[Year 12 IT Apps] the gov't document..

[Kent Beveridge]

I just took a look at the document you mentioned about Roland in your reply to Paula. Its very comprehensive and informative. Not to mention a pretty straight forward read even if it is a bit long.
I agree about the positive aspect for our web design content(across many levels!).
Cheers.

Hi there Paula .. I finally took the trouble to give this a good read. Very comprehensive! On page 40, it gives very good authority to the government use of the OASIS XML or open document format, especially for archive and preservation purposes (such as ePortfolios). There is something on the National library website that says more or less the same thing. 

I have been regularly sharing and archiving my work as ODT and ODP documents with students. The free reader is installed on all the school computers. When I upload these open documents to the VITTA website, I also make and bundle in an PDF copy. Eazy peasy ..

	I have just been alerted to this excellent resource  it is long, but just select those aspects that are of particular importance.

	Topics include: file formats, audience considerations, navigation, features of websites, page layouts, information architecture etc. It also includes some very useful examples of good and bad layouts.
