SOFT6008 Class 03 COM2.B

Students worked on exercises we started earlier during the week

SOFT6007 Class 03 Lab ITM

I asked students to make sure they competed the work we began in the last class. I went student-to-student to make sure everyone was OK.

SOFT6007 Class 04 Lecture

This was mostly a pep-talk about making the most of college.

But we did talk a little bit about the module and the assessment.

SOFT6008 COM2.B Class 01

I asked students to sign-up Google+ soon.

We looked at some JavaScript. We made a page that used a different greeting depending on the time of day.
We looked at how to generate random numbers in JavaScript and how to build up an img tag in a string. The nested quotes are tricky.

In the next class students will make a page that displays a different image depending on the time of day, and they will play with and extend the New Orleans example.

SOFT6007 Some useful online classes

A bit old, but still worth a look.

HTML basics

Some points on including images in web pages. Don't forget that an img tag must include alt, width, and height attributes.

SOFT6007 Class 01 & 02 Lab A

We wrote a basic HTML page that included links and images. I asked students to experiment and add to the page, but not to use new tags.

I asked students to check out each other on Google+ and to get to know those students around them I explained how G+ circles work.

We wrote a basic HTML page that included links and images. I asked students to experiment and add to the page, but not to use new tags.

SOFT6007 (DWEB1) Class 01

We spent the class dealing with timetable issues. It's all a bit complicated.

SOFT6008 COM2.A Class 01 & 02 Lab

I discussed the objectives of the module, got students to sign up to Google+ and showed them this blog.

We looked at some JavaScript.

Improvements to JPEG Compression

COMP6023 Repeat

The Web Publishing repeat is by continuous assessment. There is no exam. By now you should have received the assignment specifications by email. If you did not please email your lecturer (Colin & Irene). 

Students may use the same blog as before, but should check the list online to make sure the lecturer has it.

Students may use the same images as before. So there is no need to redo the experiments provided they were done properly in the first place.

Students may use the same essay title as before or may choose another from the list. It's worth considering a change of topic. 

If you have any questions or problems please email Irene or Colin

Good Luck

COMP6023 Assignment 2

A number of students did not submit the image compression assignment for COMP6023 Web Publishing.  It is possible that some of these students completed the bulk of the work required for the assignment, but because they did not complete the process the work was not visible to the lecturers.  Since the lecturers couldn’t correct the assignment these students for no marks for it.

Please visit your blog by typing in the URL into the address bar and check to see that your Assignment 2 is visible from the home page.  If it is not visible, you should log into Blogger and  correct this.  You can find detailed instructions on how to do this here:http://youtu.be/6kb73odotYA

Once you have made the pages visible, please e-mail your lecturer (Colin or Irene) to let him or her  know.  You should do this beforenoon on Sunday 22 June.  However the sooner you do this the sooner we can get back to you.

In order to be fair to all students, any student who published Assignment 2 as blog Posts instead of Pages may also correct this problem.

COMP6021 Final Exam

The final exam was today at 1000.

Students will have their results when they are all published together. I don't plan to publish the results of the CA component in the meantime.

I hope you all enjoyed the module. It was a bit of a stretch for some of you. But trying new things is always a good idea. It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

Good luck with your future plans.

COMP6023 Submission Issues

The deadline for Assignment 2 and Assignment 3 were today.

If you did not have Assignment 2 (GIF & JPEG experiments) completed by today it will be marked as late. However, it will only be marked if you e-mail me to advise me that you have posted it online.

If you did not submit your Assignment 3 (Essay) to Turnitin.com before the deadline today it will be marked as late. To submit it please send 2 e-mails to me. The first e-mail should have the essay as an attachment. The second email should be sent at the same time and should state that the first e-mail was just sent. [If the CIT firewall does not like the attachment it will kill the entire message, and will advise neither the sender nor the recipient.]

If you submitted work that was not entirely your own, you may withdraw your submission for all of any of either Assignments 1, 2, or 3 up to noon on Friday 9 May, by sending me an e-mail.

Last class of the year

That concludes our business. It's been a pleasure doing business with you all.

If you have any questions about anything please feel free to just drop by my office.

Good luck with your exams.
