| Description
Scope and |
ET14 is specifically designed for students
who are serious in pursuing a web related career. It explores the fundamentals
of web design
and implementation of web sites. With the use of a web authoring tool
(Dreamweaver), students will learn how to design and develop a web
site, learn and understand HTML, and create dynamic web graphics. Common
web design issues will be discussed. These include interface design,
technical constraints, communication effectiveness, interactivity and
site navigation issues. As a beginning web design class, ET 14 takes full advantage of the WYSIWYG features of Dreamweaver 8 and is taught from a designer's perspective (front-end design). Beginning with Dreamweaver MX, the program incorporated Dreamweaver UltraDev, a stand alone application, providing advanced programming capabilities. These features are for web developers who build and maintain dynamic web sites, using server applications such as ASP, PHP, and JSP. This advanced “back-end” work is beyond the scope of this course. A good resource, if you want to learn about server applications, is the Dreamweaver MX 2004 Visual QuickPro Guide for Windows and Mac (J. Tarin Towers, et al., Peachpit Press).
--------------------------------------------------------------- The college offers courses
in programming and scripting (see below) for students interested
in
advancing their skills to create and implement server side applications.

| Materials |
Assignments and projects will be submitted electronically to the Academy server. But you will need a storage media to back up and transport your work. A USB mini drive, 256 mb or higher, is required. These are very small, key chain size devices that can be easily plugged into any USB port in the computer and works both on a PC or MAC platform. Comes in many storage capacities, i.e. 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 megs, up to 2 gigs. You will also need a CD. In addition to the uploaded version of your Final Project to the secure server, you will need to submit the Final Project files on a CD at the end of the semester. FYI: Computers that we are using no longer have zip drives, so you can
not use zip disks in our classroom. You may bring other media like firewire
drives or ipods. |

Methods of Evaluation
|
The final grade on this course is based on the following criteria: GRADING:
Improving a project already submitted is encouraged for a better portfolio of work but does not change the original grade. (Note: Students intending to enter the Academy may used the Final Project as part of their portfolio.) Attendance The student is expected to attend all class sessions. Every lecture in class is accompanied by hands-on demonstrations which can not be repeated for individual students. If a student misses a class, it is his/her responsibility to catch up on what was missed. A student who has not attended class for 3 straight weeks and has not
communicated with the instructor, either through phone or email as to
the reason for the absences, will be dropped from the class. There will
be NO reinstating
once the student is dropped. All projects, unless otherwise advised by the instructor, will be uploaded
to the college secure server using the student's assigned account. No
project files shall be removed from the server once uploaded, or you
will lose
credit on those projects. No re-uploading of projects without
the instructors approval. The student must submit both the Midterm Project and
the Final
Project to pass ET14. They must be uploaded to the
academy server to receive a grade. The final grade will be based
on projects that are on the
directory in the secure server. In addition, the student must
PRESENT both MIDTERM and FINAL projects to the class to pass the course. |
