courses. During the Summer of 2004, the following course is being taught:
EDUC 885-040 Data-Driven Web Design

an online option. To take the course online, register for it as usual,
then send e-mail to the course instructor fth@udel.edu (yours truly)
letting me know that you want to take it online.
Because Data-Driven Web Design is a new course, let me tell you
that it is a practicum in which participants form teams to design
and develop a data driven Web environment. Each team selects a topic
and conducts research on what has been learned by other groups
developing applications in the content area. Informed by this research,
the team designs a relational database and presents it for critique and
discussion by the entire class. As the environments undergo development
on the Web, the contributions of each team member are logged into an
online portfolio that is used for grading purposes. Please do not worry
about the level of sophistication required to take this new course in
Data-Driven Web Design. Instruction will be provided at all database
levels, from beginning to advanced. You can use FrontPage Wizards,
Microsoft Access, SQL and ADO scripting in JScript or VBScript, or
ADO.NET, depending on your level of knowledge and sophistication.
In the meantime, I hope you have all enjoyed a pleasant Spring break.
