Class Blackboard for September 7
 This
will be the class home page and online blackboard for COMP 5230
(section 002, ref # 43372).
Introductions
and Roll. (Some things about me).
On
the first day, we'll be looking carefully at the syllabus,
of course.
Tour
this site
Introduce
the Personal Course Home Page Project--draft
or "BETA" version due M 9/20, final version due M 10/4--and
look at some examples.
Class Blackboard for September 9
- Questions about the syllabus or class?
- Note about the "Previous Blackboard
Page."
- Questions about the first project, the Personal
Course Home Page?
- Folders
On your Zip disk or jump drive, create
a structure of folders that looks like this:
Personal Course Home Page
Last time, we clustered on some public
and personal topics to bring them into a dialogue.
-
Get out your cluster and try to continue it
-
Once I've told you to stop clustering, try writing
down a phrase or sentence that sums up something you're thinking about
that connects the public and personal together for you. If you've
got some other connections in might, sum them up in separate phrases
or sentences.
-
Consider how a phrase or sentence might represent
the kernel of a paragraph you might put on your Personal Course Home
Page (something more individualizing and specific than the typical
"Welcome to my Web site..." statement).
-
Consider, further, how this statement might set the
tone for the entire page or site, and help you decide about what images
to include and how the page is designed.
 Today,
we'll try out Dreamweaver by making a Web page, posting it to the Web,
and then visiting that page with our Web browser.
See the in-class handouts, "Liquid Page Design
(Dreamweaver)" and "Moving Files to the Web
with Dreamweaver MX"
If we get through these exercises today in class, I will
ask you to complete these two exercises by class time on Friday. Send
the URL to me in an e-mail with
the subject line "5230 exercise sept 9"

on the left)
- Questions about the syllabus
or class?
- Questions about the first project, the Personal
Course Home Page?
 Last
time, we clustered on some public and personal topics to bring them
into a dialogue, and then wrote a focusing statement.
This time, using what you realized by doing the cluster,
write a rough draft of a paragraph that would appear on your home page
which brings the public and personal "you" together. Don't worry
so much right now about how it sounds or if it's too long: just try to
find a path from the public you to the personal.
Try one of these formats:
-
Begin, as Christian Sandvig does on his
home page, with the standard, public self description and then
shade into the personal.
-
Or, begin, as I do with the opening "Quote"
on my Web page, with
a detailed personal story that shades into a suggestion of your more
public identity.
We'll
complete the following exercises:
1. "Liquid Page Design (Dreamweaver)" starting
where we left off with Step 13, and
2. "Moving Files to the Web with Dreamweaver MX."
Please have these two exercises completed by the beginning
of class on Thursday.
We'll
also begin an exercise using Photoshop, our second major tool for the
course, called "Beginning Banner."
For this exercise, you'll need to download the image "richlighthouse.jpg"
(right-click on this link, and from the menu, choose "Save Image
As" and save it to your non-www folder "web-design").
Class Blackboard for September 16

Next week will be a busy one in 5230. See "Coming
Up" on the left.
Questions about the class or the Personal
Course Home Page Project?
Anyone need copies of the handouts from previous class meetings?:
Post the URL of your Liquid Exercise
to Webx. For this you'll want the handout "Logging into the Webx
Discussion for the First Time."
Any
questions on the Personal Course Home Page Assignment?
Today, we'll learn to key skills for completing the Personal
Course Home Page Project: making links and creating layered images.
Making
Links. Using the Dreamweaver book, we'll learn to make links
on the Web page we created for the "Liquid Page Design" exercise.
See page 180. I'll then ask you to "import" your site information
back into Dreamweaver, and post the revised page to the Web to replace
the old "index.html" page in your "liquid" folder.
Banner
Techniques. We'll complete two exercises using Photoshop, our
second major tool for the course, called "Beginning Banner,"
and "Intermediate Banner," in which you'll learn to make—you
guessed it—a banner like the one at the top of this page.
For this exercise, you'll need an image.
One option would be to download the image "richlighthouse.jpg"
(right-click on this link, and from the menu, choose "Save Image
As" and save it to your non-www folder "web_design").
Or, if you brought in an electronic image that you think
might work as a banner for your Personal Course Home Page, you may use
it instead.
Class Blackboard for September 21
Roll
A look at the slightly revised schedule.
Any trouble posting the .jpg from the
Beginning and Intermediate "Banner Exercise" to the Web? or
sending the URL to Webx? Let me know if you need help.
You will be responsible for reading two chapters from
the Nielsen book for Thursday. See the details under "Coming Up"
on the left.
The
rough draft or BETA version of your Personal
Course Home Page Project will be due tomorrow, Wednesday
9/22 by noon.
Post the page to your www/5230/percourse folder. After
checking the page with your browser, copy and paste the URL to the Webx
discussion "Personal
Course Home Page URLs," which is inside the folder "Projects."
On Thursday, you'll bring in a printout of
the page to turn in. Since this is a BETA version, you will not need
to do annotations on it. I will ask for annotations on the final version,
due M 10/4.
In Dreamweaver, let's set up a site (called
"pchp") for your Personal Course Home Page Project.
Then, we'll "export" the site information in an .ste file
on our disks so we won't have to set this up later. Note that you can
import both the www.ste file and the pchp.ste files and move between
them. For a refresher, see the handout "Moving Files to the Web
with Dreamweaver MX."
Any questions on the Personal
Course Home Page Assignment?
Today, we'll have a "studio day" to
work on the BETA version of this project, due tomorrow.
With this project, we are putting together
the skills we've learned so far, including
-
General Page Design using layout tables (Liquid Page
Design)
-
Inserting text and images (Liquid Page Design)
-
Making Links (Dreamweaver book page 180)
-
Editing images using Photoshop (Beginning and Intermediate
Banner Techniques)
-
Moving files and folders to the Web with Dreamweaver's
Site functions.
-
Sending a URL to the Webx discussion board.
For doing your required e-mail link, see
page 187 of your Dreamweaver book.
For doing headings,
see page 259.
For other
text formatting you might like to do, see the section beginning
on page 230.

