  • COM 1000 - Beginning HTML 3 Credit Hours
    COM 1000 - Beginning HTML 3 Credit Hours Course Description: This is a beginning course in HTML, providing instruction in web page creation. The topics studided include using HTML tags to format headings and text, to display images, and to create lists, links, tables, frames, and forms. Course Objectives: To equip students to edit basic HTML code and preview web pages To familiarize students with vocabulary used in the Web Design industry To help prepare students for an entry-level job as a Web Technician This class is designed to teach you HTML coding so that you will be able to code pages using only a text editor, or to fix broken code when you later learn to use a WYSIWYG web page application (like Front Page or DreamWeaver, etc.). For that reason you will not be allowed to use a WYSIWYG web page application when creating projects for this class. You will be required instead to use either a text editor (such as SimpleText for the Macintosh, or Notepad or WordPad for the PC) or a non-WYSIWYG HTML editor such as BBedit or PageSpinner, etc. Prerequisites and Corequisites: Basic computing and keyboarding skills. Course Topics: Creating, previewing and printing HTML documents Formatting text and creating lists with HTML tags Inserting graphic images, image maps and background images Creating forms with data entry fields, radio buttons and pull-down menus Creating tables with HTML tags Using framesets or structuring tables to control page layout Design issues affecting accessibility and usability An introduction to incorporating scripts in web pages Specific Course Requirements: Students should know how to complete basic computer tasks such as creating, naming and saving files to specific folders.

  • Chapter 15: Weaving Guilford's
    15 Weaving Guilford's Web Michael B. Strickland Guilford College Robert M. Whitnell Guilford College There is no Final Word. There can be nojnal version, no last thought. There is always a new view, a new idea, a new interpretation. -Theodor H. Nelson, inventor of the term hypertext Introduction: Student Empowerment and Responsibility About the time that the World Wide Web exploded out of its original niche in the scientific research community, the business community, the general aca- demic community, and many individual users realized its power for the provi- sion and acquisition of information. Like many institutions, Guilford College recognized the need to have a presence on the Web in order to provide informa- tion to its diverse audience: current and prospective students, their parents, alumni, donors, and other friends of the college. However, like many small colleges, the human resources that could be devoted to the development of a site were limited. How then could Guilford create a presence that would truly reflect the college, its students, staff, and faculty? The answer lay in the collaborative, hands-on approach to learning and the tradition of student empowerment that is characteristic of the college, and here we perceived a rare opportunity. In January 1995, we proposed a course which would have as one of its goals the complete creation of the Guilford College Web site. The students would work with the administration, the faculty, and other students to develop the site, from top to bottom. Even given the unlikely nature of this class-an English professor and a chemistry professor collabo- rate to teach a course on communicating with computers and ask that the stu- dents in that class be given full responsibility for the image the college presents on the World Wide Web-the administration (president, provost, academic dean, Weaving Guilford's Web 191 dean of admissions, head of computer services, etc.) accepted this idea not just willingly, but enthusiastically.

It was not within the remit of the project to make specific recommendations. The market is very volatile and there is a huge number of tools with more appearing literally every day. Because of this we have mainly concentrated on servers, browsers and HTML tools; coverage of other areas has of necessity been somewhat patchy due to time constraints. In the course of the survey we have identified 33 servers, 38 browsers, 82 HTML tools and 61 miscellaneous others, including log analysis, helpers, graphics, imagemaps and bookmark managers, plus 12 online tools, mainly HTML validation services. Details are available at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/wwwtools/ The World-Wide Web provides an unusual business model, whereby companies offer software with very attractive pricing, or sometimes even free of charge. This tends to be done as an attempt to set standards or to "increase market share" (although what this means in this environment is quite a different matter). Some shareware and freeware tools written by individuals are either very much under development or have been abandoned by their authors.
