In this all-MOO tutorial, we will gather some experienced MOOers to share some of their brightest MOO teaching moments. The benefit of using the MOO to hold a MOO workshop will allow users to gain techincal knowledge of the MOO as they think through some of the pedagogical opportunities and problems the MOO presents./p>
This course will work from the CSS class Zach offered in the Spring. It will be an introduction to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) with the objective of enhancing web design skills by providing hands-on experience with presentation and design. This course will focus on skills related to the production of cooler websites, including working directly with code, the Emacs editor, and the basics of semantic markup. The hope is that you'll be able to incorporate these skills into crafting snazzier websites and to teach your students to do the same.
If you're already familiar with creating websites with an editor, but want to take some extra steps to have complete control over your site's presentation, this course is for you. If you've had the experience of creating multiple websites with the same design, and grown weary of cutting and pasting dozens of pages, this course is for you.
This class will meet three times. The material will require a bit of homework or outside reading, but in most cases we'll have time to experiment in class. The content will depend some what on the interests and experience of the participants, but at a minimum the course will cover the following topics.
Before enrolling in this class, you should have a basic familiarity with creating and publishing web pages. This could include an Image Lab Dreamweaver course, or even just some experience using Frontpage. I do recommend also that you have a specific project or site in mind that you want to apply your new skills to. Finally, you should make sure to request Image Lab Access before the class starts since we'll be working on the Unix stations.

This class will introduce the web programming language JavaScript to those already familiar with HTML. Designed to introduce the language and its features, this class will teach the ability to recognize how JavaScript works and emphasize cutting and pasting as a standard practice in learning the language.The NWE Intro will cover the basics of the NWE:
The Basic Web Design class will cover the basics of HTML authoring and the easy-HTML-editing program Dreamweaver and it's easy-image-editing counterpart Fireworks. The first day of the class (Jan. 23, 24, respectively) will teach both basic web skills and will help you set up a basic website with a homepage. The class will teach how to hand code HTML.
On the second class, we will learn how to operate Dreamweaver to build websites. It is important to know the code in order to know how Dreamweaver writes HTML. So, with each of the following we will discuss first how to hand code and then using Dreamweaver.
On the third day (Jan. 30 and 31, respectively) we will cover the basics of Fireworks including:
Each day will include time for experimenting with the software after class.
This course will be an introduction to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) with the objective of enhancing web design skills with more hands-on knowledge of presentation and design. This course will also serve as a segue into the more advanced "Designing with CSS" to be offered later in the term. Accordingly, this course will introduce and cover a number of skills related to the production of cooler websites, including working directly with code, the Emacs editor, and the basics of semantic markup. We'll also cover site architecture and using Server Side Includes (SSI) to maintain design consistency. Basically, think of this as an advanced Web Design class with an emphasis on CSS.
If you're already familiar with creating websites with an editor, but want to take some extra steps to have complete control over your site's presentation, this course is for you. If you've had the experience of creating multiple websites with the same design, and grown weary of cutting and pasting dozens of pages, this course is for you. If you think font tags and table-based layouts are for squares, we'll get to that point in this class, but the "Designing with CSS" will probably be more up your alley.
This class will meet twice a week for two weeks for a total of 4 meetings. The material will require a bit of homework or outside reading, but in most cases we'll have time to experiment in class. The content will depend some what on the interests and experience of the participants, but at a minimum the course will cover the following topics.

This course is designed to offer grad students in CLAS a general introduction to using CSS on their web pages. We will start with the basics of CSS and move quickly to introducing more advanced techniques (like positioning and special effects). Students will work toward a goal of redesigning one of their websites with CSS. The mini-course will meet four times: February 1, 3, 8 and 10 at 2:00 PM in the Image Lab. Each session will last 1 hour, but enrollees may wish to stay longer and experiment.
The MOO Pedagogy Seminar meets Tuesday, February 1 and Thursday, February 3 from 10-11:30am. This class will cover how to use the MOO in your class as a discussion space, how to build in the MOO and get students building, and the basics of MOO programming. This seminar is pedagogically oriented, but discussions of other research with the MOO is certainly included within the dynamics of teaching in the MOO.
The Basic Web Design class will cover the basics of HTML and the easy-HTML-editing program Dreamweaver and it's easy-image-editing counterpart Fireworks. The class will teach both basic web skills and will help you set up a basic website with a homepage and several other pages.
As part of the IMAGE Lab's non-credit, no-fee classes, Julie Sinn is offering a class on the basics of using the ASWE editor (an html editor in the NWE classrooms). This class will teach both basic skills in html coding and using the ASWE html editor as a pedagogical tool.
If you need help getting your syllabus online, the IMAGE Lab is offering two short tutorials on it this Friday. The first one starts at 11:30am and the second one starts at 12:30pm. Each tutorial will help you quickly set up a home page and to link your syllabus to that page.
The tutorials will be rather quick - getting your syllabus up and online should take under 20 minutes. The extra time alloted is for help. Please email us with your time preference or just drop by.
For this, just remember to bring your syllabus on a floppy disc.