Reading Assignment: please read Jakob Nielsen's Chapter
3, "Content Design" for next Tuesday.
Pick up the printout of the BETA version of the Personal
Course Home Page.
Nice
job on posting the BETA version of the Personal Course Home
Page to the Web, and sending the URL to the discussion board. This is
a major threshold of the semester.
Now we'll think
about some design principles for revising the page to make it more effective.
Thinking
about screen real estate, today we'll learn a technique of
using the visual space of images for verbal links. See the handout for
"Image Maps"
Class Blackboard for September 28
Studio
Day on Thursday: We'll have a studio day to work on the Personal
Course Home Page (Final Version). Bring all your materials and your
Dreamweaver book.
Thinking
about screen real estate, we'll attempt two exercises today
1. Jello Page Design. We'll also learn an alternative
layout scheme to Liquid Page Design, called Jello Page Design.
See my home page for
an example of a "jello" design because the page uses an invisible
layout table that is a consistent width, but that is centered so it
floats in the middle of the available space. It's both solid and flexible
at the same time—thus the name jello.
For this exercise, you may want to download a couple of image files
for your background:
Save the final product of this exercise in a folder 5230/exercises/jello
on your disk. At a later date, I'll ask you to post it to the Web and
send me the URL
2. Image Maps (Hot Spots). We'll learn a technique
of using the visual space of images for verbal links. See the handout
for "Image Maps."
Class Blackboard for September 30
The
final version of the Personal Course Home Page will be due
by noon on Monday, October 4. I'll assume
that the URL you posted in the discussion "Projects/Personal
Course Home Page URLs." If this is not correct, send a new
message with the first line "new URL" and the revised URL
pasted beneath it.
Preparing for Workshop: After Monday at noon and
before class on Tuesday, please do the following:
- Review the workshopping
page for ideas about what you might discuss in your comments.
- Visit the Personal
Course Home Pages scheduled for Tuesday in the schedule
below.
- Type written comments and suggestions for each
project scheduled for Tuesday.
- Printout the comments, separated on different sheets
by project, to give to the authors of the sites after class on Thursday
(cutting up single sheets to save paper/printing is fine).
By the end of class on Tuesday,
Copy and paste the written comments you've made
for everyone today into the form "Workshop
Comments for Today" and click send. Be sure to label each
set of comments with the project number and name of the project's
author.

- The Frank Lloyd Wright

We'll continue brainstorming on this project:
- A Conceptualizing Paragraph. In a Word file
saved to your disk, write a paragraph describing your idea for
this project, how it differs from existing sites, your notion
of who the audience is, and how the content you will include would
realize to this concept and purpose. Be sure to explain how this
site is would work for an audience who will never physically visit
your locale or experience it directly.
- Map It. On a blank piece of paper, sketch a
map of what your Glocalization site might look like. What defines
each page?
- Start. Open Dreamweaver, and begin experimenting
with the design and content of a main page for the site.

Visiting Day Workshop. Given
our time constraints, we'll alter our workshop method today to discuss
the remaining eight projects. Instead, we'll have a "Visiting
Day Workshop."
The hosts in the following list (people whose
projects have not been discussed in class) will sit at their computers
with their Glocalization Projects up on the screen. Hosts, try
to sit so there's an empty space next to you for visitors. When
the visitors come around, try to have a conversation with them
about your project, rather than it being just a response.
When the workshop starts, the Visitors in the
list below will stand and choose one of the hosts to sit with
for about eight minutes. Visitors, start by saying what you liked
best about the project. Talk about your reactions and suggestions.
Ask questions of the author to get a conversation going.
After eight minutes, I'll ask the visitors to
stand again and choose another host author. Follow the same process.
After another eight minutes, we'll change again.

which I know some of you will resist. Before you shut the door on
theory, though, please consider Peter Elbow's concept of the Believing
and Doubting Games, and an account of a little
experience I had in Kirby Plaza.

Before we talk about Levy and Turkle, let's
start a list of ideas we've considered so far (in Heim).
This list will give you some topics to choose from for the Analytical
Essays Project.
As we talk about Levy and Turkle today, look for ways that their
ideas and discussions can help flesh out your understanding of Heim's
ideas.
