First Day of Class

As we try and figure out how to use the blogging feature in Moodle, I thought it best to also keep this blog at blogger.com active.

We had our first meeting today and for the most part I think things went well. The COM 280 and NMS 210 students met as a group and reacted to the "risky" ideas for how the courses would be linked. Although I am sure we will learn some things as we go, there was general agreement that this "experiment" is well worth testing out.

On the technical end of things, we covered a basic introduction to web site organization, site management, Dreamweaver HTML authoring, and using web browsers for testing our sites. In particular, all the students now know how important it is to always test and test often. The Web Developer extensions for Firefox will come in very handy.

That's all for now.
