Old Textbook: Creating Web Pages with
HTML-Comprehensive;
2nd.
ed. 2000; Patrick Carey ISBN# 0-619-01968-9
Students who have access to last year's text (Creating Web Pages 2nd edition) may use the text this year as the first 10 chapters are exactly the same.
The required textbook has five additional
Optional chapters covering DHTML and two chapters on JavaScript, which will not
be required in this course. Students with advanced HTML skills may substitute assignments with DHTML
chapters for the first three chapters of the course.
HTML Text Editor Software: If the student currently uses a WYSIWYG editor to generate web pages, please refrain from using Front Page, Dreamweaver, or similar editor during the course. The instructor’s text editor of choice is the HTML Editor: HomeSite 5.0. Students using HomeSite 4.51 should go to downloads: http://www.macromedia.com/software/homesite/download/update/
and upgrade their Homesite 4.51 for free with
HomeSite 4.52, which is compatible with Windows 2000. Students may also use notepad to type
all code from scratch and not use and HTML editor.
Download HTML Text Editor HomeSite 5.0 for 30 days:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/homesite/trial/
Homesite 5.0 sells for $99 retail. Homesite+ is packaged with Dreamweaver
Mx, which sells for $299 retail.
Educationally you can purchase Dreamweaver 4.0 (with HomeSite 5)
for $99 through an education vendor. CGS 2822
Web Site Creation focuses on Dreamweaver to develop the sites once HTML coding
is understood. The purpose of using
HomeSite first in CGS 2820 is for the student to become familiar with HTML
code. The purpose of CGS 2822 is to
concentrate on building web sites and to study web design.
Supplies: minimum of five 1.44 meg floppy disks to submit
assignments. Disks are not returned. Student who send assignments through email
attachments must include all files for the assignment as attachments and the
student is not to send the files zipped into one file. E-Learning student will
send most of their assignments via email. (Students may reformat free used
disks located on instructor’s desk)

Getting Started (Your ISP
and Email):
Sometimes the hardest part of the course for some of the students is to gain access to the Internet at home. Students must have access to the Internet to complete the course. Free access is available at the public libraries and all HCC computer labs. However, e-Learning’s purpose is to allow the student to complete his/her work from a distance, which the majority of the time is from the student’s home. Most of the class members already have an Internet Service Provider (ISP) at their home.
If you do not have
access to the Internet, it is suggested that you do not contract for an ISP
that requires longer than a one-year agreement. Purchasing an ISP contract is
like buying a cell phone contract. Be careful. There are great deals out there.
For example: 695online.com is a new ISP out of
When you are shopping for an ISP, you need to find information such as:
- The monthly base fee and whether it is unlimited access or a specific number of hours it provides.
- The hourly rate for time used over the monthly base amount.
- Whether the telephone access number is local or long distance.
- Which specific Internet services are included.
- What software is included.
- What user-support services are available.
- Can you access the ISP when traveling.
Directions to set up your modem through My Computer and Dial-Up Networking can be access through HELP. You need several things to setup the ISP: a local dial-up phone number, your log-on user name, your log-on user pass word, your incoming email server address and your outgoing email server address.
After being on the Internet, students may want to have a faster connection. These services start at $34.95 and up. Dialup access via phone is limited to 53 kbs at the very best connection. Cable and DSL are at least twice as fast. This is the reason the instructor recommends no long term contracts so that faster options are available at a later time.
HCC does not allow dialup access to the Internet. Also HCC does not assign student SMTP regular E-Mail accounts like USF.
Therefore, each campus student should obtain an Internet email access either through hccbrandon.net, Hotmail, MailExcite, or Yahoo or (all are free) or a private provider (up to $23/month). By the second week of the course the student must have an ISP and an email address.
Students receive the 50 points by emailing the instructor at jtaylorcgs2820@yahoo.com and mailto:jtaylor80@hccbrandon.net with cc’s to jtaylor@hcc.cc.fl.us and jtaylor@masterlinx.net with a short message with a description of the student's past HTML experience, if any. Subject of the first email is: 80e: first email.
