<p><font size="2">Hi,<br>
<br>
Reading the Study Design for unit 302 I am seeing that students need to create a website with 'non-functional' interactive content for a virtual team. Also they need to evaluate it.<br>
<br>
1)If my students know how to make websites already then what new skills do I need to teach them for this?<br>
<br></font></p></div></blockquote><div><br>The webmaking skills are pretty modest, so not a lot of training may be required. That's why I do U3O2 as the first outcome. What the kids do need to know is the needs of a virtual team and how they can be satisfied with a website. That's really what is being assessed (as well as the basic networking knowledge required.)<br>
<br>Their site has to demonstrate an ability to help a vt share information and make decisions, and the kids have to demonstrate appropriate tools to achieve those ends (e.g. chat, wiki, forum, shared calendar, security [e.g. a simulated login page to their site], file exchange, team contacts etc).<br>
<br>Since most of these tools will have to be simulated because of the restrictions in a classroom environment, their image editing skills will need to be developed so they can doctor screenshots of such tools in action.<br>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div><p><font size="2">
I can add interactive content with VS2008 VWD ( I hope people are using this or PHP and not dreamweaver/frontpage).<br>
The example SAC's I saw didn't really expand on basic web site building skills.<br>
<br>
<br></font></p></div></blockquote><div>Don't get distracted by spending huge efforts trying to make functional sites: that is not really the point of the outcome. It's about the needs of virtual teams. Software Development is the arena for cracking open VS2008...<br>
