The Web and Interactivity: More On Web-Weaving

The web as a window:

• Finding information
• Having experiences
• Participating in the conversation/evolution

Becoming a participant

• Deconstructing and constructing the web: a constructivist approach to HMTL (the medium is the message)

  THE NEXT STEPS

• Lists and tables as layout aids
• From a page to an exhibit, with interactivity
• Creating interactivity beyond HTML
  • CGI
  • Java and javascript
  • Quicktime
  • Shockwave, from Macromedia - (look at a novice's effort?)

• Serendip's HTML primer
• Serendip's HTML Glossary of Tags
• Copywright guidelines for multimedia projects, from the IT team at Bryn Mawr College
• Designing/organizing a web page, from the IT team at Bryn Mawr College
• HTML Goodies, a general site with primers, tutorials, and things beyond simple HTML
• Color Center, an interactive site to see, try out what different color codes yield.

Final assignment:

Create a useful HTML document or exhibit for display in connection with the IIT workshop web materials. The document or exhibit should include (among other things) your name and email address. It should be previewed using a web browser, saved as a text only file (or as a set of text only files, with or without additional image files), and emailed as an attachment to pgrobste@brynmawr.edu.