By the end of the second week, the instructor will send a group email to all the students in the class. For 75 additional points the student will add all the class members and the instructor to their address book, setup a group mail in the address book, and send a group email to everyone in the class and Taylor’s four email addresses During the course the students will send biweekly group emails to all class members and the instructor for 25 points each. These group emails will include the URL’s of the best web sites found during the weekly period (from bookmarks or favorite sites) subdivided into the following categories: Educational, Entertainment, Informational, on-line E-Commerce and links to completed HTML pages on his/her web site.
Phone/Email Network:
http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/faculty/john_taylor/cgs2820/summer02s/80atdeLrn.html
links to John Taylor’s e-Learning students
Students may use the instructor’s web site:
http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/faculty/john_taylor/cgs2820/elearning/ to initially post their work in a sub
directory using their last name in lower case.
Completed work may be submitted to HCC’s Student Server, if available or
to the student’s private ISP or to a free web host.
FTP
Requirement:
During
the course, the student will have to transfer many files (uploading
and downloading). The student will download an FTP program such as
WS_FTP. Your on-line Mastering the Internet Web Yoda first course has the
following Problem #6 which is worth 50 points for completion:
Web Yoda Mastering Internet Problem #6 - Download WS_FTP
|
|
|
|
1. |
Visit the WebYoda
FTP site ftp://ftp.webyoda.com/. |
|
2. |
Click on the directory pub. |
|
3. |
Then click on the file ws_ftple.exe to download the
software. |
|
4. |
Download it to your c:\temp directory. |
|
5. |
Make a note at Problem #6 in your homepage.htm of where to
find WS_FTP on the Internet (the
URL). |
|
6. |
Save your file, view your class project in the browser,
and hit the reload/refresh button. |
|
7. |
Other instructor led activities may be added. |
Free Web Hosting
The student may acquire either through his/her ISP web space or one of
the free sites:
www.brandonfla.com (see Bob Harrell)
www.free.prohosting.com
www.geocities.com
www.tripod.com
www.fortunecity.com
www.angelfire.com
www.spree.com
www.bravenet.com
The
student will make directories at the web site and upload their homepage, Web
Yoda course projects, and images used. Obtaining the web site outside of
the instructor’s is worth 25 points, making this section worth 150 points
total.
File Formats:
Windows as well as other Microsoft Programs allow the user to save files in a ridiculous fashion, which causes many problems on the web. What happens when a students opens a word processor or other application and types the first letter, is that Microsoft in their great wisdom creates a temporary name for the file which includes the first words typed or the title at the top of the page. This includes the NO! NO! spaces between words and super long file names. When the student saves the file, the student is to overwrite the program’s attempt to create these long file names with spaces and other non-letter/number symbols. It is best to keep the file name to eight letters before the period and the extension.
When working with unsaved files, many programs such as
HomeSite will make a back-up save, which includes a tilde: ~hs_80sylS01.html . The tilde ~
will truncate extra long files. The
~tilde in URL’s have a different meaning such as: http://www.ju.edu/~mbessma/ . Please do
not use more than eight letters or numbers in a file name with no other symbols
(except the underscore if you just have to have a space in the name). The
instructor will forgive pushing it to 10 or 14 characters, but no more.
Next: Do NOT use Uppercase letters, except as noted above to replace a space between two words. For every file the instructor has to view, which violates the rule of the class, 50 points will be deducted.
Attendance:
Student
within
Students are in an
e-Learning class. This means that the student works at his/her own pace through
the course. However, deadlines must be followed in submitting assignments
during the term. There is not an
absolute course calendar. Assignments may vary a week or two from the tentative
calendar, depending on background of class members. Unless otherwise notified
assignments are due according to the course calendar distributed at
orientation.
