Explore the essential elements of Web design and utilize practical activities and step-by-step procedures to design, build, and post learning activities in a classroom website. Participants will create templates for page layout and learn techniques for fine-tuning and modifying prepackaged Web page development software. Learn how to convert and scale artwork and photographs for Web publication, use tables and templates to organize layouts, examine copyright concerns for authors of websites, upload files to school web servers or utilize free web hosting servers.
No Web design software, such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver, is required for successful completion of the final project. Activities provide individualized instruction and allow participants to create pages that focus on a segment of the classroom population, such as remedial work, or projects for talented and gifted learning beyond the regular curriculum. Participants from the same school district may work on activities as a team. .
Because this class is asynchronous and open to you 24/7, you may participate from your home or work computer during hours that are best for your work and family schedule.
The class is highly interactive with a significant discussion component. All projects/assignments will be submitted via e-mail or presented via the WWW. Instructor/peer comments will be available through discussion groups or sent by e-mail.
