Course outline

What is the course about?

iWeb makes it easy for you to create your own sophisticated website. We will explore the methods and techniques to do this, using your own images, photos, movies, sound files and text. You will learn about technical issues such as domain names, hosting sites, creating hyper links, publishing to the .Mac server and managing multiple sites. You will be encouraged to create a unique design aesthetic, rather than relying on templates.

What topics will we cover?

Introduction to the main features of iWeb.
How to set up a .Mac account.
Introduction to the iWeb environment.
How to create a site using templates.
Importing images, audio and video files into iWeb.
Creating text, shapes, buttons and links.
Publishing your site to .Mac server.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

Set up a .Mac account.
Create and manage a sophisticated iWeb website.
Learn the basic functions of iWeb.
Import photos, movies, sound files and text to iWeb.
Create text, graphics and links in iWeb.
Manage multiple sites.
Publish your site to .Mac server from your personal Mac computer.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

No previous knowledge is required, but you will need experience using an Apple Mac. You should be able to follow spoken instructions, read written instructions and information, and discuss work with your tutor.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Each student has their own computer.
Presentations will be made using computers, whiteboard, overhead screen and printed notes.
Step by step instruction, with demonstrations where appropriate, will help you grasp the concepts.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?
