Web design Exemplar Assignment Viewlets How to do a Summary



__Period Overview__
Today we went over the concept of design. We looked at the KU website and discussed what design elements we liked (The alphabet at the top and the easy guides at the top right like email, Kyou, ect.) and other elements that could be improved (Having a description pop up over the easy guide tabs telling you what Kyou is). Next we looked at the School of Education's website as an example of poor design. The issues included: choice of background color (because there is text over a picture it is much harder to read), choice of frame size (The frame on the left is so big that it doesn't allow enough space for the headings in the next frame), in the middle frame the word "studies" appears to be its own link, but the link is actually more than one line, and that the quick links bar is in the lower left corner.

Next we did the Web Exemplars assignment. You should first go to your People Page and put four tildes (~) under your picture (doing this allows people to see your screen name) and "Biography" as a heading. Below the rest of your information you should write Assignments as another heading and then Web exemplars as a second heading. Then, create a table of contents for your page by using the tag. The table should include nothing more than Biography, Assignments, and Web Exemplars. Finally, do the Web exemplars assignment on your people page and then copy paste it to the project page as well.

Then we talked about viewlets. A viewlet is a video of what you're doing on the computer screen. To make a viewlet first download the file (viewletcam_1.71build0033.exe) in the Technology section. Instructional video on how to use a viewlet coming soon.

Finally we covered how to do a summary. First go to the summary page and click the edit this page link. The add a link for the date of your assignment. Then select the summary template and fill in the blanks.
