

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE AIMS TO ACCOMPANY STUDENTS IN THE PROCESS OF PERMANENT TRAINING (LIFELONG LEARNING), WHICH INVOLVES CONTINUOUS UPDATE (THROUGH THEIR WHOLE LIFE) OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS, SEEKING TO STIMULATE CURIOSITY AND INTEREST TOWARDS IT AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES . THE TEACHER WILL SHOW THE "PRACTICAL" IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT IS PRESENTED IN LESSON AND USE WILL BE MADE OF SLIDES, ACCOMPANIED BY MULTIMEDIA ELEMENTS. STUDENTS WILL BE INVITED TO LEARN MORE INTO THE COURSE TOPICS BY PROPOSING THEM ONLINE RESOURCES OF PARTICULAR INTEREST. DURING THE COURSE THE TEACHER WILL MAKE EXTENSIVE USE OF EXAMPLES, GUIDED EXERCISES AND EXERCISES TO BE CARRIED OUT AT HOME. FROM A STRUCTURAL POINT OF VIEW, THE LESSONS COULD BE: • LECTURES • GUIDED EXERCISES. • HOME EXERCISES. • END OF TOPIC PROJECTS. IN LECTURES, THE TEACHER WILL INVITE STUDENTS TO PERFORM EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM. IN THE GUIDED PROJECTS, WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END OF EACH TOPIC, A COMPLETE EXAMPLE WILL BE PRESENTED WHICH WILL SHOW, IN INCREMENTAL WAY COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS TOPICS, THE PRACTICE OF EVERYTHING PRESENTED IN THE ENTIRE TOPIC. THESE SMALL PROJECTS WILL BE ORIENTED TO THE DESIGN OF SMALL WEBSITES. EACH PROJECT WILL BE INTRODUCED, ILLUSTRATED, STARTED AND THEN LEFT TO THE STUDENTS TO COMPLETE. AT THE END OF EACH GUIDED PROJECT THE COMPLETE SOLUTION WILL BE PRESENTED. IN THE DISCUSSION OF THE EXERCISES, DESIGN AND COMMUNICATION INDICATIONS WILL BE GIVEN (WITH TEXT, IMAGES, AUDIO AND VIDEO) IN ORDER TO PRODUCE AN ATTRACTING LAYOUT IN LINE WITH THE MAIN USABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH A RATING OUT OF THIRTY. DURING THE EXAM THE STUDENT MUST SHOW THAT HE KNOWS THE CONCEPTS "THEORETICALLY" AND THAT HE KNOWS THEY "PRACTICALLY" APPLY THE TECHNIQUES LEARNED IN THE COURSE. THE EXAM TESTS ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS, ONE "THEORETICAL" AND ONE "PRACTICAL"; EACH PART HAS A MINIMUM SUFFICIENCY THRESHOLD, BELOW WHICH THE ENTIRE EXAM IS NOT PASSED, EVEN IF THE INSUFFICIENCY CONCERNS ONLY ONE OF THE TWO PARTS.
