From: Tessa Prafessa
Re: Web site commission
Thank you for accepting the request to design a web site for my course, Introduction to Fundamentals. I would like you to apply your experience as a student user of many course web sites to the design of a basic, 5-page web site for my course.
I've provided some other information below in question and answer form. If you have questions, please post them to the class discussion area.
- What is the purpose of the web site and the user demographic?
- The purpose of the web site is two-fold: to interest new students in signing up for my course and to inform registered students of the basic information for their course.
- What is the content for the web site?
- General course info (home page), calendar page, resources page, picture gallery, and contact page.
- What other functionality (beyond content delivery) must the web site have?
- The contact page must have a mechanism for collecting inquiries.
- What adjectives could be used for my web site?
- Informative, organized, thought-provokiing, inspiring.
- Who are my competitors?
- I will leave it to you to evaluate model web sites and to design a web site that is comparably functional and offers an acceptable design. Share your aspirational web sites using the Diigo Art 307 group bookmark "faculty".
- What are the goals of the site and how will it be judged?
- Be sure you have read and understand the assignment and objectives. Review the accompanying rubric to understand how the project will be assessed.
