Opening the Door to Cyberspace: Teaching Web Page Construction in the Classroom

摘要

This article shows how to move students from paper-bound text to hypertext. We explain why the web is an important new communication medium-with numbers and testimony to substantiate our opinion; discuss techniques for teaching web-page construction-samples, HTML coding, and document design; show how traditional resumes, proposals, manuals, and newsletters can go online in the classroom; and examine the benefits of teaching online documentation, including instant gratification, new skills, and problem-solving opportunities.
