[Year 12 IT Apps] Creating Websites

Hi all,
Interestingly, the relevant Key Knowledge and Skill in the Study Design say:

 "functions of web authoring software used to manipulate data”

and

 "use web authoring software and select and apply suitable functions, methods, formats, conventions, techniques and design elements to develop prototype websites that operate as intended”

Nothing said about specific skills in HTML or CSS. So it comes down to what constitutes “web-authoring software” these days.

Cheers,

Hi everyone,

Just home from an Adobe presentation of Adobe Muse for website creation on
a visual basis. No knowledge of HTML, CSS seems to be needed.

Could a software program like this be used to meet the Year 12 ITA course
requirements?

It is able to  create a website. But little more than point and click
appears to be needed to create an online community.

Cheers,
Bill Oldham (retired from RMIT)

An interesting question indeed. A decade ago, knowledge of HTML would have
been required. Times change, CMS and click/drag site builders are now the
norm. VCAA's list of required skills for websites may need a face lift,
because its age is starting to show...

It would be nice to be able to use a CMS, there are some good free ones available. At the moment I have limited software choice and most of students will be making sites using only notepad++.

If we could use a CMS it?s not far from building the site in Google Sites is it?