The instructor may have synchronous training scheduled weekly or biweekly, if the platform is available. Synchronous sessions are not required. The instructor will have virtual office hours to be determined at orientation, but attendance is not required.
Students
not attending the final class meeting (unless prior arrangement is made with
the instructor) are subject to “F” final grades.
Students absent should consult the weekly group emails or the menus at:
http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/faculty/john_taylor/cgs2820.html
Access to Student
Emails and Web Sites (SAMPLE):
http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/faculty/john_taylor/cgs2820/elearning/80atdS02c.html
the file name begins with
80atd followed by the term: S02c for spanned Summer 2002, F02 for Fall 2002,
and S03 for Spring 2003.
Synchronous Attendance:
The instructor may hold biweekly sessions on the Internet via WebCT whiteboard or the Interwise teaching platform. The outline of the session will be sent via group email at least two days prior to the session. These sessions will be in the evening slot on Tuesday or Thursday nights or Saturdays during the daytime. These sessions are optional, except if Interwise is used then the sessions are recorded and can be played back at a later time for students missing the session or for those that wish to review the session.

Academic Software Purchases:
As students of HCC you may purchase software,
fully licensed, called Academic Versions for your home use at reduced prices,
which are generally lower then local stores and online pricing deals. For
example, HomeSite cost $99 when purchased from the Vendor: Macromedia. There
are often $25 or $30 rebate coupons for Office Depot, Comp
On-Line Tutorial Quizzes and
Exams:
After the first two weeks (one week in the summer), students will complete on-line quizzes and exams. The quizzes are open book/notes, but must be completed individually without assistance from peers at home. These quizzes (up to 8 total) will be the exercises that should be completed prior to attempting weekly online tests via WebCT. 15-60 points of the total grade (one point for each correct answer) will be earned for the completion of these weekly quizzes.
After completion of the quiz, the student will attempt a timed on-line exam through WebCT. The WebCT exams will be 25 randomly selected questions worth 2 points each. The student will have only 25 minutes to complete the test. The student will be allowed one and only one retest to improve the grade, except the retest will be the score, which counts toward the final grade.
The instructor will prepare
the chapter quizzes from the required textbook: New Perspectives on Creating
Web Pages with HTML and Dynamic HTML – Comprehensive. The chapter quizzes will be worth up to 55
points each, 50 points short answer and an additional 5 points for an essay question when on the
quiz.. (Not every quiz has an essay question) The on-line chapter quizzes allow
the student to check the test before submitting it..
CGS 2820 students should access Test
Zero from their home to test their ISP:
1. Enter your name and email address,
2. Enter the answer to #1 as choice a,
3. Scroll down to the "All Done Check the Test" button and
click to see if your ISP's browser pops up the window and grades the test with
a score of 1 out of 50.
4. Finally click the submit button and see if the test submits.
Tutorial 0: CGS 2820 Test Template
The student must check the quiz at
least once before submitting it. After checking it, the student has an option
to change the answer to the correct answer before submitting it. From time to
time, especially during Beta Testing a new quiz, a wrong answer will be
programmed in the test checker. If the
student strongly disagrees with the computer’s answer, the student should
challenge the answer by describing why the computer’s answer is wrong in the “I
discovered that…” section of the test.
If the test does not submit with an
error message of Invalid Characters present: check the text boxes to see if:
any of the following characters were used:
!, # ,$, %, ^, &, *, (, ), {, }, [, ],
<, >, ?, ~, +, =, |
Delete the special character and try to resubmit.
Also, sometimes the quiz checker doesn’t work or indicates a JavaScript error. If the test will not grade, print out a hard copy of the pop-up window or electronically capture it, submit the test using the alternate submit button. The instructor charges at least 15 points for quizzes not checked (or alternately submitted with hard copy), making the maximum score 35 out of 50. Also the instructor charges 15 points for a student who fails to place their name on the test or another 15 points if they fail to place their correct email address at the top of the test.
