This course introduces you software and concepts designed for creating a web site. Specifically, you will learn to use Dreamweaver MX 2004, a computer application that allows you to create and maintain internet sites and to mount them on the World Wide Web.
The course is specifically designed to allow you to work on individual laptop computers as you are learning and to save your work on a solid state medium as you go along. There will be an introduction to XHTML, the language underlying the structure of web pages. We will also introduce and work with Cascading Style Sheets to design and lay out our web pages. In addition, we will introduce you to graphics and their implementation on the internet. You will learn to set up and maintain a Web site, composed of several Web pages. You will use tables and Cascading Style Sheets to lay out a Web page, you will incorporate graphics in your design, and you will create links among various Web pages.
In addition to the hands-on training with Dreamweaver, this course introduces you to technology resources available to faculty at Southern Connecticut State University. We talk about Web resources available to faculty and students and discuss pedagogical implications for this technology.

As a student with a disability, before you may receive accommodations in this class, you will need to make an appointment with the Disability Resource Office located in EN 15 to arrange for approved accommodations. However, if you would like to speak with me about other information, such as emergency medical information, or arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment as soon as possible.
There is no specific evaluation policy in place for this course. Perhaps the approbation of your colleagues at your presentation on Friday will be incentive enough...
