COURSE DESCRIPTION/RATIONALE
The World Wide Web, has changed the way we live, learn, play and work. Very few businesses have not
been affected by the web, and millions of users in the USA alone, testify to its usefulness and fun. "Web"
literacy is becoming a requirement in the 21st Century. This course will cover the concepts and current
status and growth of the Internet, and in particular, the World Wide Web. We will show how students can
use the World Wide Web with a personal computer in business, school and at home to correspond worldwide, access news, research information, do e-commerce, banking, shopping, investing and more. The
salient features of popular WWW browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and
Google Chrome are covered. How to select and subscribe to an Internet service provider is also covered.
The course includes an introduction to web page authoring using some elementary HTML and XHTML and
auto-authoring programs such as Word and others. Some exposure to internet based technologies including
Social Media Networks, Real Audio, RealVideo, chat, conferencing, and podcasting might also be
presented.
Emphasis is on lots of hands on practice designed to produce interesting and useful projects. Students are
expected to become proficient with all aspects of Internet communications, be able to research any topic,
and produce a working simple Home page that can be loaded on the student's ISP.
