Course Formats, Styles and Timing
This Course is the "Distance Learning" replica of the "Real World" one conducted by Carlo Scodanibbio at the University of Cape Town for many years - very successfully, according to participants' testimonials.
It is now offered in several formats to the wider Internet audience.
This course is structured to be:
This Course is based on the HTML 4.0 specifications taking into due consideration the impact of the very recent XHTML 1.0 guidelines issued by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium - the "standardisation" organism of the Internet).
This Course is presently structured in three Modules:
- A Basic Module. This will bring you to the stage of publishing your own Web Site - having good, effective and functional features - on the Net.
- An Intermediate Module. This will allow you to give solid, professional features to your Web Site, including some interactivity and it will make you understand a lot of secrets of the Net.
- An Advanced Module. This will give you the final touches necessary to become a Professional Web Site Designer and WebMaster: creating dynamic Web Pages - beautifying them with artistic style - and achieving a "status" of total control and understanding of the present and future Internet.
You may register for one Module only, for two of them or for all the 3.
If you do not register for all the 3 Modules at once you may always take other Modules at a later stage if you wish. In this way you may "test" the benefits of the Course before committing yourself.
As the Internet evolves at a considerable speed additional Modules, presently being prepared, will become available in the future.
Each of the 3 Modules consists of 10 Lessons (for a grand total of 30).
The majority of Lessons carry some Exercises that you can do as homework. The basic idea is that each step should be mastered before progressing to the next, thus the necessity of introducing homework.
Solutions for most of the Exercises are provided in the following Lesson.
- "Traditional Format": with full tutor's back-up assistance
- On a "do-it-yourself" basis at your own speed
- In a CD
