Intro course : Web Design Project

In this project example, students work in teams to design and implement a web site. The project includes preliminary design steps such as site mapping, storyboarding, and reasearch, and requires straight HTML coding. Students use rubrics to assess their own work, and revise their sites accordingly.

This web design challenge can help students build ideas about electronic representation of information, web design and audience, and collaborative group work. The project encourages students to use these ideas to conduct Internet research, organize, manipulate, and display information, and code and debug using HTML.
