Colleen van Lent, Ph.D.
Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have a page, what do I do now?). Throughout the course there will be a strong emphasis on adhering to syntactic standards for validation and semantic standards to promote wide accessibility for users with disabilities. The textbook we use is available online, “The Missing Link: An Introduction to Web Development and Programming” by Michael Mendez from www.opensuny.org. This course will appeal to a wide variety of people, but specifically those who would like a step–by–step description of the basics. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is assumed that students have no prior programming skills or IT experience. The course will …

Good. But i still confused that where can I find my certification. Anyone knows?
Jared D J –
Great overview of the fundamentals. The final project was very useful. The only recommendation would be to include more hands on exercises like the final project. A similar assignment each week of the course. Perhaps extending the course to 4 or 5 weeks.

The course was great. If you read all the information, watch the lectures, read up on the information again, including the small things that you didn’t quite get, you are actually at the end of class ready to make a decent HTML5 webpage. The information Collen introduces for us is important and she is to the point. And as she stresses herself, it is important to play around with HTML while you are learning it. That said, there is a reason the class gets 4 and not more stars. There are spelling mistakes on the slides she uses. Some she mentions and others she does not. I don’t mind a word or two being misspelled, but when code is missing it is a little more serious. Why? Because we write down the slides, and if we are not careful, and we don’t remember everything after a long period away from HTML, those slides with HTML code where things are missing is not a helper. There is also some contradiction between what her slides say and the book she recommends. That one you will find out when you are taking a quiz and don’t know the answer, because you have two authorities telling you conflicting information. The quizzes have some mistakes in them, which means if you are like me and want to get a 100% score, that test will have to taken a few times. I see students have reacted on this for at least a year, but this is not corrected. It might be difficult now that everything is in place and can’t be changed, but one could certainly give a heads up notice. Point being, going over all the slides and all before the course was put online, was not done. The last part I want to mention is that the final project is too easy. Much more assignments could have been given in this part. I mean, we are here to learn. And the questions which are mostly yes and no questions your peers, which are correcting the final project can’t detail, means you can pass with flying colors without knowing HTML very good. But all in all, it is definitely worth 4 stars.

Great course. I love that there was so much emphasis on semantics and accessibility. The course is way more than just telling you about tags, which most other html courses are like.

I’ve tried other online learning tools. The structure and materials in this course were a home run for me.

I learnt a lot from this course. I knew some html from the early days but never learnt it formally, so this course was a good way to learn how to do html properly. Using the semantic tags rather than divs and bold etc.

This course is really informative and interesting. You will get to know the core principles of web development and html5.
