IN PERSON: Do you want to build a website? In this course, students will gain a comfortable understanding of the tools that are available in the Weebly editing system to build and maintain a personal website. These tools include the Weebly build, pages, themes, apps and settings frames. You will learn to create and import text; add single images and galleries; display PDFs; link to slides, video files and audio files; link to YouTube videos; and use "buttons" to create interactivity on the website. Because the Weebly editor creates the needed HTML code automatically, no programming is involved. During each class, students will create their own website under the step-by-step guidance of the instructor. A mutually supportive learning environment will be maintained. Examples of websites built either by the instructor or his previous students will be examined. Students will leave the course with a customized website of their own, and the tools (and confidence!) they need to maintain it. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
