Description

The cool thing about web design is that it is handy skill regardless of your child's future career path. Whether they start their own business or work for a Fortune 500 company, a firm grasp of web programming and design is sure to give them an edge over individuals who do not. This online course was created for students without any prior web design knowledge and will give them a good knowledge of HTML, XHTML, HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. 

When you purchase an online course, you will receive one pair of teacher/student coupon codes, which you can then activate on CompuScholar (please note that one-year subscriptions start when course is activated). The student has access to lessons, online text and quizzes and the teacher has separate access to a teacher guide, answers, and solutions.

The first semester starts with the basics. Students will learn about mark-up languages and tools and begin creating their first web pages by Chapter 2.  The course has a built-in coding engine, so students can type code directly into a web browser and see instant results.  Each lesson has an introduction video, followed by detailed lesson text pages.  Lessons include “Work-with-Me” exercises for practice and short, automated quizzes.  Each chapter has a longer activity, and the student’s work is automatically graded by the online system!

Other topics covered throughout the course include basic HTML elements, lists, hyperlinks, many CSS properties, graphics, tables, videos, dynamic menus, advanced selectors, and more!  Students will have an opportunity to do a creative project at the end of the second semester. Wow, at this point, I really want to use this course! It looks so approachable compared to the other basic web design books gathering dust on my shelf! This one is a solid choice whether your student is naturally tech-savvy or not. ~ Jess

System requirements: Any web browser on any Windows, MacOS, Chromebook, or similar device.

Category Description for CompuScholar Courses

Learning to program may seem daunting, but CompuScholar has created courses that make it understandable and approachable. Anyone with average computer skills can work through these courses. One of the most helpful things about this series is that each thing you do is represented with pictures of what your program looks like, without being too simplistic. The introductions are very informational; anything you could have trouble with is neatly outlined. Another handy feature is that these don't force you into any complicated situations; courses follow a very logical step-by-step tutorial for ease of learning. Another great thing is that all the methods, variables, and "techy things" are introduced as you use them, making it all much easier to follow and remember.

All CompuScholar courses are 1-year subscriptions to online course content. When you purchase an online course, you will receive one pair of teacher/student coupon codes, which you can then activate on CompuScholar (please note that one-year subscriptions start when course is activated). Each course is designed to be used with one student. Additional student licenses may be purchased directly from CompuScholar after the initial course code has been activated.

The online format offers several nice features including full-color lesson texts, streaming instructional videos, auto-graded quizzes and tests, and an electronic gradebook. Another advantage includes the ability for the publisher to make immediate updates, ensuring that all students have up-to-date information. The instructional videos are an integral part of the program.

Available courses include: computer fundamentals (Digital Savvy and Tech Essentials), Web Design, C# Programming, Python Programming, Unity Game Programming, Computer Science Foundations (AP CSP), and Java Programming (AP CSA). This is a good self-study starter series for anyone wanting to begin a hobby or looking at a career in programming.
