Syllabus for:DIG 2001Web Design 1

Professor Delynda Keefe

Welcome to DIG 2100 Web Design I. This is the one and only Wed class in the Digital Arts program. It will expose you to basic concepts of Web design and development. This course introduces students to basic web design and development using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). The course does not require any prior knowledge of HTML or web design but you should have computer competency along with basic knowledge of Internet and MyCourses if you hope to be successful with this online class. Once you have a basic understanding or HTML and CSS, we will use a software program to write our code. Along our journey, I will guide you through the weekly activities and provide support when needed along with a tutor, and many resources to help you have a successful semester. Your job is to log-on to the course each week and do the work. My job is to provide you with the tools to succeed. Together, we will triumph.

Success is not a destination, it’s a journey. Zig Ziglar
