INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Website Project

You are to design a personal web site for presentation of your projects (annotations, data base assignment, information science theory project, and any other pertinent information) in this class and create the pages for the site using the HTML language. The two primary purposes of this assignment are for you to

  • practice using the HTML language and show that you are proficient in developing a website using HTML and
  • use appropriate design techniques to design an attractive, useful, and WebXACT approved website. (You are only required to WebXACT test your homepage for this course.)

You should NOT use MicroSoft Word, MicroSoft FrontPage, DreamWeaver, Composer, or other such software to generate the pages for your website. Use of other software to generate the HTML for your pages will result in a severe reduction in your grade for this assignment.

You will be provided space on the GSLIS server for your site. Instructions on how to set up your site will be given during the first week of class.

Your site should be posted by 2/25/07, but it is expected that your site will evolve and change as the semester progresses. The final grade for this assignment will be based on the site as it appears during the last week of the semester. Fifty per cent of the final grade will be based on your use of HTML and fifty percent will be based on the design of your site.

Due: Final version of website 4/30/07
