May 29 - 30, 2008 ,
9:00 a.m. (Th) - 4:30 p.m. (Fri)
Birmingham-Southern College, Birmingham, AL
For faculty, technologists, and librarians from Birmingham-Southern College and other participating colleges who are interested in learning how to develop websites for pedagogical use with Macromedia DreamWeaver. (10 program units. Liaisons' deadline: Friday, April 18, 2008)
Participant should bring ideas and materials for a web project to this workshop.
The advent of the Internet heralded the information age, in which colleges have begun to break free from the constraints of traditional publishing systems. Faculty and staff can now publish course materials and scholarship online, guide students to higher levels of academic performance by connecting them with public audiences, and share and build knowledge and information across campuses and beyond. Web authoring tools like Macromedia DreamWeaver make web development easier by providing users with an interface that allows them to compose directly in HTML (hypertext markup language) or by using a design editor similar to word processors such as MS Word. This workshop introduces basic web authoring with Macromedia Dreamweaver, covering basic web graphics, design issues, and how to read html. Participants will learn by working on their own projects and will leave with the ability to compose web pages directly or for publishing through course or content management systems.
This workshop is available through NITLE's Workshops-to-Go program, which delivers professional development opportunities for faculty and academic support staff directly to participating campuses. Contact your campus liaison to explore options for bringing a Workshop-to-Go to your campus. Liaisons may order Workshops-to-Go by contacting Rebecca Davis.
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To participate in this workshop, please contact your campus liaison. Your campus liaison will select your campus's nominees and send their names to NITLE. Nominees will receive further information from NITLE about the registration process.
