| Are you looking for an easy to use method of creating web (HTML) pages? Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 is quite intuitive, creates standard HTML code, and offers numerous tools to create and incorporate the latest technologies (Flash, DHTML, etc.) into HTML web pages. This short course will provide participants with an overview of the process of web site creation, including server information and options on campus. Introductory topics, such as inserting and modifying text, images, tables, and hyperlinks, will be taught. More advanced topics will also be covered, including interactive images, rollover effects, and Flash text. Hands-on activities will be an integral part of this session. Bring a zip or floppy disk so you can take your creations with you once this workshop is over. Workshop Assumptions: 1. Participants will have a working knowledge of basic word processing. 2. Participants should have created a basic web page. 3. Participants should have a basic knowledge of web page creation and uploading files to servers. Workshop Objectives: 1. Provide an overview describing how Dreamweaver and Blackboard (as well as other web servers) work together. 2. Describe and demonstrate the essential web page construction features of Dreamweaver. 3.
