| Objective |
The aim of the course
is to show students how to create websites both for personal use and for
businesses. The course is split into two modules with the first concentrating
on the theory of website design and the second creating websites using
a web design program. Students should preferably have access to Macromedia
Dreamweaver as the practical exercises will
be shown using Dreamweaver MX2004 (a trial 30-day version can be downloaded
from the course pages). However, any webdesign programme can be used,
but the use of a CMS (content managment system) to complete the final
project is not acceptable. |
| Content |
Background of the Internet,
theory of website design, what makes a good website, using a web design
program, creating images for the web, uploading files to a web server,
directory structures. There will be a project where students will create
a website for a fictional or existing company. All texts on the site will
be made in English. |
| Method of study |
Students will follow
the course virtually via Moodle and all necessary material will be available
on-line. |
| Assessment |
On-line exercises relating
to theory, active participation in discussions, completed website in accordance
with course instructions. |
