AT 15-001_FA22: The Internet and the World Wide Web have revolutionized the way we present and gather information. While online portfolios are an essential element of your post-graduation plans (such as preparation for the job market or application for graduate school) we will also ask the more immediate question: How can a personal web presence help you to achieve your goals while being a student at Eckerd College?
This course has a creative component, where we will develop a visually appealing personal web presence. We will build Web pages of increasing sophistication: using various software packages, we will develop skills in web authoring, file management and in web analytics such as monitoring the Web requests ("hits") of our personal sites. We will develop an understanding of the importance of usability and ease of navigation.
When expressing information about us to a worldwide audience, deeper questions than those related to technology will arise. This course will also touch on political and ethical issues such as freedom of expression, censorship, Internet privacy, and deliberate misinformation on the Web.
