This has been one of my favorite projects so far. I have wanted to learn how to create a website for sometime now! For this assignment, we created a free account with Google Page Creator and developed a website about ourselves. The site had to include three pages. One page was about me, one was my hobbies and interest, and the third page was a resume. This was good practice for teaching me how to design a classroom website. Be sure to check out my site: http://stephanie.hughes.24.googlepages.com
The discussion this week was on some of the major components of designing and developing an effective web course. I think the major components in designing and developing a Web course are clarity, variety, and user friendliness. The main reason for having a Web course is the convenience of flexibility. People can get on-line and work at their own pace. However, if the goals and objectives are not clearly stated, then the Web course is no longer a convenience it’s a hastle! Therefore, I think you need to be very specific in what you want your audience to do. State the purpose of the Web course through a syllabus, list assignments with deadlines, and have regular class discussions. Also, you need to offer variety when navigating through the site. Have more than one way of accessing a page. Offer tutorials, learning modules, and “your self” for help with objectives. It’s very important that there are numerous ways of getting help offered through out the site. This way, you offer the most important component which is communication and you make your site user friendly.
