Course Web Site Update: 1.9.10

As you may have noticed, the TEC 908 course web site has been updated. I have moved the course content to an updated online course template which should work well across all current web browser platforms and is even compatible with many current mobile platforms like the iPhone.

The content of the World Wide Web module and the options for the Webpage Design modules remains virtually the same although the content of some sections has been updated with minor revisions.

All of the course links have been validated. Dead links have been removed and/or replaced with similar web resources. New web resources have been added to several of the World Wide Web exploration pages.

The content of the Online Communications Module has been significantly revised. The new content brings the course into alignment with the EdTechProfile standards. A new Email Skills Checklist will be used as a self-assessment tool prior to and after completion of the Online Communications Module.

A new Internet Skills Checklist will also be used as a self-assessment tool prior to and after completion of the World Wide Web and Webpage Design Modules.

Course participants who started the course prior to the January 2010 revision, are encouraged to but not required to use these two new self-assessment tools.

Course participants who started the course prior to the January 2010 revision are encouraged to use the updated course web site but can, if they wish, continue use the earlier version of the web site which has been archived and will remain accessible on one of the course mirror web sites at:

Older versions of the course logbook printed prior to January 2010 should work just fine although there will be some minor differences. Course participants can adjust the older logbooks as necessary. Updated versions of the course logbook are available for download in the Course Support Documents section on the updated course web site.

Please let me know if you notice any broken links, typos, are confusing navigation problems and I will fix those as soon as possible.

I appreciate your flexibility with this update process. Bob
