Creating Research-Based Web Sites with Netscape Composer

Web Skills Assignments

The homework for this module contains the following:

• Create a Site Structure Map and a Web Site File Structure for your proposal site.
• Create a storyboard for your proposal site.
• Complete a short Blackboard quiz on Module 2 topics.

Files for these assignments:

Site Structure and File Structure Example PDF File
Storyboard Example PDF File
Storyboard Template PDF File

In Exercise 1 and 2 below, you will be starting the design for YOUR proposal site.  If you know what topic you will be using for your proposal, integrate that into the design of your pages.

1. Create a Site Structure Map and File Structure for the proposal site.  Use the example files listed at the top of this page as a guide.  Your site will probably be similar, but it should not be exactly the same as the example.  Be creative.  This assignment can be drawn by hand – you do not need to create it in a word processor (however, it should be neat and clear).
   
   
2. Create a storyboard for your proposal site.  Once you have the Structure Map and File Structure done, print out the form above and create a storyboard page for each HTML page in your proposal site.  You do not need to be a great artist to complete this exercise.  First, look at the storyboard example listed at the top of the page to see what level of detail is expected, and then start sketching out your designs for the proposal site.  Keep in mind that the storyboard pages, Site Structure map and File Structure should all be describing the same web site.
   
   
3. Finally, take a short multiple choice quiz based on all the information covered in the Module 2 readings.  Read the sections first, then you will be ready for the quiz.  You can take the quiz as many times as you like.  To receive credit for completion, you need to reach a final score of at least 80%. The quiz is located in the Blackboard course for this class.
