[Year 12 IT Apps] Web authoring software

Google sites can follow the same permissions as a google doc. Which can be revoked as you like. At the end of the lesson etc

I say more secure than manual measures

One issue I would see with google sites is with SAC authenticity, while this is not such an issue with 1-2 as it is with 3-4, How would you stop students adding to work outside of the SAC?

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Web authoring software

Hi,

I am looking at the options for web authoring software to use in unit 1 and unit 3 next year and would like any feedback about using Google Sites. I’ve used Expression Web and DreamWeaver over the last couple of years but a number of students this year asked whether they could have used Google Sites. As far as I can see from the VCAA site the software needs to incorporate the following items:
Web authoring software

  *   cascading style sheet
  *   edit and format content
  *   links (relative and absolute links, internal and external links)
  *   navigation
  *   buttons
  *   screen layout
  *   tagging (metadata tags, alt tags)
  *   forms
  *   incorporate images/sound
As far as I can see from this list Google Sites would meet the requirements and want to offer this an another alternative. Has anyone gone down this path before? I’d appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,
Eugene Van der Westhuizen
