Fri May 12 18:28:41 AEST 2017

I am just wondering if someone could tell me how to subscribe to the Informatics mailing list?

I have gone to this link and subscribed (twice) without success:

http://www.edulists.com.au/

Can someone please set me on the right path?

Thanks
Sandra

Good afternoon,

Optimising for mobile viewing is not easy to teach without some students having background knowledge (HTML/CSS) in previous years.

If you have a group with background knowledge of CSS classes and IDs, it’s not a huge step to use Bootstrap and their basic templates which then automatically works with screens of varying sizes and widths.

Otherwise, you’re hard pressed to show them the box model and then getting the students to layout their elements with a display of inline-block and centred to the best of their ability.

Still think if you have access to Dreamweaver it’s a great application for differentiation because most students can use the tools available in the Design view to at least achieve a pass, and the advanced students who want to know why their page isn’t working will dive into the Code view and fix it by hand.

Hey David, this was raised a couple of weeks ago so I’m just copying the relevant stuff … nobody pointed out that this was wrong, so I’m running with it ☺ .

Study design says:

Software tools
The following table indicates the software tools that students are required to both study and use in this unit.
Area of Study 3 Web authoring software, visualising thinking tool/s, tool for planning a project

The term “study and use” means you have to teach it somewhere in the course of the outcome. So, you must teach some visualising thinking tools (I’ll use Inspiration for brainstorming/concept mapping), some project planning tool (I use GanttProject) and some web authoring software (I use Notepad and DreamWeaver). For the actual SAC, the students can choose to use these tools.

For “evaluate cloud computing”, this is the group choosing to use an online tool (such as Wix or Weebly or whatever) or not (local site using DreamWeaver or Notepad or whatever). I’d expect some pros and cons and then a decision from the group (table and/or paragraph of writing).

Optimising for mobile viewing (user interaction) is something the team has to do in appearance and functionality of solutions – again, some pros and cons and then a final decision. Make sure you teach every option, but the group chooses which option they are using for their SAC.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me about U1O3 – Collaboration and Communication and its requirements with regards to mobile devices.

Do students have to produce a website that can be viewed:

  1.  on mobile devices or
  2.  do they just have to be able to explain how the User interface, design principles etc differ for mobile when compared to viewing on a desktop / other device?

If so, with the time constraints of teaching content and the SAC, are students able to use wix / weebly (if skill levels are not sufficient for notepad / WYSIWYG / DW). What are the restrictions?
