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
