BBADM3 Web Apps Project

I have put some thought into how best to execute the end of semester project. We have not found a web based CSM that is reliable enough for our purposes. DreamWeaver requires a more detailed understanding of HTML and CSS than most students have. So students have 2 options.

Microsoft Publisher: Students are free to use Publisher if they wish. Publisher is easy to use and provides templates that students can use. The main drawback is that pages look like they were made with published and it may be difficult to make the site do exactly what you want. Customizing the sites may prove difficult. Also if something goes wrong with Publisher there is not a lot I, nor anyone else, will be able to do about it.

Code by hand: Students will be provided with a template for a very basic site. They can customize the HTML and CSS to suit their own needs.


Students who chose to use Publisher should look at the template anyway, because it would be a very good learning exercise.
