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.)

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).

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.
