The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) define basic web technologies 2) define the Internet technologies that enable the World Wide Web 3) display skills to implement web sites based on web standards 4) design adaptable, accessible and optimized web sites 5) display skills to build HTML pages 6) display skills to style HTML pages using CSS 7) define capabilities and limitations of JavaScript 8) display skills to create and optimize multimedia content for the web 9) use common design patterns while designing web sites 10) display skills to balance aesthetics and usability issues when designing websites |
| The course is structured in three parts. First part aims students to understand the “High Level Design Decisions and Design Strategy for Web Development”, analyzing the requirements of the stakeholders of a web site to develop a conceptual content model prior to the visual design of the web page. Second part will concentrate on visual design of web interfaces through a prototyping process for visualizing the ideas in the conceptual model and developing clear navigation tools for information requirements of stakeholders. Students will transfer their prior knowledge on layout, colors and typography to web medium. The third part aims to give technical skills on production of web sites, including the animation tools, hypertext markup and optimized graphics. |