Final Exam:
The
instructor will administer an on-line Final Exam over the assigned tutorials from the text. The
student may complete the exam off campus or in the Brandon Campus testing
center. The test will be 60 questions via WebCT. This exam may be open book and
open notes, but must be completed individually on-line in 60 minutes or in the
testing center with a two hour (120
minute) time limit. This exam will be worth 120 points with two point(s) earned for each correct answer.
As
an alternative the student may complete On-Line Web Yoda Associate Webmaster
Certification Exam (60 questions-60 minutes) for $35 (or in the AWP) Package.
Passing the exam (80% or better) will constitute a 100% grade on the
Final.
On-Line
Security Check:
During the exams or the final exam, on-line security
checks may occur. Students will fill out a data form at the orientation
session. Students will have to show the instructor photo identification of
themselves when submitting these forms at the end of the orientation plus have
an electronic photo taken. When a
security check occurs, the student will have 30 seconds to respond with the
correct answer or the test will be voided.
WEEKLY Evaluations
Assignments:
Each week the student may be required to
submit a weekly evaluation/task. The
assignment may include problems and activities from the book, activities
assigned by the instructor, or Web Yoda Exercises from the on-Line course
materials. Each assignment is designed to take no more than three to six hours
per week to prepare outside of class. 50-75-100
points of the final grade will be determined for each task completed up to 1200 points. Student selecting the web Yoda/FSU Option
will only have to complete 300 points beyond Web Yoda’s 900 points assignments
below. For example: for Tutorial 10, the
student will script using MASH 4.52 a Microsoft Agent into their personal home
page and create a button to trigger the agent’s dialog. Web Yoda does not cover Audio, Video, or
Animation in the two HTML courses, but HCC’s course objectives require that
students use audio and video on web pages.

Web Yoda Exercises/Homework
Completion:
Students
have the option to complete all Web Yoda Exercises and homework for both
Beginning HTML and Advanced HTML by the end of the course and post the results
on their web site or post under the instructor’s temporary web site for
students. Each posting will be worth 450
total points and will substitute for most of the task assignments above
Personal Web Site/Faculty
Web Site and Final Course Project :
The student will prepare a personal About Me Web Site demonstrating the use
of text, images, links, and lists. During the term, the student will author
basic pages for this web site, which
may include Biographical sketch, photo albums pages, favorite web sites page
and/or Major Interest page. Instead of the About me web site, the
student may prepare a web site for the student’s employer or a special organization. Another option for the initial
web site is for the student to act as a beginner intern for a Brandon Campus
faculty member to post the syllabus, assignments, and possibly a series of
practice tests. The student will earn 200 points for the About Me web
site or 200 points for the Employer/Organization
web site or 200 points for the Faculty web site.
Each student will author a final course project/web site. This project may be a game, a tutorial for a
course, an on-job training lesson, a web site for a business or organization,
an educational web site for HCC’s Computer Science department at Brandon, a
multimedia presentation on the Web, a data base management system such as a
video archive, or some other courseware project which may be linked to the
student’s home page and a valuable asset to the students
portfolio. This project should contain
at least one image map and possibly some JavaScript (or VBScript) programs
(such as last modified script). The instructor will provide more detail of this
project in group emails. This project
will count at least 200 points of
the student’s final grade.
The successful installation of these pages
on the Internet and their updates is worth 50
points of the final grade as described in the FTP section above.
Tables,
Frames, and/or Forms Special Projects
The student will prepare an on-Line quiz
using the Instructor’s Testing Template for 200 points. The student may be
required to prepare an on-Line vocabulary quiz with Image swapping using a
template created by the instructor for an additional 200 points.
The student will prepare a complex table
assignment for 200 points, which will be either a Turbo HAL maze or a Crossword
puzzle.
The student may be required to use a template
supplied by the instructor to prepare an evaluation, survey, guest book, or
shopping cart form for 200 points.
