Brief Description
CIS 212 covers design and production of Web sites using Adobe Dreamweaver, an industry standard application for Web development. Past students describe the class as exciting and rewarding.
Here are examples of recent student work.
Learn Online or Face-to-Face
CIS 212 is offered online and face-to-face. Jodi Reed will teach both the face-to-face section and the online section in the fall 2010 semester.
Online students need to have access to a reliable computer with a broadband Internet connection and Dreamweaver CS5 (CS4 is ok, but you will have to adjust to differences between learning materials and Dreamweaver interface). See How an Online Class Works for details.
Jodi uses Moodle for class management (quizzes, grades, turning in work, discussion). Moodle accounts are set up the weekend before classes begin. All course Web pages link to the Moodle login. Let Jodi know if you are unable to log in to Moodle after the first day of class with your college user name (usually first.last) and password usually 6-digit birthday.
Fall 2010
Fall classes begin August 23. The course materials will be ready when the semester begins. Please send me an email once you enroll. I'll send a welcome email with instructions mid-August- let me know if you don't find it. This email is sent from Moodle to the email address you provided to WebAdvisor.
The online section is now full. If you are interested in the class, you can sign up for the face-to-face section, which still has a few spots. You can also get on the wait list. Last semester there was a lot of turnaround in the first week, so most people on the waiting list got in.
If you feel frustrated with the class section cuts, contact your legislators to let them know how the budget cuts have affected your education.
Here's what you can do in AUGUST before class begins:
- Add the course if you have not done so. Please do this ASAP -- this will add you to the roster. You cannot add the class late, even if you have done all the course work. Use WebAdvisor to add this class.
- Send Jodi an e-mail after you enroll
- Please confirm your WebAdvisor email address. (Do you need to see how to change your WebAdvisor address?)
- Complete the student information form
- Purchase textbooks and start reading
- ONLINE STUDENTS:
- Purchase and install Dreamweaver CS5 (see collegebuys.org for academic pricing). YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO DREAMWEAVER CS5 or CS4 TO COMPLETE THIS CLASS! Some students use campus labs, but most install on their own computers.
- Install Firefox - (free download at mozilla.com ). Please do not disable Cookies, JavaScript, and Java
- After class begins, login to Moodle and complete the ONLINE ORIENTATION and do everything listed in WEEK 1 of the schedule.
Textbooks - available at the campus bookstore or online
